Artificial grass fields, with various benefits in comparison to traditional grass field, have gathered great momentum over the last years in sport. This is the case with synthetic surfaces, but these are an artificial grass laid over a special base filled by little rubber granules or sand. Not only do they provide a myriad of benefits like improved durability, consistent playing conditions, lower maintenance requirements etc but They are also safer for the sports played as well.

Synthetic surfaces are by far one of the most durable options out there. Synthetic turf can handle high traffic without degrading, making it the ideal solution for a busy NFL venue as compared to natural grass fields that wear out and become unlevel over time. This is what makes them ideal for sports such as football, rugby or hockey associated with much running, jumping and sliding. Moreover, the uniform properties of synthetic playing fields keep it safe and level which contributes towards reducing player injuries.

Additionally, artificial surfaces contribute to quality standards as they remain much more consistent than astro turf. Unlike natural grass fields that can be softened by the weather and ultimately have an uneven playing surface, synthetic surfaces are uniform throughout despite what might be happening outside. This consistency will make players feel the ball more and therefore show skills to their maximum potential.

Synthetic turf requires significantly less maintenance in comparison to natural grass, this is a crucial advantage. Synthetic surfaces eliminate the need for mowing, watering and fertilizing, thus saving both time and money in the long run. The maintenance, minimal at best only requires for area to be swept or brushed off the surface (leaves and natural debris) with an occasional infill replenishment through the years.

The Pros & Cons of Having a Synthetic Sports Pitch How to keep your synthetic pitch in good working order

While synthetic surfaces such as these are low maintenance, they do need to be looked after and maintained. Wondering what you need to do maintain your sports pitch?

Maintain sterility: Broom and brush the surface will help you to clean up other debris or leaves that gather there over time which allow keeping a better look of your Haro pitch.

Look For Wear and Tear: Are there any rips, or tears on the surface? Most of the time these can be patched using a patch kit which most synthetic turf suppliers will make available.

Topup infill materials: the rubber granules or sand, which provide cushioning on the pitch can wear down over time. Check the level of infill often, and top-up where necessary to promote an even coverage.

If you expect heavy use of a pitch (such as that experienced during the holding of many tournaments and training sessions), give credit to its reduction, for example with mats or rig cover protection.
