Silica Sand is the best infill I’ve worked with. It adds stability to the turf while helping the blades stand up straight. It’s also easy to apply.
As of today’s turf world, artificial grass used for outdoor sport fields mostly require infills which a combination of sand and cushioning particles to not only hold the turf in place, but more importantly provide sufficient GMAX fall ratings so people play sports on such artificial grass surfaces won’t get hurt when they fall. Technically, if the infills are not preferred by the end user, we can use cushioning pads under the turf to provide the same fall rating, however, such application can be much more costly. For indoor sport fields, the cushioning pads have been used more especially for smaller sized facilities.

I hope your installer has used the correct nails that not visible on your green, of course it will always be ideal to only have infills to hold the turf in place without using any nails.
