Artificial Sports Turf
Athletes perform magnificently on artificial grass sports fields. The consistency of the turf, the durability of the surface, and the extra safety features combine to create a sports field that gives new meaning to the term home field advantage. Management will love the cost savings through the years, too.
Artificial turf for sports fields is made from nylon or polypropylene fibers woven onto a secure backing. The strong fibers are weather resistant and protected from UV fade for years to come. Infill materials are used to customize the surface to meet your requirements. Sand, rubber pellets, or other materials can be sued to control factors such as bounce, ball roll speed, and cushion underfoot.
Relyir is a professional sports artificial grass manufacturer and wholesaler, our artificial turf comes in strips or rolls. For larger sports fields, rolls offer the best value for money because they are suited to coverage of large areas.

Sports Artificial Turf Buying Guide
Artificial grass is a super durable surface that performs beautifully in all sorts of athletics environments. Organizations ranging from professional sports teams to small community groups choose artificial turf for its value, performance, and safety.
Why Choose Artificial Grass for Sports?
We’ve already touched on the main reasons artificial grass is such a great choice. Now, let’s expand on those just to show you why fake grass might be a real winner for your project.
Artificial Turf Can Be Safer
Injuries can be avoided and mitigated by installing the artificial turf. Here are some examples of how artificial turf can be safer:
- Extra padding under high impact areas lessens the stress on joints.
- Infill materials designed for traction and secure footing lower the risk of slips and sprains.
- Safety strips can be added that look and sound different to help athletes recognize the edge of the playing area.
- Better performance in inclement weather reduces the chance of injury due to rain, snow, mud, or ice.
Fake Grass is Real Value
Fake grass requires far less maintenance than a real grass field. Your grounds team will not need to do any watering, fertilizing, trimming, weeding, reseeding, or patching. The field will be ready every time it’s needed.
Less maintenance and better poor weather performance means your playing fields can be ready for more events. Playing seasons are longer and the fields can be opened for tournaments and events at different times during the year.
Some maintenance may be required, but cleaning can be accomplished with common tools like a brush and pressure washer.
Artificial Turf is Versatile and Attractive
Many new playing fields are multi-use. With artificial turf, you can install logos, different field markings, and equipment easily. Specific areas for different activities are easy to customize. For example, a baseball diamond can have different surfaces for the infield, base lanes, outfield, track warning strips, and warmup areas around the field.
Artificial grass doesn’t fade over time, never develops giant muddy patches, and can be customized with team or community logos. Every time your teams are ready to play, the field will look great.
Artificial Grass for Sports Fields: Potential Applications
There are almost endless ways to use fake turf to create sports playing fields. Here are some of the most common:

The track can be configured with the perfect turf to create a grass, dirt or clay feel, and the infield can also be turfed to create specific athletics areas.
