The perfect soccer field for every game!
Artificial turf can give you the perfect playing surface for every game of soccer. Soccer (or Football) can be played outdoors or indoors. Artificial grass is a very popular surface for both types of games. From backyard soccer games to international arenas – artificial grass is an awesome alternative to natural grass for the soccer field and it is available in a multitude of varieties and colours. The venue can also be used for other purposes when not having soccer played on the pitch without the risk of damage to the playing surface.
Why are so many sports facilities choosing artificial turf for fields?
Long-Lasting Durability
Artificial turf is designed to withstand heavy use without wearing down, unlike natural grass which can become patchy and uneven. Its strong fibres resist tearing and fraying, making it ideal for high-traffic fields such as schools and community clubs. Brisbane’s heat and storms can take a toll on natural turf, but artificial grass holds up year-round without losing its quality.
Consistent Playing Surface
Natural grass can become unpredictable due to weather and wear, but artificial turf offers a uniform and reliable playing surface every time. This consistency improves ball control and player safety, helping to prevent slips and injuries—making it a great option for schools and training facilities.
All-Weather Playability
Brisbane’s weather can range from scorching heat to heavy rain. Artificial turf handles it all, with advanced drainage systems that prevent puddles and soggy conditions. Unlike natural grass, which takes time to recover after rainfall, artificial turf is ready for play almost immediately.
Easy Maintenance
Maintaining a natural grass soccer field requires frequent mowing, watering, and fertilising. Artificial turf eliminates these demands, requiring only occasional brushing and cleaning. This saves time and money, making it an attractive option for councils and schools looking for a cost-effective solution.
Environmentally Friendly
Artificial turf reduces water consumption and eliminates the need for pesticides and fertilisers, making it an eco-friendly alternative. Many turf products are made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of their lifespan, making them a sustainable choice for modern sports facilities.
Artificial turf is also an ideal playing surface for hockey pitches.
Historically, the game of field hockey was played on mainly on natural turf, but today it is predominantly played on artificial grass. Hockey can also be played indoors as well as outdoor venues, and artificial turf is the preferred playing surface for indoor soccer and hockey as well.
