Yes, we as the manufacturer of artificial grass strongly recommend using infills on artificial grass. Such infills can be sand, zeolite or etc.. You might have seem some marketing from different artificial turf companies promoting so-called non-infill turf products, don't fall into this false claims. There are two main reasons to have infills on artificial grass:

1. To help the turf stand up better

2. To hold the turf in place and minimize expansions and contractions when temperature changes.

All of our artificial grass products can be called "infill free" if only for the reason of "standing up" better. As the pioneer of the industry with all engineered blades, our products have excellent resilience and need minimum help from infills to help standing up. However, you definitely will need extra weight to hold the turf down better and reduce the movement of expansions and contractions: this is law of physics, the turf will expand and contract during temperature changes, and in areas with big temperature differentials, such movements can pull off the edges or split the seams. With the infills on artificial grass, you will dramatically reduce the chances of such issues.

I thought of skipping sand infills too and told the installers not to put it on my artificial grass, but they told me it would be best if we put it since it will make my artificial grass looking good. Besides, the sands will go down under they said.
Of course, the additional weight would certainly be needed to keep the turf down better.
Yes! It will prolong the life of your synthetic turf and it'll look so much better.
Wouldn't it feel weird to step on if it has some sand on it?
I thought of skipping sand infills too since I imagine that it'll be messy and the sand will stick to the skin once we lay there.
