FAQs
How does infill affect the way a synthetic soccer field plays? Infill is part of the playing system, not simply material added to fill space between the turf fibers. Its composition and condition influence impact response, field speed, and how the ball interacts with the surface. Keystone coordinates infill mixtures with the requirements of the field and selected turf. After installation, checking infill levels and condition helps identify areas that need attention so the field can continue to provide consistent support and ball response.
What maintenance does a synthetic turf field need after installation? Synthetic turf still needs regular care to manage debris, infill movement, and wear. Grooming helps redistribute infill and lift flattened fibers, while appropriate cleaning removes contaminants that accumulate in the surface. Checks of seams, inlays, and infill condition can identify developing problems before they become more extensive repairs. Keystone recommends maintenance suited to the installed system and the manufacturer’s instructions, with the level of use helping determine the care required.
