Netlon Advanced Turf System

An attractive, natural grass surface with advanced load-bearing capacities and rapid surface drainage

Netlon Advanced Turf System is an ideal natural-grass stormwater management solution. Over the past decade, high-level civil engineers and turf grass specialists have rigorously tested and supported this innovation. It consists of small interlocking, three-dimensional polyethylene mesh elements. When integrated with a sand base profile, this specially prepared root zone creates a reinforced layer that both resists compaction and also increases load-bearing capacities. Washed turf or seed is spread over the turf-stabilizing system. Then, as the roots develop, they penetrate through the mesh to construct deeply anchored root systems and remarkably stable vegetation. As a result, this permeable stormwater product enhances infiltration and reduces the creation of ruts. Furthermore, it forms a surface that provides “memory” and encourages grass to spring back into shape.

Key benefits of Netlon Advanced Turf System:
  • Attractive, natural grass solution with no visible structures
  • Facilitates rapid surface drainage 
  • Exceptional load-bearing capacities
  • Less rutting and compaction (therefore, it is safer for athletes and pedestrians)
  • Reliable source control for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)
  • Highly tested by industry experts
Applications that benefit from installing Netlon Turf Systems: 
  • Sports fields
  • Multi-use event areas such as festival grounds and parks
  • Emergency vehicle access roads
  • Heavy Goods Vehicle roads (HGV)
  • Overspill parking 
  • Urban drainage projects
  • Helipads 
  • And much more!

What is the Netlon Advanced Turf System?

The Netlon Advanced Turf System offers a specially prepared root zone that blends thousands of small interlocking mesh elements. Apply washed turf or seed and establish grass cover. As roots develop, they penetrate through the mesh and form a deeply anchored root system. As a result, the system supports a remarkably stable root zone with a free-draining natural grass surface. All the while, it is highly load-bearing and has no visible structures.

What are the benefits of the Netlon Advanced Turf System?

When integrated into a sand base profile, the Netlon Advanced Turf System creates a reinforced layer that resists compaction and rutting, increases load-bearing capacities, and enhances infiltration properties.

What are grass and soil reinforcement products?

Grass and soil reinforcement products are synthetic, non-degradable soil and seedbed covers. They vary in thickness and provide short-term protection against raindrops and wind erosion. In addition, they offer permanent support for vegetation on slopes and armor ditches, swales, and channels. Due to their UV stabilized, synthetic fibers, filaments, nettings and/or wire mesh that are processed into three-dimensional reinforcement matrices, they serve permanent and critical applications where site conditions exceed the limits of mature natural vegetation

What are the benefits of grass and soil reinforcement products?

Add grass and soil reinforcement products in order to significantly improve the resilience and durability of turf areas. In addition, these innovations minimize soil compaction. This permanent erosion control solution holds soil in place meanwhile allowing vegetation to flourish. Benefit from sufficient thickness, strength, and void space to permit soil filling and/or retention and the development of vegetation within the matrix. Many times, it serves as a stopgap between the saturated soil or “mud” and foot/vehicular traffic.
