   What Is Infill and Why Is It Important?
   Infill refers to the granular materials spread between the blades of synthetic grass, serving several functions:

It helps fibers stay upright.
Provides impact absorption and player comfort.
Enhances ball roll and bounce characteristics.
Contributes to system durability and drainage.
Modern turf systems often use a mix of performance infills and stabilizing sand, depending on their intended application—sports, landscaping, or playgrounds.
