While some used artificial turf comes with free infill, it’s not always the best choice for homeowners. Two options exist:
- Infilled used turf – synthetic grass with infill inside
- Extracted used turf – artificial grass with infill removed
The process can cost less if the infill stays inside the turf. Meanwhile, you can save money on buying new infill. However, infill is a heavy material. It adds significant weight to the turf. This makes transportation and installation more difficult and expensive.
Extracted turf weighs only around 0.5 lbs. per square foot. Infill can add around 2 lbs. per square foot. Meanwhile, the absence of infill means you are free to choose the best infill for your purposes instead of going with whatever is already inside.
