Fibreturf is the trademark name given to natural turf growing in a Fibreturf rootzone i.e. a fibre-reinforced rootzone.

 

The reinforced rootzone can be produced in situ within the stadium or training pitch site by incorporating Fibresand into the existing or new  sand/soil upper rootzone.

 

Alternatively, the whole Fibreturf rootzone can be produced off site at our Mansfield Quarry as the final, ready to lay fibre reinforced sand/soil blend.

 

This totally homogeneous blend is delivered in bulk tippers to the pitch site and laid as the upper rootzone. It is then consolidated to a typical finalised depth of 100mm, fertilised and seeded to produce the final natural turf finish.

 

The standard fibreturf rootzone for a new pitch is an 80/20 percentage by volume blend of M45 medium grade silica sand and loamy topsoil at a fibre content of 0.30% w/w.

 

Other custom made blends are frequently produced, which can vary in both the sand/soil ratio and the fibre content.
An analysis is made from samples taken from the upper rootzone, prior to the end of the season, to identify exact requirements. This is particularly for end of season renovation work on existing Fibreturf pitches.

Data Sheets on standard and custom made blends are available on request.

 Delivery is in the form of bulk tippers of 10,16 and 20 tonne net rigid vehicles or 28/29 tonnes in articulated vehicles.

Testimonials

"The environment at Old Trafford and other major stadiums is hostile to the maintenance of a healthy playing surface due to a lack of light and air movement, which can make it difficult to sustain a high quality pitch. The Fibreturf surface has performed very well and the fact that it was produced to an exact match to our existing rootzone means that it can be maintained and aerated in a similar way, requiring minimal renovation work."'

 I used Fibreturf Rootzones which included some recycled green compost for the first time in the goalmouths on our 5 fibresand reinforced training pitches with superb results. Easy to handle, easy to install. Excellent stability. Excellent drainage. No erosion. No need to re-turf!

The club have used Fibreturf Rootzones during renovations for many years now. The pre mixed material has the exact sand/soil ratio and fibre content that we need. This has enabled me to keep the pitch to the high standard that helped me win the League 1 Groundsman of the Year award in 2006.
