It is no secret that natural grass has its disadvantages when it is used in a soccer field. To start with, it cannot remain resilient if it is put into use, for instance, three days conservatively in a week. The grass surface can also be greatly affected when it is snowing, or there is a drought. There are other times when the grass ceases to grow also. The above reasons coupled with the need to have fields that are not only durable but can accommodate multiple activities and teams have to lead to more people to install synthetic turf for soccer fields.

Some other reasons that have to lead to this fields rising in popularity, is the high cost that comes with maintaining a grass field, plus the need to conserve more water. Besides the above mentioned, let us look at some of the other advantages of using synthetic turf for soccer fields.

All-weather use

One major disadvantage of having a grass soccer field is that it is likely to become muddy in the event that moderate or heavy rain falls. If it so happens that you play on a grass soccer field when it is raining, then be sure that you will need to replant the grass a day or two after you are done. But this is the direct opposite when you play on an artificial soccer field, where come rain or shine, the players will leave the field surface perfectly as they found it. their ability to be used in any weather conditions make them an ideal option more especially in regions which experience different climatic conditions.

Preparation and versatility

A soccer field that is made of synthetic turf is not only versatile but can endure heavy activities. It goes without saying that when one is using natural turf, you will need to allow it some time to recover before it is used for another activity or before another game can be played on it. so this recovery period is likely to interfere with the schedule of your activities if you wanted to host consecutive events on that particular surface.

Research has it that while a natural turf can handle 100 events in a year, a soccer field made of artificial turf can hold up to 500 events. This is why it is recommended that if you want to put up a soccer field that you will want to use more regularly and for a number of purposes you should go for a synthetic turf.

No growing period

The moment the artificial turf installation process is completed, then it is ready for use. This is not the case with natural playing ground which is likely to take longer in preparation and will require you to tend to it on a regular basis throughout the entire season. When it comes to maintenance, maintaining a grass field is very costly as you will need to mow and trim the grass on a weekly basis as opposed to a synthetic turf which needs minimal maintenance, hence greatly lowering the maintenance cost.…
