Hybrid surfaces for sports fields.
The hybrid system combines the naturalness of the grass pitch with synthetic reinforcement systems designed to improve surface stability and wear resistance. This technology allows for maintaining the feel and playability of a natural field while ensuring greater continuity of use and better field hold over time. Hybrid surfaces represent FLexGrass's main area of specialization.
Why choose a hybrid surface
Hybrid surfaces are the choice of top clubs worldwide to meet the needs of modern sports facilities.
Surface Stability
The reinforcement system improves ground hold and reduces turf deterioration.
Greater wear resistance
The hybrid structure allows the field to withstand more intense usage loads.
Continuity of use
The field maintains constant performance throughout the sports season.
Natural playing quality
The turf retains the appearance and feel of natural grass.
FLexGrass hybrid systems.
Hybrid surfaces represent the evolution of professional sports fields, combining the characteristics of natural grass with synthetic reinforcement systems designed to improve stability, resistance, and continuity of use.
FLexGrass develops hybrid solutions designed to meet the needs of high-intensity sports facilities, where surface quality must be maintained over time even under frequent use conditions. Hybrid systems allow for a playing surface with a natural look and behavior, while simultaneously improving the field's capacity to withstand mechanical stress and intensive use cycles.

Horizon is a hybrid system with horizontal reinforcement, designed to ensure surface stability and rapid installation.
read moreThe system is based on a "lay and play" technology which involves the use of pre-cultivated sods from specialized nurseries or cultivation directly on the field. The presence of the synthetic support allows the natural sod to be reinforced, improving wear resistance and the field's ability to maintain constant playing conditions.
The structure of the system promotes drainage and oxygenation of the substrate, while also ensuring correct penetration of the root system. The synthetic fibers, integrated into the system, contribute to stabilizing the surface without altering the behavior of the natural grass.
Horizon is designed to guarantee a uniform, resistant, and safe surface for athletes, with more efficient management of maintenance activities and a reduction in operating costs over time. -
Vertix is a "stitched" hybrid system, developed for high-level sports fields that require high performance and continuity of use.
read moreThe system involves the vertical integration of synthetic fibers into the ground, creating a reinforced structure that maintains a predominant natural component. The resulting surface is composed of approximately 95% natural grass, with synthetic reinforcement that improves the field's resistance and recovery capacity.
The fibers are inserted with high density and depth, ensuring uniform reinforcement across the entire playing surface. This allows the field to withstand a high number of hours of use, maintaining stability, flatness, and playing quality even under intensive use conditions.
Vertix is used in high-level international sports contexts and represents a solution designed to ensure durability, constant performance, and reduced surface recovery times.
A system designed as a whole.
The creation of a hybrid surface does not only concern the grass pitch; our approach allows us to obtain stable, high-performing sports surfaces designed to last over time. FLexGrass designs the entire pitch system:
design of the sub-base
drainage system
installation and laying of the hybrid system
Realized Projects.
Every pitch realized represents a project built on the specific needs of the client. From sports centers to major stadiums, FLexGrass works alongside professional clubs, construction companies, and technical consultants to create reliable and high-performing sports surfaces.
