What does sand have to do with the ultimate putting green? When it comes to a synthetic turf green, the answer is everything.
Why go with turfit? We have the utmost dedication to quality when it comes to all aspects of a synthetic turf project – sand is a huge component! We spent some time today with our turf infill sand supplier in Haines City, FL. Why does this matter? When it comes to making an artificial lawn look and feel like a real lawn, a huge component is the sand, in the turf industry we call it “infill”. We use an ultra-fine silica sand that gives the lawn a soft and natural feel and makes the blades stand up, just like real grass. When it comes to putting greens, sand makes or breaks the project.
Silica sands used for turf infills. Most turf installers use a turf infill even coarser than the sand you see on the left. turfit uses an ultra-fine silica sand seen on the right. That’s why our synthetic turf putting greens will out perform any other synthetic turf green on the market. turfit uses ultra-fine silica sand as our turf infill. Silica sand is a naturally round, almost purely quartz sand. It is essentially inert and has great drainage and odor/bacterial resistance properties.

In the picture above, turfit uses the ultra-fine sand in the right jar. Our competition uses sand several grades COARSER than the sand on the left!
Most sand suppliers use a 20/30 grade sand which is SEVERAL grades coarser than the sand we use at turfit. Our fine sand creates a much softer feel and lends great upright qualities to the turf. This matters especially when it comes to putting greens; the finer the sand, the truer the roll. Many turf installers will shirk on the sand to cut costs, resulting in a lower quality putting green for their customers. turfit’s outdoor putting greens use several pounds of ultra-fine silica sand per square foot to achieve high green speeds and a perfectly true roll – just like the greens at your favorite course.
So what makes turfit the ultimate synthetic turf putting green?
