Price lists for soccer turf are among the most frequently searched queries in the industry. Prices will fluctuate depending on density (number of stitches per square meter), backing material (XPU and latex), and UV additives.
In the first quarter of 2026, the market reported that the average wholesale price of professional-grade 50mm turf ranged from 5.50 to 15.00 per square meter, depending on the specifications.
Step-by-Step Paving Process (For Outdoor Playground Turf & Fields)
Step 1: Site Leveling & Sub-Base Hardening
Requirement: A hard, impermeable foundation is mandatory.
● Action: Pour a concrete or asphalt base, or compact a “hardcore” (crushed stone) base with a 15mm sand leveling layer.
● Why: Unlike natural grass, artificial turf transfers impact directly to the sub-base. A soft base leads to ripples and unsafe play. For outdoor playground turf for kids, often a shock pad is installed under the turf at this stage (adds 3−5/m²).
Step 2: Panel Layout & Fiber Orientation
● Action: Roll out the large turf panels (standard width 4m). Do not stretch the turf; let it relax naturally in the sun for 1 hour to remove shipping creases.
● Critical Checklist: Check the fiber “lay.” All turf fibers have a natural grain. Ensure all panels face the same direction.
● Pro Tip: From the main entrance/stand, fibers should lean away from the viewer to eliminate glare.
Step 3: Seaming (The “Invisible Join”)
1. Procedure: Fold the edges of two adjacent lawn patches backward. Apply seam tape (a special fabric). Apply the XPU or PU adhesive evenly using a toothed spatula.
2. Waiting time: Wait for the adhesive to become “sticky” (slightly dry to the touch) – usually takes 15-20 minutes, the exact time depends on the humidity.
3. Compact: Lay the lawn onto the tape. Use heavy rollers (50 kg or more) or vibratory plate compactors to compact the joints.
4. Professional bonding techniques: For DS50 (2.51 kg lawn), to achieve a weld-like bonding effect, apply adhesive to both the tape and the lawn backing.
Step 4: Grooming & Infill (If applicable)
● Action: Once adhesive is set (2 hours), groom the fibers with a power brush to lift them upright.
● Infill: For 50mm football turf, infill is required. First spread silica sand (to weigh it down), then rubber granules (for shock). Brush again to settle the infill 10mm below the fiber tips.
