One of the most important factors to consider when choosing between different types of artificial lawns is whether your lawn should have infill or be infill-free. The decision ultimately comes down to how you are planning on using your new artificial lawn and how much additional time you are willing to spend during the installation process.
Infill is the small particles of sand or crumb rubber which can be put between the blades of artificial grass. The benefits of infill include the fact that it allows the blades of grass to stand up taller and withstand more wear-and-tear, along with offering a feel that is closer to natural grass. However, it usually requires a longer installation process and isn’t required for every application.
Ultimately, you’ll need to consider what type of use you will be getting out of your artificial grass before making a final decision. If you are installing it in a high-traffic area or for use in athletic fields, you’ll want to use infill. Other applications where the artificial turf is more for aesthetics might not require infill. Make sure you discuss your options with a professional before making a final purchase decision.
