To install infill on artificial grass, you would need to use a drop spreader to spread infill evenly. Then, use a power broom and go against the grain of the lawn to ensure the bristles end up upright.
Why does artificial grass need infill?
The key reasons why artificial grass needs infill include:
- Holds the blades in an upright position
- Protects synthetic fibers from breaking
- Increases fire resistance of artificial turf
- Improves drainage
- Enhances appearance
- Adds weight to the lawn, so it doesn’t move
- Protects the backing from damage
Without infill, the integrity of the artificial turf is much lower. You would need to replace the grass turf more often.
How much infill does synthetic grass require?
Depending on the type of turf, you would need 1-2 pounds per square foot. You might more if the pile height of the artificial turf is high.
How often do you need to add infill to artificial turf?
You need to add infill to artificial turf once every eighteen months.
