As a turf installer down here in Boca Raton, I've fitted AST Epic XL Permeable across several backyards. It drains extremely fast - even after heavy summer deluges - thanks to the engineered backing that avoids soggy patches. The 1.75" pile is thick yet resilient; kids and pets bounce right back after jumping on it. It's soft underfoot, UV-stable, and surprisingly low maintenance. For this humid, rain‑prone climate, Epic XL Permeable is a top-tier choice that installs cleanly and performs beautifully.
