Artificial Turf Football Field: Installation & Cost

With the increasing popularity of football and the strengthening of national fitness awareness around the world, more and more schools, communities and sports institutions have begun to invest in the construction of high-quality football fields. Among the many field laying solutions, artificial turf has gradually become the mainstream choice due to its excellent durability, low maintenance cost and all-weather availability. As a professional artificial turf manufacturer, UNIGRASS provides customers with one-stop services from turf selection, foundation construction to installation guidance with advanced production technology and rich international project experience.

Pre-installation preparation: site foundation construction

A high-quality football field depends not only on the turf itself, but also on a solid foundation structure. UNIGRASS recommends that customers choose the following foundation types based on the actual terrain:

Cement foundation: suitable for long-term use and high-frequency sports.

Gravel + compacted soil foundation: low cost, suitable for limited budgets or temporary venues.

Asphalt foundation: has good drainage performance and is suitable for areas with more rain.

We provide detailed foundation construction guidance and support remote technical assistance or dispatch engineering teams to support on site.

Installation process: from laying to completion

The installation process of UNIGRASS artificial turf includes the following key steps:

Leveling and compacting the foundation

Laying the turf roll

Bonding the joint tape to the turf

Pour quartz sand and rubber particles (optional)

Brushing the grass to ensure that the grass is upright

Checking the overall flatness and edge treatment of the site

The entire installation process usually takes 5-7 days, depending on the size of the site, weather and the number of construction workers.
