[Ocean Geotextiles](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/products/geotextile-manufacturers/) are used under both artificial and natural turf to separate layers and drain water away from the playing surface. Heavy use wears any sports surface down, and weather adds to it: strong sun, heavy rain and constant play leave a field and its turf unfit for use over time. As in many other [sectors](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/sectors/), geotextiles help here at low cost. ## Table of Contents ## **Natural Turf vs. Artificial Turf in Sports Fields:** Natural grass is not always practical for a heavily used field. It needs rest and time to grow, suffers from weather and wear, and needs water, fertiliser, pest control and regular maintenance. Bald patches, mud and dust appear quickly, and the number of hours a natural pitch can take each year is limited. Artificial (synthetic) turf is now widely used for sports fields. It can be played on for many more hours a year than natural grass, needs far less water, and costs less in time and money to maintain. It copes with difficult climates and is durable. Choose products tested for player safety and made from materials certified as non-toxic, since infill and fibre quality vary between products. An artificial turf field is only as good as its base, which has to take water off the surface and drain it away. Poor drainage leaves standing water and leads to mould, mildew and bacteria. A geotextile with good drainage properties in the base keeps the turf clean and extends its life. Golf courses use geotextiles too. At the Noida International Golf Course, 6,000 sq m of Ocean Geotextile in 150 GSM and 300 GSM went into the green bunkers and lakes, with 600 sq m of 400 micron HDPE liner: see [geotextile and HDPE liner at Noida International Golf Course](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/geotextile-hdpe-liner-noida-golf-course/). ## **Ocean Geosynthetics Geotextiles in Sports Engineering**: Geotextiles are widely used in building artificial sports fields. Ocean Geosynthetics permeable geotextiles are made of synthetic fibres, woven or needle-punched non-woven. In an artificial turf build, a UV-stabilised polypropylene geotextile layer separates the base from the subgrade, helps drainage, and stops weeds and seeds from taking root through the surface. The geotextile keeps the drainage working and the base stable, which keeps the field performing. It removes the need for frequent weed killer, gives the turf a firm, even base and makes installation easier. Our geotextiles combine good hydraulic and drainage properties with high tensile strength. Natural turf grounds use them too: at a [cricket ground in Puri, Odisha](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/cricket-ground-construction-with-geotextile-solutions/), Ocean’s 140 GSM geotextile separates the gravel base from the sandy, clayey subgrade. [Ocean Geosynthetics](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/) supplies a full line of woven and non-woven geotextiles for sports field construction. Tell us about your field, its subgrade and drainage layout, and our team will recommend a geotextile that suits it technically and on cost.
