Synthetic-Turf-Installer.com Tip
The best way to find how synthetic turf looks and feels is to see it in someone’s backyard. Ask your turf supplier, local dealer or turf installer to give you references so that you can see and feel synthetic turf in an installed environment.
Choose between infill turf and no-infill turf. The type of turf that you choose will depend on your needs and preferences.
No-Infill Turf
No-infill turf is a newer type of turf. No-infill turf is faster and easier to install than infill turf. However, no-infill turf is more expensive than infill turf primarily because it takes more material to manufacture it. No-infill turf can be used in all backyards.

Ideal Uses
No-infill turf is ideal for around inground swimming pools, on top of decks, and on rooftops. Because no-infill turf needs no infill, you don’t need to worry about infill ‘spilling’ or being ‘tracked’ out of the turf into your swimming pool, or off your deck or rooftop.
Look & Feel
No-infill turf may have a different look and feel than infill turf. Make sure you see samples. Your local dealer or professional turf installer should be able to show you samples and advise you on which turf will best meet your needs.
Synthetic-Turf-Installer.com TipSynthetic-Turf-Installer.com recommends that some amount of infill be used in all turf installations, even for no-infill turf. That’s because infill helps the lawn piles ‘stand up’ vertically. Rubber infill will also give your lawn more buoyance – your lawn piles will ‘bounce up’ better with rubber infill.
Infill Turf
Infill turf is what you’ll likely see at your local athletic field (e.g., football, soccer). If you experience high traffic in your yard by kids or dogs, you might consider infill turf in combination with rubber infill.
Ideal Uses
Infill turf is ideal for playground areas, dog runs, and any high traffic areas that require cushioning.
More Cushion
Infill turf takes longer to install than no-infill turf, but, with rubber infill, can provide more cushioning for backyards that need it. Also, dogs seem to like running on infill turf that has rubber infill. Infill turf can be used in all backyards.
Look & Feel
In Synthetic-Turf-Installer.com’s experience, infill turf looks most like natural grass. To be sure, make sure you see turf samples. Your local dealer or professional turf installer should be able to show you samples and advise you on which turf will best meet your needs and wants.
