There are 4 basic maintenance operations that all ArtTurf artificial turf fields require according to our recommended maintenance schedule. We simply call them Brushing, Aerating, Raking and Sweeping.

ArtTurf Artifical Sports Field Maintenance
1.Brushing – Rejuvenates the matted fibers and levels the top portion of the infill.
2.Aerating – Minimizes risk of slight compaction, by penetrating and loosening the infill with rotating tines.
3.Raking – Prevents fibers from matting down and ensures infill is loosened.
4.Sweeping – Ensures debris doesn’t get into the infill.

Other necessary maintenance procedures should be done periodically and according to ArtTurf’s maintenance guidelines.
Inspection of line markings and seams – In the unlikely event that line markings or seams come apart, then you need to repair them as soon as possible.
Infill topdressing – For high traffic areas, rubber may need to be added to the top layer of infill.
Snow Removal – Snow must be removed according to field-friendly guidelines.

2. If a tile becomes damaged, how difficult is it to replace?
EaseCourt flooring is easily replaced or repaired if a module is damaged. Simply remove the damaged module with a putty knife and replace with a new one. It’s a snap with our patented interlocking flooring system.

3. How expensive is a game court?
Every court is customized to fit your needs and budget. Our team will offer several options to pick and choose from which will determine the price of your court. Please contact us directly for more answers on pricing.

4. How do I maintain my court?
Durability and ease of maintenance are two qualities your EaseCourt game court exemplifies. The open surface design allows water, dirt and debris to be washed away through the underside of the flooring surface. A hose or pressure washer works to remove most of what you will encounter on your court. A leaf blower or even a broom will work very well in removing leaves and grass clippings from your court.

5. Will our investment be cost-effective?
Compared to wood, synthetics and other sports flooring options, EaseCourt provides the best performance at a low cost along with minimal maintenance expenditures.

6. If we have water concerns will the floor be damaged?
Your EaseCourt floor will not flake, peel or blister due to water damage caused by leaking roofs, broken pipes or flooding.

7. Are any chemical materials used in the installation process?
We do not use any toxic chemicals that are poured or glued in place. Our floors are environmentally safe and lock together for ease of installation.

8. What colors do you offer?
EaseCourt carries numerous colors to complement your facility. We can also match most custom colors.

9. How long does it take to install a floor?
Every EaseCourt floor is installed to your facility specifications by our factory-trained certified professional installers. Depending on size, we complete your installation in less than 4 days.

10. What is the longevity of the floor?
Some facilities have had the same EaseCourt floor for 15 years. Contact us for warranty information.

11. Does EaseCourt have any safety features?
A EaseCourt surface is designed with vertical-give to provide cushion for developing children and athletes, unlike hard unforgiving surfaces.

It is suggested that clubs negotiate suitable longevity and performance warranties from the artificial grass surfacing system’s supplier to ensure that the pitch will last in line with the Club’s business plan and intended usage levels. A sinking fund should be established also to ensure sufficient funds are available when the surface needs replacing. Clubs are also encouraged to understand the full levels of maintenance required by the surface, which will be necessary to validate any warranty.

Feasibility study
When considering the installation of an artificial grass pitch it is recommended that a feasibility study should be undertaken to identify what you really want to achieve from your pitch; this decision process is a fundamental element in the success of the future pitch and should be carried out together with your specialist consultant. You should challenge yourself to think about the future of your organization and ensure that you, and your colleagues, share a common vision. Depending on the level of external funding, you may be required by the key funding agency, to have the feasibility study undertaken by an independent body.

At this stage you should ask yourself;
• What are the priorities from your football development plan? Will training be the main use or will you be looking to stage matches on the pitch too?
• Will any other organization or club be a partner in the venture?
• What are the demands for the artificial grass pitch in your area?
• What will your hiring fee structure be across the various times the facility will be open?
• Can the proposed hiring fees be afforded by the local community and will this provide sufficiently towards your sinking fund?
• Have you taken advice from the FAI?
• What surface is most suitable for your clubs anticipated usage requirements?
• What similar facilities in the local area can you visit, gather information from and accordingly note what potential mistakes can be avoided in your project?
• Are you able to commit to the maintenance requirements of the surface? The maintenance of the artificial grass surface is of vital importance if the pitch is to retain acceptable performance and be long lasting. It is therefore essential that this vital aspect of the pitch’s management is not over looked.

Know Your Options:

There are many options when it comes to artificial grass. No matter what size of area you want to install, your wishes should be accommodated with ease. Don’t let a contractor tell you that you have to pay extra without confirming that fact first. It’s all too easy to end up spending a lot more for things that you don’t need.

Understand the Artificial Turf Lawn Product:

Artificial grass comes in a wide range of styles, textures and configurations. Do your research about what is available out there. Understanding the differences in the different types of artificial grass can make it easier to understand the cost. Better still, you will know a good deal when you see one – and be able to justify spending more on higher-quality grass.

Learn About Roll Size:

Remember to always pay attention to roll size when looking at pricing for artificial grass. Try to know exactly the size of the area you are going to be working on, and take care to have preparations ready for calculating the number of rolls of the product you eventually choose that you will need. Ask about roll widths as they can vary, choose the configuration of widths to minimize waste of your artificial grass.

Generally speaking, for one roll, we make 4 meters width and length as your request.

