Why is infill important?

The addition of infill helps the faux grass blades stand up and keep it's real look in high-traffic areas. Infill also gives you the feel of walking on real grass by emulating the impact absorption qualities of soil.  It helps to weigh down the turf and helps keep the turf from getting wrinkles or ripples caused by movement.

BETTER: Rubber or Sand Rubber Mix

Applications: For lawns, high traffic locations, athletic fields, play grounds, in both commercial and residential applications.

Pros: Rubber is a very soft infill, it will not get to hard, it adds volume to the turf, it does a great job keeping the fiber up and in place and  it's pretty easy to install. Because of its volume properties, one 50 lbs bag covers between 100 & 200 SQFT.

Cons: Rubber is hotter than sand only, it can transfer rubber dust onto clothes and shoes, holds some odors and does not kill any bacteria.

Cons: It's more expensive than silica sand, it doesn't cover the volume that rubber covers, you may need a pad under the turf for play grounds or fields because of the fall rating. Install between 1 to 2 lbs per SQFT.
