Artificial Grass Infill Replacement
Artificial grass infill is a product placed between the fibers/blades of artificial grass. It is one of the most critical components of artificial grass landscape systems. Infill helps keep the turf fibers standing upright, giving them a complete, lush feel while protecting them from damage such as breaking and fraying.
Main Applications For Artificial Grass
Residential Landscapes
Play Areas
Commercial Landscapes
Golf & Putting Greens
Pet Areas
Indoor & Outdoor Sports Facilities
Revitalize Your Artificial Grass Landscape
Infill is a heavy component layer that helps keep the turf weighted to limit the risk of wrinkling and lifting. Artificial turf is prone to movement throughout the seasons without proper infill depths and weight.
There are dozens of infill offerings for artificial turf, and most fall under one of these three categories:
- Rubber: Crumb Rubber, Coated Rubber
- Sand: Coated Sand, Dyed sand, Silica Sand
- Organic/Natural: Camofill, Zeolite, and Others
Artificial Grass Infill Replacement
Green-R Turf only uses organic and natural infill products for our installations and replacement service. We care about the environment and only use natural infill that meets safety requirements, enhances soil and water quality, reduces pollution, and promotes a self-sustaining cycle of resources. Our choice of infill is eco-friendly, water-efficient, odor-neutralizing, and, most importantly, safe for children and pets.
Replacing the Infill can revitalize its Look, Feel, & Functionality, Offering a Range of Benefits
Enhanced Appearance & Stability:
- Upright Fibers: New infill helps the artificial grass blades stand upright, creating a fuller, more natural, and lush appearance, preventing a matted-down or flattened look.
- Reduced Wrinkling: Infill acts as a ballast, weighing down the turf and minimizing wrinkling, bunching, and shifting, ensuring a smooth and even surface.
Improved Performance & Safety:
- Enhanced Drainage: Fresh infill allows water to drain more efficiently, preventing puddles and promoting a drier, more usable surface, especially in wet conditions.
- Shock Absorption: Certain infill materials, like rubber or specialized coated sands, offer superior shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries from falls, particularly important for playgrounds and sports fields.
- Odor Control: Some infills are designed to minimize or neutralize pet odors, creating a fresher and more pleasant environment, especially beneficial for pet owners.
Extended Lifespan & Reduced Maintenance:
- Fiber Protection: Infill shields the turf fibers from excessive wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas, prolonging the lifespan of the artificial grass.
- Consistent Performance: Replacing old, compacted, or degraded infill ensures a more consistent playing surface and overall performance of the artificial turf.
Temperature Regulation:
- Cooler Surface: Certain types of infill, like cork or specialized cooling infills, can help regulate the surface temperature of the turf, making it more comfortable to use in hot climates.
We Offer a Comprehensive Range of Maintenance Services.
The frequency of infill replenishment can vary depending on the usage of artificial grass. Generally, it’s recommended every eighteen months to ensure optimal performance. Synthetic grass infill is a vital component of a high-quality artificial turf installation.
The importance of Artificial Grass Infill
Drainage: Artificial turf infill helps with drainage by ensuring that water can percolate down through the turf. Without infill, water can pool on the surface, leading to muddy, slippery conditions and water damage to the layers below.
Resiliency: Today’s taller fibers are usually polyethylene, a non-abrasive and relatively durable material. Yet, it is a lazy fiber and needs more resilient materials to hold it up, which is done with infill material.
Shock Absorbency: Infill is often used to absorb the impact of falls.
Ballast: Infill is also used to stabilize the artificial grass landscape. By weighing down the turf, infill can help prevent movement and wrinkling.
When Will I Need to Replace the Infill?
Proper installation of the infill is essential to ensure it’s positioned correctly. The infill should be spread evenly throughout the artificial grass and then brushed or broomed into the turf fiber blades. A power broom is recommended to brush up turf fibers and let the infill work between the turf blades. Finally, water the entire area evenly with a hose to settle the material.
Also, please note that each application can be unique, and these are general guidelines.
Which Infill Works Best for Each Application?
Landscape Application:
For the budget-conscious, silica sand infill can be used for a general front or backyard installation where pets and children are absent. With children and/or pets, a more specialized infill is recommended.
Pet Application:
All-natural infill Zeolite / Zeodorizer neutralizes and removes Odors and bacteria. It is integrated with other components that help control the growth of bacteria, mold, and odors. Paired with one of our Microban antimicrobial artificial grasses, adding another antimicrobial layer in the infill will help with odor control.
Putting Green Application:
Silica sand is recommended for most texturized putting green applications. This finer sand will better fill in between putting green blades than the coarser sand used in landscape applications.
Playground Application:
All-natural infill Zeolite / Zeodorizer is recommended because of its integrated antimicrobial qualities. The added level of protection can offer peace of mind as children tumble and roll across the lawn.
Athletic Application:
Indoor fitness areas using Smart Turf Multi-Sport do not require infill. However, when Multi-Sport is used in an outdoor fitness application, All-Natural Infill Zeolite / Zeodorizer is recommended because the artificial turf expands and contracts in the sun.
