Sports grounds

The protection of the environment and the conservation of green spaces and sports grounds force us to develop optimal soil structures for healthy foundations.

Mixtures based on washed sand allow rapid drainage and reduce the impact that compaction can have on the health of lawns. They also limit wear and density loss in areas such as in front of goals and crosses.

These areas can be irrigated quickly and maintain the level of humidity and oxygen the plant needs. A precise ratio and careful selection of materials provide a uniform blend, which retains the nutrients the plant needs to minimize stress, maintain density and encourage rapid turf recovery.

With the environment at the heart of our priorities, we have made major investments in recent years to convert our equipment to renewable energy, electricity.

These state-of-the-art equipment limit our ecological footprint during the production of our materials, which is a source of great pride for our company.

Top dressing

Composting is a cultural practice necessary for the health of the turf, specifically on sports fields because of the traffic caused by its use. Regular top dressing will level the playing surface, amend existing soil, control thatch and improve soil structure for better rooting and drainage. It will also make a difference in your seeding work.
