Benefits of using artificial grass for a soccer field

Since artificial turf emerged as a viable and cost-effective alternative to natural grass, it has become a staple for the majority of schools, universities, sports centers, and clubs. Behind this trend lie several significant advantages offered by synthetic turf.

Extended playing hours: Artificial grass soccer fields enable extended playing hours unaffected by daylight or seasonal changes. They withstand heavy usage and diverse weather conditions, benefiting clubs and venues with high demand for field access or in regions prone to inclement weather.

Consistency and safety: With a consistently even playing surface, synthetic soccer fields foster fair gameplay and reduce injury risks. This allows players to focus on their performance, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable playing experience.

Clean and mud-free: While the thrill of playing in mud may appeal to some players, others prefer a cleaner experience on the field. Certainly, the absence of dirt is a significant advantage, not only for players who dislike muddy conditions but also for reducing the hassle of post-game washes.

Easy maintenance: Artificial turf needs minimal care compared to natural grass. Simple tasks like regular cleaning and grooming ensure consistent playability, saving time, money and resources for soccer pitch maintenance.

Supports multi-use: Synthetic turf can accommodate various sports and activities beyond soccer, such as football, field hockey, rugby, and recreational events, maximizing utilization of the playing field.

How to maintain a synthetic grass soccer pitch?

Unlike natural turf, you don’t have to water synthetic turf, feed it chemicals, cut it, mark it out and restrict usage. An artificial soccer pitch can be used 24/7, 365 days a year. But, the more it is used the more important maintenance becomes. The cost of maintenance is a lot less than on natural turf, but just as important.

Here are some key rules:

  • Keep it clean: removing leaves, litter and other debris helps reduce contamination that may affect the pitch drainage.
  • Keep the infill regulated: this means ensuring the rubber crumb is kept constant from edge to edge, especially in high-use areas, such as goal lines.
  • Keep the fiber upright: helps ball-to-surface and foot-to-surface interaction.
  • Keep it safe: check the pitch for loose seams, dips or bumps.

How long does an artificial soccer field last? 

The longevity of an artificial soccer pitch depends on the quality of the grass surface, maintenance practices, and usage intensity. Typically, warranties for full-size fields range from 8 to 10 years, with some exceptional yarns extending the period to 12 years. However, for smaller areas like five-a-side football, or training grounds, the warranty length may be shorter.

How often is artificial soccer turf replaced?

When your artificial turf pitch starts showing the following signs, it may be time to consider replacement:

  • Your pitch fails to meet performance tests
  • Rental bookings start to decrease
  • Players start commenting negatively on the playing performance
  • The drainage not working as effectively
  • The fibers are wearing away
  • The seams begin to open up
  • Small tears in the carpet begin to show

Regularly inspect your pitch and promptly consider replacement if any of these signs appear to ensure proper performance and safety. If in doubt, ask for an independent inspection from a pitch consultant or test house.
