Installation of Hybrid Grass

Greentech Sod installs the hybrid grass of Playmaster by Tarkett Sports, in the Balkan Region. 

Playmaster is the latest game-changing invention from the pioneers of hybrid grass. PlayMaster is a carpet-based hybrid grass technology that offers fast installation, instant playability and the same natural grass feel as GrassMaster. The spray-coated backing guarantees the best agronomic conditions for natural grass, whether the existing subbase is restyled or replaced with new sods.
GrassMaster Solutions only uses sods grown at specialist grass nurseries, carefully selected as partners for their reliably high quality. Players appreciate the level surface, free of divots and mud puddles; owners benefit from an excellent ROI based on a lower investment threshold.
Transform your pitch almost instantly into a robust, top-level sports and event field, and reap the rewards of optimal utilisation of multifunctional venues.


PlayMaster by Tarkett Sports lends itself to two types of installation, both achieved more quickly than with other reinforced natural grass systems.

Ready-to-play sods

• PlayMaster has the premium characteristic of offering an instant, quality solution for reinforced pitch management, not only for new construction but also for emergency situations, when the pitch has to be available within a short period of time. This next generation hybrid surface grants optimal stability and a consistently high quality surface in all weather conditions.
• PlayMaster hybrid grass sods are grown at specialist turf farms and then transported to the site in refrigerated trucks, to alleviate stress to the plants resulting from extreme heat build-up. The sods are then installed on a carefully prepared laying base.
• Because PlayMaster sod is rolled for transport and installation, it is recommended to remove any organic material with a light hand brush and rotary mow, or to blow the surface mechanically, to remove loose matter.
• With ready-to-play sod installation, your PlayMaster pitch is instantly playable.
   

On-site grass cultivation

• PlayMaster can also be sewn directly onto a prepared laying base; final levels and a consolidated rootzone are very important before laying the artificial fabric.
• A special laying frame is used to lay out the first roll completely. The fabric is fully integrated into the rootzone to stabilize the product during installation. The lines of sod are sewn together one at a time until the pitch is covered. The next steps are meticulous infilling, then raking and spreading for optimal system stability. Next, the pitch is seeded with your choice of grasses. Nature – with help from the groundsmen – takes its course to let the plant grow to a suitable stage for playing.
• On-site cultivation provides the most economical installation because it avoids the costs of ready-to-play sods and their transport. The pitch is playable after sufficient natural grass growth, usually between 30-100 days.
• Multiple sites
• The PlayMaster system can also be moved and reused at another stadium or training ground, depending on various parameters.
