Infill turf uses granules (like silica sand, SBR, or TPE/TPO) brushed into the pile. This is the industry standard for high-traffic areas.
Also known as "shorter pile" or "woven" turf, this system relies on a dense, tight-knit construction that requires no loose fill materials.
| Feature | Infill Turf System | Non-Infill Turf System |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Pile Height | 30mm - 60mm | 15mm - 30mm |
| Core Structure | Dual-layer PP/Polyethylene + Latex/PU Backing | Dense Woven PP/Polyethylene + Reinforced Multi-layer Backing |
| Required Maintenance | Moderate (Brushing, infill top-up) | Low (Occasional rinsing) |
| Primary Applications | Sports Fields, High-Traffic Public Areas | Residential, Decorative, Rooftop, Indoor |
| Estimated Lifespan | 8-12 years | 6-10 years |
| Key Performance Metric | Shock Absorption (G-max), Vertical Deformation | Tuft Bind, Dimensional Stability |
A: Per square meter, the turf material cost for non-infill systems is often lower. However, for a complete infill turf system, you must factor in the cost of sand/rubber infill and more complex installation. For a total project ROI analysis, consider lifespan and maintenance. We provide transparent FOB or CIF pricing with a detailed cost breakdown.
A: Absolutely. Our OEM/ODM design service is a core strength. We can produce custom green shades, corporate logo integrations, and tailored pile configurations (e.g., dual-color, diamond-shaped) with minimum order quantities. Our design team will work from your sketches or samples.
A: We pride ourselves on high-speed delivery. Standard products ship in 15-20 days. For containers to major US ports (LA/Long Beach, NY), transit time is ~25-30 days. We handle all export documentation (Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin) and can ship under EXW, FOB, CIF, or DAP terms as you prefer.
A: Yes. We provide free A4-sized samples of our turf and infill materials. For larger projects, we can arrange sample mats (1m x 1m). Our technical team can also provide specification sheets, installation manuals, and CAD drawings to assist your contractors.

"As a landscaping contractor in Florida, I've used both infill and non-infill from XY Grass. Their non-infill product for pool decks is fantastic—no more messy rubber bits. The quality is consistent, and their container loading is always professional, which minimizes damage claims."
Michael T., Landscaping Business Owner, USA"We imported two 40ft containers of soccer turf for a school district project. XY Grass's engineers helped us choose the right SBR/rubber infill ratio to meet our budget and safety specs. The communication was clear in English throughout, and they met a tight deadline."
Sarah L., Procurement Manager, School Facility Department, Canada"Our hotel chain uses their non-infill turf for rooftop bars across Southeast Asia. It looks pristine with minimal upkeep. Working with their OEM team to get a custom shade of green was seamless. A reliable B2B partner for bulk orders."
