EasyLock® Base Panels
A Smarter Way to Build Your Artificial Turf System.
A great turf installation starts with what’s underneath it. EasyLock Base Panels create a strong, stable, free-draining foundation without relying on tons of crushed stone. The patented interlocking HDPE panels reduce excavation, hauling, grading, and compaction while creating a consistent base that’s easier to install and built to perform.
Lightweight, recyclable, artificial turf base panels made in the USA, EasyLock can reduce or, in many applications, replace traditional aggregate base material altogether.
A Modern Alternative to Traditional Stone Base.
A traditional stone base involves more than the aggregate itself. Excavation, hauling, equipment, grading, and compaction all add steps to the installation process. EasyLock streamlines base construction with a lightweight, engineered panel system designed to provide consistent structure and drainage with less groundwork and fewer installation steps.
| Factor | EasyLock Panels | Traditional Stone Base |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Lightweight panels simplify base installation | Requires hauling, spreading, grading & compaction |
| Drainage | Consistent 4,068″/hr, every install | Varies with stone, compaction & skill |
| Groundwork | Reduced excavation & groundwork | Heavy excavation & grading |
| Turf Grip | Multidirectional turf teeth help resist movement | Relies on the finished aggregate surface |
| Site access | Lightweight panels simplify limited-access projects | Rock may require wheelbarrows or larger equipment access |
| Reusability | Panels can remain through multiple turf installations | Base may require reworking during replacement |
Superior Drainage Capabilities for a High-Performing Turf System.
Drainage is where EasyLock shines. Each panel moves water vertically at 4,068 inches per hour and horizontally at 1,673 inches per hour, with surface channels that guide liquids across the top and a honeycomb underside that stores up to 1.98 gallons per panel and moves it sideways to slopes or a perimeter drain. The result is fast, predictable water movement across a properly designed turf system. For pet applications, liquids can move quickly through the turf and panel system, helping keep the turf elevated from moisture and supporting cleaner, easier-to-maintain surfaces.
Simple, Seamless Installation to Save Time & Money on Your Project.
EasyLock installs as fast as it sounds. The patented vertical Drop & Lock system clicks panels together with the correct spacing the first time, and the design automatically accounts for expansion and contraction in any climate — less than 0.03″ of movement in any direction — helping reduce the risk of buckling. The system simplifies panel spacing and layout, helping crews assemble large areas quickly and consistently, and any panel pops out and back in within seconds — ideal for putting green cups, goalposts, playground structures, and access points. Panels can even be turned 90° to minimize cutting waste.
Where EasyLock Works
RESIDENTIAL & LANDSCAPE: A lightweight, consistent base for lawns, patios, poolsides, and backyard installations.
PET AREAS: High-capacity drainage for dog runs, kennels, and pet-friendly turf spaces.
RECREATION: A stable, consistent foundation for putting greens, tee lines, playgrounds, and recreation areas.
LIMITED-ACCESS PROJECTS: An easier base solution for rooftops, courtyards, fenced backyards, over-concrete installations, and sites where moving bulk aggregate is difficult.
