This study aims to shed light on the situation of lawn and methods to maintain its
vitality and freshness through a comparison between football stadiums floor covered with
natural grass and other courts floor covered with artificial turf according
to the
construction method, maintenance and impacts on the sport city scene in Latakia.
The results showed a similarity in how to create a flat of natural grass and his
counterpart from the artificial turf, The method is the same of principle with regard to the
preparation of the base and set up a drainage system and limited to the difference between
them on the vegetation layer, natural grasses is growing constantly to form thanks to his
tender plants a soft layer between players feet and the stadium floor, so that can save them
of the falling damage on the ground to overtake on the artificial turf. The artificial turf does
not need to prepare a mixture for cultivation, whereas natural grass requires intensive
operations service, which is not up to the degree of beauty and splendor that we see only
after a great effort and great care.
Lawns in the stadiums, which the floor covers with artificial grass, is not expensive
method, consumes no water and then there is no interest to extend an irrigation network,
does not require etcetera operations service and this interprets its use in some stadiums
because the maintenance is easy and keep clean and in good condition and beautiful
scenery for a long time but it is useless from an environmental perspective.
The results also indicated a good case of natural lawns in the main football stadium,
which was better positioned compared with natural grass surfaces in the training stadiums,
that received less care than in the main stadium. We conclude that the natural grass
surfaces need more maintenance and operations service such as irrigation, cutting,
patching, renovation and removal of exotic herbs and has been providing the necessary
suggestions.
