Example implementations of a synthetic turf system comprise a turf tray and a turf element. The turf tray is rigid and planar, and has a lattice structure extending within the lateral perimeter. The turf element includes a backing portion and a blade portion. The blade portion is defined by a plurality of blades of artificial grass affixed to the backing portion, the backing portion is placed secured engagement with the upper side by way of, for example, adhesive or screws. The turf trays may include perimeter and auxiliary adhesive tracks, and an array of screw retention bosses. The system may include a sprinkler assembly mountable in the turf trays for washing down the turf elements. The sprinkler assembly may include mounting flanges configurable to accommodate mounting of various sprinklers. The system may include height-adjustable pedestals or joists to support the turf trays at a distance above the local horizonal surface.

An underlayment layer is configured to support an artificial turf assembly. The underlayment layer comprises a core with a top side and a bottom side. The top side has a plurality of spaced apart, upwardly oriented projections that define channels suitable for fluid flow along the top side of the core when the underlayment layer is positioned beneath an overlying artificial turf assembly.
