Pile height, density, infill and drainage decide how long a pitch lasts and how it plays. Here is what to ask before you sign.
Choosing synthetic turf is not a cosmetic decision: it shapes player safety, pitch lifespan and maintenance costs for years. These are the points we ask every client to review:
1. Pile height
Football pitches usually sit between 40 and 60 mm. Taller fibres feel closer to natural grass but need more infill and regular care.
2. Density and yarn type
A higher stitch density improves both looks and durability. Monofilament yarns are the most common choice for professional pitches thanks to their resilience and natural look.
3. Infill
Turf is filled with a layer of sand, then rubber granules or organic alternatives — this is what gives the surface its stability and reduces injuries.
4. Base and drainage
The best turf will not last on a weak base. Make sure the build includes compacted base layers and designed drainage falls so water never ponds.
5. Sun resistance and warranty
In a hot climate, choose a UV-stabilised product and ask for a written warranty that states what it covers and for how long.
