The inclusion of pre ‘painted’ lines and lack of growing grass removes the costs and effort associated with routine maintenance of such areas, whereby groundskeepers no longer have to consistently cut the grass to align with stringent requirements for surface length and consistently performing playability, or repaint lines to maintain consistency of playing surface boundaries throughout a season. This aids with maintenance, as damaged sections can be removed and replaced with ease immediately, rather than waiting for soil to heal and the grass to regrow, as with traditional planted grass facilities. Laying the pitch or field involves preparing a suitable load-bearing yet well draining substrate, upon which large rolls of the ‘plastic’ turf is rolled out and joined together. Due to its short length, stiff fibres and hard backing layer required by these sports to maintain a fast surface speed and bounce height while eliminating dead spots, the combination of synthetic grass fibres and sand can be fairly abrasive and is therefore not well suited to contact sports such as rugby, soccer or football. With a short length, medium to high density and consistent coverage, this artificial grass is a popular real grass surface replacement for sports such as tennis and hockey, where high surface speed and slick, consistent performance characteristics are required.
