Artificial turf: the visible surface is only part of the picture. What lies beneath—the artificial grass infill—plays a major role in how your turf performs, drains, and endures over time. Whether you’re installing turf for a backyard, pet area, sports field, or commercial landscape, selecting the best infill for synthetic turf is essential for both function and aesthetics.
At Synthetic Turf Northwest, we use natural, high-quality sand infill that supports durability, drainage, and long-term appearance, without compromising safety or performance.
Artificial grass infill refers to the material placed between synthetic turf blades. It helps keep the fibers upright, adds weight to anchor the turf, and enhances the overall feel underfoot. Without proper infill, artificial grass can appear flat, shift with use, and wear down more quickly.
Depending on your project goals—like odor control, heavy foot traffic, or water flow—different infill types may be better suited to your needs.
Artificial grass infill is more than just filler—it’s a functional foundation that supports the longevity, performance, and comfort of your synthetic turf. Here’s why infill matters:
Here’s a breakdown of the most common turf infill for drainage, comfort, and durability:
Our preferred option, natural turf sand, is minimally processed and free from added chemicals. It’s a straightforward yet highly effective solution for most residential and commercial applications.
Benefits:
Unlike silica sand, which can compact over time and require more maintenance, our natural sand infill resists hardening and provides a more reliable base.
Note: We do not use silica sand due to its higher abrasiveness and tendency to compact.
Our premium Natural Golf Green Infill is specifically engineered for high-performance synthetic turf putting greens. Made from all-natural, lead-free materials, this infill delivers the ideal balance of playability, durability, and safety.
Key features:
Perfect for residential putting greens, commercial golf installations, or any project where performance meets peace of mind.
If you’re a pet owner, you know that odor control and cleanliness are critical. Pet-specific infills reduce odors and promote drainage, making cleanup easier and keeping your yard fresh.

Rubber infill is often used for sports fields and high-impact zones due to its cushioning properties. While effective in specific scenarios, it may not be ideal for residential or pet areas due to heat retention and odor concerns.

Not sure which option fits your project? Our team is here to help you make the right call based on your lifestyle and turf use.
At Synthetic Turf Northwest, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll help you evaluate your specific space and recommend the best combination of turf and infill for maximum performance and satisfaction.
Effective drainage is crucial for the long-term health of any artificial turf installation. Water can pool on the surface without the right infill, leading to mildew, odor buildup, or uneven wear.
Our natural turf sand supports fast drainage by allowing rainwater and irrigation to flow through the turf’s backing and into the sub-base. This reduces water retention and helps keep your turf clean and dry—even in the rainy Pacific Northwest.
