The 3D Series is AstroTurf’s most popular product line.
The 3D Series adds a RootZone® to basic infilled turf systems. The RootZone, a texturized layer of fibers that draw down to encapsulate infill, results in minimal rubber splash, better shock absorbency, and less infill migration than basic systems. The RootZone improves safety, playability, and durability, making 3D systems the top choice for athletes and field owners alike. Importantly, independently funded research by Michigan State University has shown the RootZone to reduce torque transmitted to lower extremities.
ROOTZONE BENEFITS
- Grass-like traction with reduced torque to lower extremities
- Less infill spray
- Consistent shock attenuation
- Improved durability
System Highlights
- Manufactured with unmatched quality controls
- 3D Decade systems available with ten year, non-prorated warranties
- Multi-ply primary backing system for dimensional stability
- Available with a range of infill options
- Also available in the RootZone 3D HD line, which offers denser configuration for enhanced durability and a more plush appearance
RootZone 3D3 Blend
By combining three unique fibers in one system (RootZone, Trionic Monofilament, and ultra-durable slit film), RootZone 3D3 Blend offers both durability and aesthetics. This is AstroTurf’s most popular system

The 3D Series adds a RootZone® to basic infilled turf systems. The RootZone, a texturized layer of fibers that draw down to encapsulate infill, results in minimal rubber splash, better shock absorbency, and less infill migration than basic systems. The RootZone improves safety, playability, and durability, making 3D systems the top choice for athletes and field owners alike. Importantly, independently funded research by Michigan State University has shown the RootZone to reduce torque transmitted to lower extremities.
This turf system features grass-like traction with reduced torque to lower extremities. The systems and its unique design also mean that it features less infill spray, which affects the longterm durability and consistency of a surface, but can also affect gameplay at times. All portions of the playing surface also offer consistent shock attenuation. Overall, this means that a RootZone field is capable of offering improved and superior durability over other turf systems.
