Artificial Grass For Cricket

Can Cricket Be Played On Artificial Grass?

Artificial grass for cricket is an ideal alternative to natural grass. Artificial grass is cost-effective, easy to lay, and can be used year-round in all weather. The main benefit of artificial grass is its low maintenance with superior durability, a balance that’s hard to come by.

• Weather proof: Unlike natural grass, artificial grass doesn’t get muddy, uneven, or waterlogged. In the event of heavy rainfall, it can drain away any excess water efficiently with the help of substrate installed during installation, Drainbase fixings, and a permeable membrane like our Geotextile weed membrane. You can say goodbye to cancelling sessions due to bad weather!

• Low maintenance: Real grass cricket pitches and natural wickets also require consistent maintenance for best performance. This is where artificial cricket grass excels, as it doesn’t need watering, rolling, or re-seeding, just an occasional brush to keep the grass fibres firm and upright.

Instead, you can spend less time maintaining and more time training and playing. For more information about just how low maintenance it is, take a look at our Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Artificial Grass.

Comfortable: Artificial grass is also very comfortable yet firm underfoot, making it the ideal surface for cricket. If you’re looking for a synthetic cricket pitch for a school or cricket club, you can also pair it with a Shockpad underlay to absorb impacts and reduce injuries.
