What is hybrid stitched grass?
A 100% natural surface created by stitching synthetic fibers into a natural grass field. This strengthens and stabalizes both the grass canopy and root zone, increasing durability for both sporting and non-sporting uses. Stitching uses an electric machine and typically takes 6-12 days.
Benefits of Hybrid Turf
- Allows more use of field
- Plays and looks just like natural grass
