Coaches, athletes, and trainers prefer natural grass to reduce physical stress on players. Artificial surfaces are known for their durability and infrequent need for maintenance.
Roots can grow through the woven backing and into the sand below.
Since grass roots grow down through the synthetic fibers and backing, the crown and roots of the plant are protected. Grass can be established by seeding or sprigging. The product claims to reduce the need for renovation and frequent repairs. The synthetic turf material is laid on top of the sand-based root zone. During installation, the seams of the synthetic material are temporarily held to the rootzone with metal sod staples.
