A lawn reinforced with synthetic turf fibers
Our HyGreen® 20mm turf is the first Hybrid synthetic turf for ornamental and sports use. The HyGreen® solution benefits from a patented honeycomb backing that meshes perfectly with the natural turf and disappears completely after growth. The fruit of many years of research and development, Hy’Green® offers ideal flexibility for your lawn and adapts to every need. Hybrid turf is an ideal alternative for ornamental lawns and can be used to repair sports fields. Hy’Green® is an economical solution for reducing maintenance on natural turf and strengthening the roots of the lawn through the use of synthetic turf.
The benefits of Hy’Green® hybrid turf
Hy’Green Hybrid Turf offers a number of advantages by combining natural grass and synthetic turf:
- Protects the collar of natural grass
- Forms a barrier against erosion
- 100% drainage, allowing rainwater to infiltrate the soil
- Retards evaporation
The differences between hybrid turf and synthetic turf alone
Hybrid turfNatural evaporation of revitalized rainwater:
- Allows complete drainage
- Filters soil of toxic elements
- Helps evacuate groundwater

Hy’Green® applications
- Repair areas: the Hy’Green® mesh makes the natural grass on repair areas much more resistant, prevents false bounces, facilitates pitch maintenance and increases playability in all weathers.
- Warm-up areas: Hy’Green® optimizes the use of warm-up areas. Hybrid turf provides players with a less damp, less slippery area in winter, while remaining green and more supple in summer.
- Refereeing corridor: Hy’Green® hybrid turf makes the refereeing area safer, as it is generally narrow, always trampled and subject to considerable stress.
- Technical areas: Hy’Green® hybrid turf keeps technical areas clean and comfortable for staff at all times.
- Sports complex and playground access zones: hybrid turf reinforces these areas, which are particularly stressed by trampling and vehicle access.
How to lay hybrid turf? Installation instructions
Hy’Green® hybrid turf can be laid in two ways:
1/ Laying hybrid turf over existing turf
Green Avenue Hy’Green® is laid over existing turf. You’ll need to mow your lawn to around 20mm, then unroll Hy’Green® and secure it with biodegradable staples. This way, you can walk on your lawn directly after installation. The natural grass will grow back through and completely cover the Hy’Green® within 6-8 weeks.
2/ Hybrid turf installation after preparation and seeding
The second solution is to lay Hy’Green® just after preparing and sowing your natural grass. In this way, you should avoid walking on the lawn for 1 to 2 months, depending on the growth stage. The natural grass will grow back through the mesh of Hy’Green® hybrid turf, densifying and strengthening the roots.
Maintaining your Hy’Green hybrid lawn:
After waiting for your lawn to grow to a height of 8-10cm, you can mow your garden. Mowing should not be less than 25mm to avoid damaging the Hy’Green® Green Avenue solution. We recommend brushing Hy’Green® hybrid grass once a year with a road sweeper or rotary brush to prevent grass regrowth and straighten the fibers. Hy’Green® hybrid grass can be maintained in the same way as natural grass. Improved surface quality and more uniform grass cover make it easier for robotic mowers to maintain your lawn. After waiting for your lawn to grow to a height of 8-10cm, you can mow your space. Mowing should not be less than 25mm to avoid damaging the Hy’Green®. It is advisable to brush the Hy’Green® once a year with a rotary brush to straighten the fibers.