Know What Affects Cost:

Be sure to read the fine print. Lower artificial grass prices often mean lower quality or the need for additional materials such as rubber infill. This is a false economy as topping up with rubber granules on low cost turf means added cost. It is far better to buy on Quality rather than price. Take into account things like artificial turf lawn yarn quality, UV protection, surface styling, backing materials, stitch count and even warranties. Know what best suits your needs, and be willing to sift through the details.

The Cost of Artificial Grass – Beyond the Grass Itself:
When you choose to acquire the services of someone else to do the installation of the artificial grass for you, coming out and laying a roll of grass is not the only task the will be doing. A lot of preparation is involved in successfully installing artificial grass. Things like infill, seaming tapes, soil-stabilising fabrics, barriers, base materials, glues and surface materials all come into play. Remember that if you do it yourself, you’re going to have to buy all of those things, too.

Not having to add any kind of fertilizers is the best part. Adding manures is a very hard job and is also told to be bad for the environment when it rains. Rain makes the fertilizers and it’s bad particles travel into or close by waters like rivers, ponds etc’ and this will eventually lead to them becoming contaminated.

It is obvious that there are numerous advantages to installing artificial turf lawn (otherwise known as synthetic grass). If you put down artificial turf lawn, the air around your home will become significantly less polluted. Also, with a synthetic lawn, you never have to be concerned about mowing the grass.

Studies done by the Environmental Protection Agency have shown that one hour of using your gas powered lawn mower is equivalent to driving your car for a hundred miles. The best way to avoid this is through the use of artificial turf lawn, which not only cuts down on this pollution, but also on the maintenance of your lawn in general.

Some university scientists have recently indicated that the odor causing compounds found in new mowed grass can actually have an environmentally damaging effect. Australian botanists have studied this occurrence and have reported that when you mow the grass of your lawn, it releases hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. They say that this worsens even an already terrible case of smog.

Therefore, it is long overdue that people start confirming pollution levels before using a lawn mower. None of the aforementioned concerns arise with the use of artificial turf lawn. You will notice that your entire house and its surroundings are now environmentally friendly. If you thought installing artificial turf lawn was tedious and difficult, you will be surprised. The grass can be installed on any solid surface with no problems.

Artificial turf lawn is also called waterless grass since they are produced from plastic which is believed to be eco friendly. They need less maintenance and no watering. There is scarcity of water in many places and it is the best alternative to natural grass. There are many benefits to installing it or synthetic grass.

The concept is simple. If you replace real grass lawns, which require a stunning amount of water and upkeep each week, with real-looking artificial turf lawn that require almost none, the return on investment can be substantial. Monthly costs are cut on two fronts. Artificial turf lawn requires less irrigation water, which can be expensive, especially in arid climates. Additionally, lawn maintenance is significantly lower with artificial turf lawn, especially for institutions with large grounds.

Is the cost worthwhile? In many cases, the cost of materials and installation can be last within a couple of years. With interest rates as low as they are currently, if a project is financed, the monthly cost of the artificial turf lawn installation can be significantly lower than the monthly cost of the water and maintenance services that are no longer necessary. This can save the average homeowner upwards of twenty dollars per month. Where larger savings become attainable is with larger properties, such as churches, schools, and commercial buildings. For properties with larger areas of lawn, an artificial turf solution can lead to a savings of hundreds of dollars per month.

There may also be tax savings one can pick up from installing artificial turf lawn. In some cases, local governments even offer incentives for artificial turf lawn to offset some of the initial cost of installation. In all cases, however, property owners should immediately realize lower costs for irrigation water and landscape maintenance. For rental property, that may make the difference between a positive and negative cash flow.

Originally, there was only one type of artificial turf lawn – produced by the typical artificial turf lawn company – that was made with a nylon fiber. This surface didn’t drain well as it needed a large crown and drained off the surface, instead of through it. This product dominated the industry for many years and the strength and size of a few manufacturers made it very difficult for new players to enter the market. But, due to injuries, weather related usage issues, maintenance factors, cost, and new technology, things started to change and these issues allowed room for a new kind of artificial turf company to break into the market.

The second generation of artificial turf lawn was introduced in the 1970’s and was made with a polypropylene fiber and used sand as an infill. This Tennis Turf surface was primarily used for tennis courts, bocce, and lawn bowling. This product, although not a tournament caliber surface, was excellent for resurfacing cracked asphalt or concrete surfaces. It made for an excellent installation on tennis courts located at public parks, condominiums and apartment complexes. In other words, it was perfect for recreational play. It always looked good, was fairly soft under the feet, and bridged over the cracks in an existing all weather court surface, creating a monolithic surface. Commercial customers loved this because they needed to offer tennis courts as an amenity at their complexes but didn’t want to constantly spend money on upkeep and maintenance to keep the facility looking nice. Soon afterwards, more than one artificial turf lawn company tried to market this surface for football and soccer. Unfortunately, it didn’t work and was a complete failure. The product fiber and abrasive sand infill were too hard and painful to land or slide on. A new alternative was quite obviously needed by an artificial turf company if artificial turf lawn was to be successful for multiple usages. Some artificial turf lawn companies tried adding rubber to the infill mix but, although is offered a somewhat softer surface, it was still too hard and way too abrasive because both the polypropylene fiber and sand infill were just too abrasive. It was back to the drawing board for the designers and owners of many an artificial turf company.
