Whether you live in <\/span>San Diego<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Las Vegas<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Los Angeles<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Santa Ana<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Phoenix<\/span><\/a>, many homeowners across the country come to us with the same question: what is infill, anyway? And why do you need it for <\/span>artificial grass maintenance<\/span><\/a>? Although it\u2019s an oft-forgotten aspect of synthetic grass installation and maintenance, infill is actually a crucial factor in maintaining your lawn\u2019s natural appearance and feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is artificial turf infill?<\/h2>\n

Infill refers to the products placed between the blades of an artificial turf lawn, filling in the otherwise empty spaces. This infill aids synthetic grass in many different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

Primarily, it helps the turf blades maintain their upright position and shields the turf\u2019s backing from the sun\u2019s UV rays. It also helps give artificial grass the feeling of natural sod grass, with infill mimicking how soil absorbs impacts. Lastly, infill weighs the turf down to prevent it from developing wrinkles, buckles, or ripples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want your artificial grass to remain lush and full, last for as long as possible, and feel soft and natural underfoot, infill is a crucial component of your turf landscape. Not only do you need to add it during initial installation, but you\u2019ll also need to top it up occasionally as part of your artificial turf maintenance routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much infill is needed for synthetic grass?<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll have to play Goldilocks when adding infill to your synthetic grass yard. Too little, and the infill won\u2019t be able to properly bolster your turf blades and keep them upright. Too much, and you\u2019ll be able to see the infill between the turf blades, ruining the natural grass appearance.<\/p>\n

To get the perfect amount, we recommend following the general rule of applying one to two pounds of infill per square foot. This means that a 50-pound bag of infill will cover approximately 50 square feet of your yard. However, this value is most accurate for initial installation or if you\u2019re re-doing the infill in your yard. If you\u2019re simply topping up your infill as part of your regular synthetic grass maintenance routine, you\u2019ll likely require less product.<\/p>\n

What is the best infill for artificial grass?<\/h2>\n

There are several varieties of infill available, including some that are specially designed to be pet-friendly and odor-eliminating.<\/span> TurFill<\/span><\/a> is the market\u2019s No. 1 choice for pet-friendly infill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TurFill <\/span>neutralizes pet odor by breaking down the ammonia and proteins in their urine to eliminate the smell at the source, rather than simply covering it up with fragrance like other brands. It\u2019s also all-natural, non-toxic, and completely safe for kids and pets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
