Planting Method of Growing Natural Grass on Woven Artificial Grass

Planting method of growing natural grass on woven artificial grass

There are generally two types of turf grass on the surface of a football field: one is artificial grass (commonly known as fake grass) and the other is natural grass (commonly known as real grass). General professional games are basically required in the natural grass, football field lawn as a platform for football, the quality of the lawn directly affects the game's ornamental, competitive and safety.

For countries with a large population base and a small number of playing fields, the frequency of field use is high, and the natural grass itself is alive and cannot withstand excessive trampling. The limitation of the number of times a natural grass field can be used, coupled with the unscientific construction quality and materials used in many fields, has led to the overall poor level of natural grass in football stadiums. Secondly, some places are lagging behind in the breeding of sports turf and the research on sports turf maintenance and management, which cannot provide the most scientific service for the industry. Finally, some places have insufficient training of professional talents in the field of turfgrass, so the selection of grass species, construction and maintenance management of sports turfgrass are not professional enough to meet the needs of the rapid development of the industry.

The traditional solution is to use artificial grass to solve these problems, the advantages of artificial grass include:

The advantages of artificial grass include: all-weather: artificial grass is basically not affected by weather and region, can be used in high cold, high temperature, plateau and other extreme climatic regions, and long service life; multi-purpose: artificial turf colour is diverse, durable and not faded, and can be matched with the surrounding environment and architectural complexes, which is a good choice for sports venues, leisure yards, roof gardens and other venues; good durability, especially suitable for the use of more frequent school football stadiums or various training grounds. Good durability, especially suitable for more frequent use of school football stadiums or various training grounds; artificial turf late maintenance is simple, no planting, no pruning, indoor can still keep green, winter does not change yellow; the whole lawn is uniform and consistent, will not be like the natural lawn transition trampling will have bare bare area.

However, there are some concerns about the public's understanding of artificial grass, including environmental friendliness and safety. Environmental friendliness is mainly due to the quality of the chemical fibre material and the filler of artificial grass, such as infill rubber granules. The safety of artificial turf is that its surface hardness is large, the cushioning performance is poor, the rebound rate is high, the rolling distance of the football is short, the friction between the athletes and the turf is large, and the recoil force on the athletes is large, which is easy to cause injuries to the ankles or knee joints of the athletes, so that the rate of injuries of athletes' ankles or knee joints on the artificial turf is higher than that of the natural turf.

The method of planting natural grass on woven artificial grass includes the following steps:

Laying of braided artificial grass

The lawn site of the planting layer is inspected, and if the tightness and flatness of the foundation of the lawn site meet the requirements, the woven artificial turf is spread;

Paving sand

After checking the paved woven artificial turf and all the results meet the requirements, the sand paving will be started, which includes the following steps:

Sand is piled up beforehand to do fumigation treatment;

Transferring the fumigated sand into the sand spreading machine, using the sand spreading machine to carry out sand spreading work, and carrying out multiple sand spreading operations; after the thickness of the sand layer formed by the multiple sand spreading operations reaches 1 cm, starting to use brushes to repeatedly brush the site, brushing the artificial grass filaments upright and not being covered by the sand, and at the same time, flattening the sand layer; and/or afterwards installing the brush to the back of the sand spreading machine to carry out sand spreading and brushing the artificial grass filaments upright and not being covered by the sand. grass filament brushes upright and not covered by sand, while smoothing the sand layer;

The sand thickness of the entire site is uniformly 3cm thick, the artificial grass is brushed up and upright, and the laying is completed;

Seeding

Use self-falling seeding hopper to sow seeds, cross evenly 3 times to complete the seeding;

Seedling management

The main maintenance measures for seedling management include irrigation, fertilisation, weed control, pest control and grass cutting.

Lawn management

The main management practices for lawn establishment management include water management, nutrient management, pest and weed management, and lawn maintenance aids.

After planting natural grass on top of artificial grass, the artificial grass system in the middle provides a strong reinforcement effect for the natural grass system, which can withstand the impact of violent sports together and effectively protect the natural grass part from injury, making the lawn more resistant to trampling.

The ground layer is 100% natural grass, and the artificial grass underneath is also made of polyethylene synthetic grass yarn and natural cotton thread, which is directly woven into the grass carpet, and the growth medium is also natural sand, which is composed of 100% safe and environmentally friendly lawn body with the natural grass, therefore, it is not necessary to be careful when using it, and it is more environmentally friendly and safe;

The maintenance cost of the hybrid lawn is relatively low, for example, in the transition zone, there is no need to consider the problem of cross-seeding, or in the northern/southern winter, when the natural grass goes dormant and stops growing, use special knives to remove the top layer of the natural grass part of the lawn.
