Playground artificial grass


On many occasions, the coaches, players and trainers in the use of turf, in order to make the temperature drop will often poured the wet turf. This is a good idea and we recommended, because the weather is very hot, wet stadium will soon evaporate, to achieve the real effect of reducing turf temperature. In the same area, the temperature of the wet artificial turf and natural grass rivals. Remember time soon, the prolonged use of the venue, extra pouring water evaporation.

Wet to wet playground surface, not turf soaked in water or saturated with water, do not use contaminated irrigated wet site. The best artificial turf pitch maintenance time is in early spring, this time to deal with playground thorough inspection and to do small-scale patches on the surface. Carefully check whether the stitching loose, the bottom of the entire turf needs to do damage, tearing, burning, check. Draw a sketch of the entire stadium, and record each place in need of repair. But repair shall be selected in a warm, dry weather, if the playground is wet, do not paste the seams and fill turf.

Experience tells us that most of the playground are naturally small damage repair. But no matter what, is not timely repair of small damage will cause problems magnify. Usually cigarettes will melt fiber top and hard spots. Scrub the spots up to make it out of the fiber with a metal brush (to be used for scraping paint). Brush spots brush not open with a razor and then cut the spots.

Cleaning your playground artificial grass  is the only effective way to make your playground to maintain the best state of motion.Cleaning, should prevent the filler with a turf outside, to ensure uniform, suitable for the embedded fiber. "Cleaning" means that all cleaning procedures regardless to what type of equipment used must prevent particles from being swept out of the fiber.

Artificial grass is made of a durable material and resistant


The latest technology in artificial turf - artificial grass VIVATURF is unlike any other grass. His behavior is active, thanks to its exclusive section fibers, which allow it to behave like natural grass.

There is a plastic coating type carpet, but a durable surface with the look and feel of natural grass often will not know the difference. Its design, material and manufacturing process are the result of many years of research and development. With the new fiber VIVATURF, synthetic turf now has better properties and higher strength. Its use has become popular on the terraces, gardens, nurseries, public areas, business areas, sports facilities.


Talking about organic products is a necessity. The current situation makes us look for new ways of production and artificial grass lawn consumption patterns. The environmental damage result in irreparable damage. The awareness of this seems somewhat slow, but gradually begin to see some progress. One argument against the use of these materials is in replacing the natural with the artificial. However, we can not ignore that this product saves very significant amounts of water.


In fact, the use of this type of grass for gardens allows a great saving water and money, and which need not be irrigated, or paid, or need no treatment alternative for maintenance, only a slight brushed regularly.


Artificial grass is made of a durable material and resistant, and is also very hygienic, making it very easy to clean, using a little water and brushing. Also resistant to sunlight, and keeps a deep green color in the garden continuously for at least 10 years. Gardening sand only serves to increase the lawn pesom2, in the case of tinted sands, weight and aesthetic quality hour well substrate used in the ballast we determine the longevity of the turf.


Round singing sand turf soccer, dust free and quality ensures a long product life. By contrast uncontrolled graded sand, sharp or contaminated produces clumping of the lawn, moquetizacion thereof and defibrillation of the fiber.

Artificial grass construction process


Grass fibers shedding, lint-free
 1, the production process is poor, the artificial turf at the end of poor quality cloth, glue, cause poor overall binding force on the grass;
 2, using low-end grass grass fibers (PP material), use grass line from disconnect;
 3, the excipients used unqualified (quartz sand particles is too large, not round), causing damage to the grass.
Fourth, the bottom of the artificial turf corruption, cracking
 1, the bottom of the artificial turf is thin, and the general PP material;
 2, the bottom of the glue of poor quality or poor gluing process, too much is too thick;
 3, venues foundation rugged to be ineligible on the basis of the end of the artificial grass cloth injury;
 4, the basis of the overall poor drainage, base cloth a long soak in water.
Venue artificial turf serious uneven color, the color difference
 1, the poor quality of the artificial grass fibers, uneven thickness, color instability could easily lead to a different color;
 2, site installation poorly designed, scene accessories populate rugged, produce visual color difference;
 Venues foundation uneven seams obvious traces;
 4, filling excipients failed, the contaminated surface layer;
Artificial turf to interface injustice, the gap is too large
 Venues foundation did not according to the standard requirements, uneven, resulting in uneven interface;
 2, poor artificial turf seams connection process caused by uneven;
 3, artificial grass production process and quality problems caused by deformation can not be straightened, create gaps;
 4, the lack of professional experience in construction, lack of a dedicated construction tools and qualified and skilled technicians.
Venue pan-black surface layer messy

Artificial grass lawns


With the improvement of people's economic level, to improve the quality of life of the people can not be ignored topic. Around old friends complained that the pressure of life too, the house, the car is a constant topic every day themselves overwhelmed. I think on their own point of view, the synthetic turf as a green choice, being walked pace with the times, the promoters of a green revolution. Own house is full of natural atmosphere, I think for the majority of office workers, then why not a green return of original war. 

