1. What is artificial turf made of?

Artificial turf is typically composed of polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon fibers. The backing is usually made from polyurethane or latex, while infill materials—such as rubber, silica sand, or a combination of both—help support the blades and provide cushioning.

✅ Remove debris regularly

✅ Replenish infill when needed
