Patented Air Field Turf lawns are made by Field Turf USA on many airports in the country because Field Turf is a synthetic turf system that looks, feels and performs like natural grass, but it is nota carpet. 
The development of installing these lawns on airports included years of trials, tests, samples, equipment innovations and advanced formulas. The goal was to develop an artificial grass and turf system which combines the performance properties of natural grass with the benefits of a synthetic solution.Today, there is an enjoyment for the leadership position with over 60% of the marketplace. Many clients represent the vast majority of professional sports teams and high-profile airports, golf courses and private and public lawns.

Generally, Air Field Turf is installed during non-operating periods at night to minimize any economic impact.
With the use of artificial turf which is a surfacing material used to imitate grass is been generally used in areas where grass cannot grow, or in areas where grass maintenance is impossible or undesired. Artificial turf is mainly found in sports stadiums and arenas, but can also be found on airport systems due to its positive feedback from so many years from other spaces too.
