Artificial Grass Infill
What artificial grass infill does, how much a lawn needs and the Camofill that Artificial Grass & Landscaping sells by the 50 lb bag: the rates come from the store's own installation page and catalog, with prices as of November 13, 2026. No regular sand.
What is artificial grass infill and what does it do?
Infill is sand brushed down into the turf after it is laid. It weighs the turf down so it lies flat and helps the blades stand up. Artificial Grass & Landscaping sells one infill, Camofill, an encapsulated antimicrobial sand, $24.95 a 50 lb bag; its installation page says plainly not to use regular sand.
Infill is the last step of an install, after the base and the turf. The whole sequence, with every supply: artificial turf installation supplies and the installation steps.
How much infill do you need per square foot?
Artificial Grass & Landscaping's installation page gives 1.5 to 2 pounds per square foot, so a 50 lb bag of Camofill covers 25 to 35 square feet. A 500 sq ft lawn takes about 15 to 20 bags; the Installation Cost Calculator estimates one bag per 50 square feet for a quick price.
| Lawn area | Infill weight | Bags of 50 lb | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 sq ft | 300 to 400 lb | 6 to 8 bags | $149.70 to $199.60 |
| 500 sq ft | 750 to 1000 lb | 15 to 20 bags | $374.25 to $499.00 |
| 1,000 sq ft | 1500 to 2000 lb | 30 to 40 bags | $748.50 to $998.00 |
A taller, thicker turf holds more, so these are a range: order to the heavier figure and keep the receipt. The calculator's one-bag-per-50-sq-ft rate is a quick estimate for pricing, not the spread weight.
What infill does Artificial Grass & Landscaping sell?
Camofill. Artificial Grass & Landscaping's catalog describes it as encapsulated sand coated with antimicrobial Zinc Omadine, says the coating “helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and algae” and “Helps blades stand up”, and lists it as Non-Toxic/Pet Safe and CA Prop 65 exempt, $24.95 a 50 lb bag. No plain silica sand or rubber crumb is sold.

Does infill stop pet odor?
Only a little. Artificial Grass & Landscaping makes no odor-removal claim for Camofill: the catalog says its coating helps inhibit bacteria, fungi and algae, not that it ends pet smells. Rinse pet spots with water and a little mild soap, use a 50/50 vinegar-and-water mix for odors, and rinse more in summer. No deodorizer or cleaning service is sold.

How do you apply artificial grass infill?
After the turf is nailed down, not before. Artificial Grass & Landscaping's installation steps hand or power broom the turf, spread the Camofill with a drop spreader as evenly as possible, then broom it again so it works down between the blades. Infill goes on top of the turf, never into the base below it.
- Broom the turf first so the blades stand up.
- Spread the Camofill with a drop spreader, as evenly as you can.
- Broom again to work it down between the blades.
- Do not use regular sand for infill: use Camofill.

What this page can't tell you
- Exactly how much your lawn takes: 1.5 to 2 lb per square foot is a range, and a taller turf holds more, so buy to the heavier figure.
- An odor guarantee: the coating helps inhibit bacteria, fungi and algae, but rinsing is what keeps pet areas fresh; the catalog promises no odor control.
- Plain silica sand, rubber crumb or a cooling infill: Artificial Grass & Landscaping stocks only Camofill and says not to use regular sand.
- Curbside freight for infill to a far city: it is pickup-only outside the local area: delivery across California.
