Hybrid grass is a solution designed to improve the resistance and stability of football pitches while maintaining the characteristics of natural turf. The system is based on integrating synthetic fibers into the surface, which reinforce the playing field without altering its aesthetics or playability. This combination results in a more stable surface, capable of withstanding the mechanical stress generated by sporting activities and maintaining more consistent performance over time.
Structure of the hybrid system
A hybrid grass pitch consists of a predominant natural component supported by a synthetic reinforcement system. The fibers can be integrated vertically into the ground or inserted into backings positioned at the base of the turf, depending on the technology used. FLexGrass develops both solutions, selecting the most suitable system based on the pitch's requirements, intervention timelines, and expected usage levels.
Differences compared to natural grass
Compared to a natural grass pitch, the hybrid system offers greater wear resistance and a better ability to maintain consistent playing conditions over time. Natural grass remains the primary element of the surface, but the synthetic support limits ground deformation and reduces deterioration in high-stress areas. This increases the continuity of use and improves the overall management of the surface.
When to choose hybrid grass
Hybrid grass is recommended in contexts where the pitch is subject to frequent use and must maintain high performance levels over time. It is a particularly suitable solution for stadiums and training centers, where the surface must support a high number of playing hours without compromising quality. FLexGrass works alongside designers, contractors, and clubs to evaluate the most suitable solution, taking into account facility conditions and usage goals.
Performance and long-term management
One of the main advantages of hybrid systems is the ability to maintain more stable playing conditions throughout the season. The increased surface resistance reduces recovery times and makes maintenance management more efficient. Furthermore, the support of specialized technicians and agronomists allows for optimized pitch management, preserving surface performance over time.
