Different sports fields have now considered using synthetic grass or artificial grass because of its many good characteristics. It is made up of synthetic fibers and is used as replacement for high maintenance natural grass. Many sports locations such as stadiums and sports fields use artificial surface because it does not need exposure to sunlight to grow like natural grass sports fields. It requires no trimming or irrigation as well.

Here are the unique characteristics of synthetic grass which make them appropriate for different sports fields:

  1. Synthetic grass has low impact surface for rough play. Impact injuries are significantly reduced with synthetic surface because they were manufactured to be soft. There is a rubber shock pad under the layer which provides a cushioning effect for strong impacts.
  2. Synthetic grass is non-abrasive. Sports athletes will not complain of serious abrasions because the synthetic surface is very soft. Even when the player slides on the surface, the friction is reduced and players can enjoy a comfortable surface. Synthetic surfaces found in hockey fields provide less friction if they are watered. In such a way, the player will not have skin abrasions when he slides or falls.
  3. Synthetic grass has an outstanding infill system. Customers or owners of sports fields can choose from a wide variety of infill system. The choice depends on the usage of the field. A rubber infill is appropriate for football because it is soft. On the other hand, sand infill is ideal for hockey or tennis because it is more responsive. The fibres on the synthetic surface were made to position upright to slow down the speed of ball in tennis.
