The present invention includes a safety system for airports and airfields (30). The present invention includes a method for installing an aesthetically pleasing artificial turf (32) that repels birds and other animals and a sub-surface that supports the weight of an aircraft, enhances water drainage and enables the accessibility of airport vehicles to all parts of a runway or taxiway (34). The sub-surface is also adaptable to be an arresting bed that slows the motion of a runway airplane. The present invention further, includes a repelling artificial turf, which includes synthetic fibers (172) as well as stiff fibers or fibers otherwise uncomfortable for an animal or bird. Still further, the present invention includes a multi-pigmented artificial turf adaptable to define a plurality of different shapes and patterns.
