Turf 101
How artificial turf actually works
Plain-language explainers: what the layers do, where the smell lives, what infill is for, why greens roll fast, what a power broom does.
The anatomy of artificial turf, layer by layer
Artificial turf is built in layers: fibers stitched into a backing, a thatch layer for body, infill that supports and weighs the fibers down, a…
What infill doesWhat turf infill actually does
Turf infill supports the fibers upright, adds ballast weight, cushions the surface underfoot, and helps water drain evenly through the backing.

Antimicrobial infill explainedWhat antimicrobial-coated infill actually does

How turf drainsHow artificial turf drains, and what stops it from working
Water passes down between the infill grains, through the backing, and into a compacted, sloped base built underneath to carry it away.
What a power broom doesWhat a power broom actually does, and why it beats a blower or rake
A power broom uses a motorized, rotating brush to lift flattened fibers upright, loosen compacted infill, and pull embedded debris out of the pile…
Why turf smellsWhy artificial grass smells, in plain terms
Urine contains urea, which is nearly odorless on its own.
Green sand explainedPutting green sand explained: why the shape of the grain matters
Rounded, kiln-dried sand made for synthetic greens, not beach sand, play sand or general construction sand.
UV fade explainedWhat UV actually does to artificial turf fibers over time
and no. Ultraviolet light gradually breaks down the polymer chains in polyethylene fiber, called photodegradation, fading color and making fibers…
What blown clean meansWhat "blown clean" actually means, and why it is the finish standard
A job is blown clean when a leaf blower run across the finished turf moves only loose surface debris, nothing embedded, no clumped infill, no matted…
