BOUND SURFACING
THE TECHTURF ROOTZONE
REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM
Benefits of Naylor TechTurf:
The TechTurf rootzone
reinforcement system was originally
developed in the UK following
extensive research carried in the UK
and USA.
Subsequent research showed that
the use of mesh elements provided
up to a 35% improvement in
reinforcing effect when compared to
all fibre alternatives. The TechTurf
system provides a solution to load
bearing; trafficked or high wear
grassed areas and is SuDs compliant.
The system consists of 3
elements:
a) The reinforced rootzone material
b) Specialised fertiliser
c) Specially grown turf to
complement the rootzone
The TechTurf rootzone is reinforced
with an exact percentage of
randomly oriented polypropylene
mesh elements. The grass roots
penetrate and entwine with the
mesh elements, stabilising the
system and providing positive
anchorage for the grass plants.

The result is an engineered natural
grass surface with high load bearing
characteristics, improved damage
resistance and a unique cultivation
property which overcomes the
problem of soil compaction. It
is an ideal solution for a natural,
environmentally attractive area
where excessive traffic loadings are
anticipated but a natural grass finish
is desired.
a) SUDS compliant - Excellent
drainage properties.
b) Invisible once installed but still
performs.
c) Improved root growth -
reinforcement maintains
hydration and prevents
compaction.
d) Natural Alternative - maintains
the natural environment.
e) No grid reinforcement visible.
f) Versatile - Excellent in 'high
traffic' areas giving a natural
appearance but supplying a hard
wearing surface.
g) Ease of Maintenance - No special
measures required.
h) Cost Effective - a viable
alternative to grid reinforcement.
The system is therefore ideal
for:
Walkways, Emergency access routes,
Sport Surfaces, Aviation Areas,
Equestrian, Landscaping, Housing
Projects & Public Areas
