Artificial Grass for Football Pitches

Ball roll is typically faster and more consistent compared to natural grass, as the surface is even and not affected by wear, mud or uneven ground.

Yes, artificial football grass is suitable for training, small-sided games and recreational matches, providing a reliable surface for regular play. Unlike natural grass, our artificial football grass not only remains consistent across the year due to a lack of mud but can also withstand far more usage than natural grass.

We recommend using football boots designed for artificial surfaces, such as AG or TF soles which are designed to provide better grip and reduce wear on the surface.

It is commonly used in schools, community facilities and commercial sports areas where durability and consistent performance are essential. Football pitches come in all shapes and sizes to contact us to see how we can help.

Artificial football grass is designed to provide a consistent and predictable ball bounce, helping replicate the behaviour of a well-maintained natural pitch.

An existing artificial football pitch can often be resurfaced rather than completely rebuilt. The existing carpet is removed before the base, edges and surrounding areas are inspected to identify any repairs needed. Where the underlying construction remains suitable, a new artificial football surface can then be installed over the prepared base. The exact work required will depend on the age and condition of the existing pitch, so the area may need to be assessed before a resurfacing price is provided.

Trulawn Football can be installed over a suitable hard surface such as concrete, although the existing surface will need to be assessed first. It must be stable, even and capable of supporting the proposed football pitch system. Any cracks, uneven areas or problems with water management will need to be addressed before installation begins.

Trulawn Football is a monofilament product that requires approximately 24kg of sand and 5kg of rubber infill per square metre. The amount needed across the full pitch will depend on its total size and the requirements of the installation.

Infill helps support the artificial grass fibres and forms part of the finished playing surface. It needs to be spread evenly across the pitch during installation and maintained at a suitable level as the surface is used.

The lifespan of an artificial football pitch will depend on the amount of use it receives, the standard of the installation and how well it is maintained. Trulawn Football comes with an eight-year UK guarantee and is UV stabilised to help protect the surface from fading.

Leaves, litter and other debris should also be removed to reduce potential injuries or impact drainage, while high-use areas such as goalmouths and entrances may need more frequent attention. Where an in-fill is required, potential re-infill may be required over time due to use and environment.

Yes, line markings can be incorporated into an artificial football pitch as part of the installation. The required layout should be agreed during the planning stage so the pitch can be prepared for the intended format, whether that is training, small-sided football or a larger playing area.

Trulawn Football is supplied as a kit with a set pitch design, so the markings are based around that chosen layout. If the space needs to support multiple sports or different pitch layouts, a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) would be more suitable, as this uses a different kit designed for that type of flexibility.

Artificial football grass provides a more consistent year-round surface than natural grass because it does not become muddy or worn in the same way. However, access may still need to be restricted during severe weather or where frost, snow or standing water could affect safe use.

The amount required will depend on the dimensions and layout of the pitch. Measurements should include the full playing area and any surrounding run-off zones.
