Artificial grass continues to be the best possible surface for high-level outdoor field athletics ranging from football and soccer to baseball and tennis, as field turf offers a number of economical and performance benefits that natural grass can not compete with.

There are great cost savings in using artificial field turf, as it requires minimal upkeep. The care of sports field turf generally only necessitates brushing, sweeping, or aerating to maintain the quality of the field. Brushing is used to keep blades separated and upright, as well as keeping the infill level. Sweeping is employed to remove debris such as leaves that could possibly affect the field surface, while; aeration of the field turf is to ensure that the infill layer is not compacted. A synthetic turf drainage system manually drains itself, ridding the field of sweat, rain and other liquids, while still allowing water to penetrate through. Additionally, this drainage system protects the field turf from the growth of bacteria, spores and fungus.

Most importantly, field turf aids in water conservation, requiring absolutely no watering; a major plus in comparison to traditional grass sports fields that demand multiple gallons of water to cover their large surface area.