Artificial grass PK rubber floor mats, no doubt, small feel slightly better artificial turf. I do not think any consumer can endure the pungent smell of rubber mats, artificial turf to the contrary, with its comfortable and beautiful to enjoy, but you can easily win your sight. 

The artificial turf in the non-life plastic fiber products as raw material, the use of artificial methods produced intends lawn. It is the solution to the use of high intensity, extremely adverse growing conditions difficult to grow natural grass is not suitable planting lawn an important way. Compared to natural grass, artificial turf has a very distinct advantages and disadvantages. 

Such as weather, rain, snow, weather impact; maintenance simple, low maintenance costs; recyclable material environmental protection, surface layer, is irreplaceable natural turf, artificial grass is very applicable to the frequency of use than high primary and secondary school playground or training ground.
But Sir Alex Ferguson this touches confidence: "I do not think the stadium in Moscow impact on us, and we played a lot of games on artificial turf, our performance is very good." Sir Alex Ferguson's confidence from the non-random, Manchester United five times Expeditionary Russia without a win in the group stage of the Champions League in the 07-08 season, the Red Devils to a 4-2 in Kiev despite wins over Dynamo Kiev, the game will undoubtedly give Ferguson a great confidence.

The most important performance of the artificial turf field


The artificial turf field to use for the end user, therefore, an important performance is closely related with the user. Whether safety, the most important factor in the above sports or play users are comfortable; For professional athletes, sports performance, and, apart from the two outside are equally important.

1 security
Including abrasions and burns caused by the movement of heavy metals exceeded; former a intuitive visual impact on the safety of users, while the latter should superscalar be great harm both the user's health and the environment. Testing laboratories in Europe are very strict standard requirements for heavy metal content; by contrast, the value of most domestic testing laboratories for the detection of heavy metal content is too broad.
2. Comfort
The softness of the fibers of the artificial turf grass more fitting natural grass, the more comfortable, while reducing the risk factor of the movement.
3 sports performance (FIFA recognized several)
- The rolling of the ball
- Angle ball rebound angle
- Cushioning the absorptive capacity of the venue
- Longitudinal deformation of the venue
- Venue rebound performance

Triggered by the comfort of the questions: whether the artificial turf softness potential expense of tensile strength, thereby reducing the wear resistance?

Misinterpretation of tensile strength testing, tensile strength testing of artificial turf in the international standards, artificial turf products through analog movement cycle, reduce the percentage of the tensile strength of the product.

Meet the standard pull tensile strength value basis, the magnitude of the tensile strength decreased lower the better on behalf of the grass fiber quality, rather than the often said that some products tensile strength higher the better the quality. Common sense, high tensile strength of the wire, and is not suitable for the sport. Therefore, the blind pursuit of high tensile strength and ignore to bring users the comfort and safety performance is the practice of putting the cart before the horse.

Artificial turf market prospects 2


Use quality artificial turf chemical fiber materials asphalt or concrete as grass-roots, resulting in hardness of artificial turf, the ball is too fast, the bounce rate is too high, so that the athletes on ball control difficult.
The safety of synthetic grass surface temperature variations, especially during the summer months, the study found that the highest temperature up to 52 ° C, the high temperature will significantly affect the competitive status of athletes and personal safety will. In addition, the artificial turf surface solid buffer performance is poor, can easily lead to the athletes ankle and knee injuries.
On stadium construction quality, type and lawn surface uniformity is quite different, artificial turf and natural grass, and there is no concrete scientific data statistics on the use of performance. However, more professional athletes are still inclined to the game on natural grass. And FIFA clearly does not permit international soccer match on artificial turf, because the technology of artificial turf with natural grass characteristic differences that make players must change significantly. On the other hand, the International Hockey Association hockey must be on artificial turf, because of the consistency of the artificial turf for the game provides the ideal sports surface.
In recent years, along with ways to improve the artificial turf in manufacturing materials, weaving, filling material, making it increasingly narrowing of the difference between the natural turf. Into the 21st century, the use of artificial turf rationalize its use in international competitions has gradually been recognized. FIFA president has decided to allow the use of third-generation artificial turf in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Characteristics of artificial turf


The artificial turf was born in the United States in the 60s of the last century; it is based on the non-life plastic chemical fiber products for raw materials used in the production of artificial methods contemplated lawn. Unlike natural grass as fertilizer, water and other resources necessary for growth of consumption, to meet the need of 24-hour high-intensity exercise, and conservation of simple, rapid drainage, excellent venue flatness. The artificial turf has been widely used in public driving range of dedicated venue for hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis, golf and other sports or as a ground pavement beautifies indoor environments.

