PRE-GROWN HYBRID PITCH

Lay & Play

The hybrid technology designed for multifunctional venues

The first eco-responsible "Lay&Play" technology thanks to its 100% recyclable carpet

FROM THE TURF FARM TO THE STADIUM,
A RECOGNIZED KNOW-HOW
IN HIGH-LEVEL CULTIVATED CARPET

1. Hybrid grass is cultivated in a nursery

2. After an order, the hybrid grass is harvested in rolls

3. They are transported to the stadium in refrigerated trucks

4. The sods are carefully installed onsite, the grass is playable immediately

5. At the end of its life, the hybrid lawn is recycled

WHY CHOOSE THE HORIZON "LAY&PLAY" TECHNOLOGY?

The quality of a “Lay&Play” pitch is above all linked to the quality of the turf farm in which the grass was grown. This is why we work with the best farms in Europe, which have a groundstaff experienced in the demands of top-level sports. Given the time required to cultivate the grass, and the high demand for “Lay&Play” solutions, it is preferable to pre-order your plot a year in advance, as the largest multi-purpose stadiums in Europe do.

The carpet backing was developed to be both robust and conducive to the development of the roots. Its airy mesh provides the space necessary for root development, drainage, and oxygenation of the substrate. This patented technology is the first to allow a 100% recycling of the hybrid surface.

Design a lay&play surface

A Lay&Play hybrid surface is particularly well-suited to the needs of multifunctional venues, commonly referred to as "arenas." These structures host a multitude of events during the off-season, such as concerts, temporary structures, and other championships, with a primary goal of profitability. The time between summer events and the resumption of the sports championship is extremely short, leaving insufficient time for natural grass regeneration. The Lay&Play lawn technology addresses this issue with its unparalleled flexibility.

Lay&Play
Construction

The implementation of a Lay&Play hybrid grass field involves pre-cultivating the lawn within a carefully selected nursery chosen for its quality. When the grass needs to be replaced at the stadium, the new grass is harvested in rolls from the nursery and transported in refrigerated trucks to the stadium. The grass is then installed in less than 48 hours and becomes playable in just a few days. Please note that the underlying layers must meet certain quality prerequisites; contact us in advance for more information.

Lay&Play Maintenance

The maintenance of this surface is equivalent to other hybrid grass systems. Particular care from the maintenance team will increase its lifespan. Off-season renovation operations may be more complex than other hybrid systems : please contact us to learn about the specifics.
