Stage 1: preparation of the installation

• Dig out Cunet. This is the section that is dug out if the existing ground has inadequate bearing capacity.
• Provide drainage and heating system if applicable
• Apply a foundation layer for water drainage
• Add a thin top layer of sand enriched with compost
• Create an even transition between the foundation and top layer

Stage 2: the natural grass

• Choose the type of grass. This is done in consultation with local experts and is obviously extremely important for the quality of the pitch.
• Sow the natural grass.
• You can also roll out any turf. This option can save a lot of time if an extra fast installation of your reinforced natural grass pitch is required.

Stage 3: inject synthetic grass fibres

Using the patented technology of Desso Sports Systems the synthetic grass fibres are injected into the pitch by computer-operated machines

• 20 million ‘blades’ per pitch
• 1 synthetic grass fibre every 2 by 2 cm
• 20 cm deep
• 1.5 to 2 cm of fibre exposed above ground level

Depending on the circumstances stage 2 and 3 may swap places.

Stage 4: natural and synthetic grass become one

• natural grass grows deeper into the ground along the synthetic fibres
• real’ grass intertwines with the artificial fibres
• the turf becomes stronger and more stable
• the combination of a sand layer and vertically injected synthetic grass fibres ensures faster drainage

Stage 5: Result: a structural, permanent improvement to your natural pitch.