The earliest introduction of artificial turfs at the end of the 1980s until the late 1990s a large area of promotion. It becomes the standard of school sports venue construction with plastic track mode, instead of a large number of the original planting natural grass sports venues. With the development of science and technology, the production of artificial turf production technology innovation and improvement.

Modern artificial turf in the shock-absorbing ratio, rolling the ball bounces, steering numerical venues movement indicators closer to natural grass, even in some characteristics, advantages. Sports safety performance, the new generation of artificial grass fiber polymeric raw materials improved the surface coating, can reduce skin scratch and foot contusion sports injuries occur artificial turf and natural grass respective advantages relative prominence, deficiencies and shortcomings exist objectively choose to use must be taken into account in accordance with the actual situation.

Motion performance compared with natural grass, artificial turf spaces are usually built hardness is much greater, the friction coefficient of the chemical fiber is often less than the blades of the lawn grass, artificial turf is relatively natural lawn advantage of excellent venue uniformity, flatness much better, you can fully avoid the poor condition of the ground caused due to factors such as climate, conservation, thus affecting the game.

Artificial grass looks bright green seasons, lively, good drainage performance, long life, low maintenance costs.

Artificial grass news


Maintaining a man-made grass is simple. When washing, wipe it with a push broom. Artificial stitches usually include a warranty. Even though the warranty for only eight or 10 years, many artificial stitches last considerably longer. They are able to as much as 15 or even two decades after the last.

Children love to play outside and that pleasure we must always give. But you fear for your landscaped lawn? Then an artificial grass cost a good solution. Sports Grass is in fact better than artificial grass, slightly longer and has the look of real grass. This makes it an ideal product for intensive use.

So feel free to grab a football and enjoy your sports turf. Artificial grasses are child friendly and safe to play. Indeed, they are often used as a base for children's playgrounds and playing fields. Artificial pitches are designed and tested by TNO for the consumer. The sports turf, the substrate and the type of sand are specially tailored to the needs of consumers.

The artificial grass provides the look and feel of natural lawn and is engineered to withstand pet usage. The surface is made of polypropylene and it is installed over a 4” graded layer of crushed stone with specialized sand infill brushed on the surface to support the fibers and prevent movement in high winds. The surface is resistant to sun damage, never muddies and is always available. The turf does not require dangerous fertilizers, drains well and never has to be mowed.

Many different species of grass are currently used, depending on the intended use and the climate. Coarse grasses are used where active sports are played, and finer grasses are used for ornamental lawns for their visual effects. Some grasses are adapted to oceanic climates with cooler summers, and others to tropical and continental climates with hotter summers.

In the northern climes bent grass greens are the norm while Bermuda grass is used throughout the south. Maintenance is the big factor in growing your own green and to keep your green in the same type of condition as your local course requires that you have a mower designed specifically for greens and you'll also have to have the ability to vertices’ and verify that green of yours.

Synthetic turf for tennis courts


Tennis court with synthetic turf is very comfort.
Application Procedure synthetic turf consists of laying a carpet of polypropylene or polyethylene fibers in horizontal permeable porous concrete, carpet stabilized silica red-brown color, which gives a natural look Curt.

Reason: It is important that the ground is stable and consistent for quality tennis court. Therefore, it must include a drainage system, the structure of permeable gravel and stable permeable base layer as a support game coverage.

The game coverage: According to the requirements of the tennis playing surface, there are coating fibers of varying density and height. Weather conditions do not affect the playing surface as a result of this constant support. On such a court can be played in almost any weather.

Line marking courts are made of white fibers are integrated into the coating and are aligned to the level of the playing surface.

By playing characteristics of artificial grass cover resembles clay court: better quality rotation and sliding and comfort while playing.

The advantage of artificial grass courts in that it reduces the load on the muscles and joints, and because the surface is soft, it facilitates long rallies. Soft coating reduces maintenance costs and guaranteed for 10 years.

Maintenance by the user: It is a simple cleaning of leaves with a tennis turf court. Professional service: It is recommended to sign a contract for the annual professional service for high-quality playground.

Grass used putting greens



Putting Greens are grown of "Bent Grass". It is unusual grass that must be cut very short and requires an unbelievable amount of attention and care. To begin with it requires special equipment to mow. It is also very subseptical to disease and requires very balanced and monitired levels of fertiliity... 

This is not an average type of "plant" that one can just try out because it will require an all or nothing approach.
Having said this- if your retired, need a new way to spend your cash... and are willing to treat this as a daily hobby then go for it... You will need to conduct some research prior...

