Hybrid Grass

The latest sports grass system is the hybrid grass, a 100% natural sport grass pitch reinforced by millions of artificial turf fibres. 

• With a patented technique, specialized installers inject 20 million Desso artificial turf fibres in a natural grass mat
• The natural grass roots intertwine with the 20 cm deep injected artificial turf fibres
• Result: a high-tech, stable pitch that can take 3 times as much playing than a normal, natural grass pitch

This system has more than proven itself at Premier League and NFL Clubs, multi-functional stadiums and renowned events such as Football World Cup, Rugby World Cup, EUFA European Championships etc. 

The playing quality is the favourite of top players around the world. Stadium managers choose the system that will give them the highest ROI for their stadium.

Hybrid grass is available for football, American football, hockey and multi-sports fields.

Playing quality of perfect natural grass

• optimal ball roll, ball bounce, interaction between player and pitch, grip and slidings
• uniform pitch quality, no loss of quality in goal areas and in the central playing axis

Stronger grass pitch for intensive use

• natural grass roots deeper and is anchored more strongly thanks to the 20 cm deep injection of artificial grass
• training, matches and more teams on the same hybrid grass mat

At least 3 x more playable

• artificial turf fibres stabilise the grass mat => no sod sections that come loose, no sinkage, etc.
• better drainage thanks to the sandy build-up and vertical artificial turf injection

Multifaceted sport infrastructure

• faster recovery of reinforced natural grass mat can be covered for non-sport events
• no extra maintenance in comparison with natural grass

Long-term returns for stadiums

• custom grass mat to match busy sport/event schedule
• better control over the condition of the pitch

Steps of installation

• Excavate the ground layer and install the drainage system
• Lay down the top layer of sand (enriched with compost)Select the grass varieties and seed in consultation ith local experts
• If necessary, using sod (rather than grass seeds) can be used to accelerate the installation process. Computer-driven Desso machines inject 20 million artificial turf fibres 20 cm deep into the pitch
• 1 artificial turf fibre every 2 by 2 cm, maximum fibre height above the ground is 2 cm 
• Natural grass roots intertwine with the synthetic fibres and grow deeper
• Anchoring the natural grass to create a level, firm, and stable playing field