Otherwise, you may want to consider VIVATURF zoysia artificial grass, it's a common golf course grass that is very hardy and requires very little attention. It rims up very tightly and you can cut it shorter than normal turf without causing it harm. It's even treated much different than most grasses in terms of your yearly routine. The main drawback is that it remains dormant much of the year; it turns to a tough light brown that resembles jute door mats.

In the northern climes bent grass greens are the norm while Bermuda grass is used throughout the south. Maintenance is the big factor in growing your own green and to keep your green in the same type of condition as your local course requires that you have a mower designed specifically for greens and you'll also have to have the ability to verticut and aerify that green of yours.

Irrigation for the green is crucial as is the ability to identify and deal with golf green diseases. In the long run you'll find that for a home owner to have a backyard green an artificial surface is more convenient and much easier to deal with even though the initial installation cost is higher. You will be able to save a lot of dough by doing most of the prep work yourself. Weigh the pros and cons of both and enjoy your new putting green regardless of which surface you choose.

History of the grasses used in lawns



Prior to European colonization, the grasses on the East Coast of North America were mostly broom straw, wild rye, and marsh grass. As Europeans moved into the region, it was noted by colonists in New England, more than others, that the grasses of the New World were inferior to those of England and that their livestock seemed to receive less nutrition from it. In fact, once livestock brought overseas from Europe spread throughout the colonies, much of the native grasses of New England disappeared, and an inventory list from the 17th century noted supplied of clover and grass seed from England.
New colonists were even urged by their country and companies to bring grass seed with them to North America. By the late 17th century, a new market in imported grass seed had begun in New England.
One such species, Bermuda grass, became the most important pasture grass for the southern colonies. Kentucky bluegrass is a grass native to Europe or the Middle East. It was likely carried to Midwestern United States in the early 1600s by French missionaries and spread via the waterways to the region around Kentucky.
However, it may also have spread across the Appalachian Mountains after an introduction on the east coast. Kentucky bluegrass is now one of the top three pasture grasses in the United States and the most desirable species of grass for landscape lawn.
Farmers at first continued to harvest meadows and marshes composed of indigenous grasses until they became overgrazed. These areas quickly fell to erosion and were overrun with less favorable plant life. Soon, farmers began to purposefully plant new species of grass in these areas, hoping to improve the quality and quantity of hay to provide for their livestock as native species had a lower nutritive value. While Middle Eastern and Europeans species of grass did extremely well on the East Coast of North America, it was a number of grasses from the Mediterranean that dominated the Western seaboard. As cultivated grasses became valued for their nutritional benefits to livestock, farmers relied less and less on natural meadows in the more colonized areas of the country. Eventually even the grasses of the Great Plains were overrun with European species that were more durable to the grazing patterns of imported livestock.
Many different species of grass are currently used, depending on the intended use and the climate. Coarse grasses are used where active sports are played, and finer grasses are used for ornamental lawns for their visual effects. Some grasses are adapted to oceanic climates with cooler summers, and others to tropical and continental climates with hotter summers.
Often, a mix of grass or low plant types is used to form a stronger lawn when one type does better in the warmer seasons and the other in the colder ones. This mixing is taken further by a form of grass breeding which produces what are known as cultivars. The artificial grass cultivar is a cross-breed of two different varieties of grass and aims to combine certain traits taken from each individual breed. This creates a new strain which can be very specialized, suited to a particular environment, such as low water, low light or low nutrient.

Artificial turf for dogs

Just as sports teams gradually converted to artificial turf, the dog industry followed. Most kennels and daycares, however, found the conversion just too expensive. Today, the larger facilities are committing the capital because they believe the superior surface, lower maintenance and greater flexibility justify the investment.

Every surface for dog play areas has its own unique properties. Artificial grass is great until you add a little rain and a lot of traffic. Concrete is easy to hose off but becomes very hot in the summer and it is obviously a very hard surface. Pea gravel was the surface of choice because it drained well and was relatively easy on dog paws. Other surfaces such as rubber mats or pellets have been tried with moderate success. Artificial turf turns out to be the best overall surface. It’s clean, tough and has the comfort and feel of grass.

The artificial turf provides the look and feel of natural lawn and is engineered to withstand pet usage. The surface is made of polypropylene and it is installed over a 4” graded layer of crushed stone with specialized sand infill brushed on the surface to support the fibers and prevent movement in high winds. The surface is resistant to sun damage, never muddies and is always available. The turf does not require dangerous fertilizers, drains well and never has to be mowed.

The design at VIVATURF incorporates a few addition features recommended by our staff. First, we installed a sprinkler system to make sure that even on the hottest days, the surface stays cool. Second, hose bibs were installed so that the surface could be spot cleaned and the wading pools could be filled when needed. The third thing we added was a shady area over part of daycare by extending the roof of our new addition to cover part of the daycare area.

Installing artificial turf has been a major commitment to providing a pleasant and safe environment for our canine guests.
