Vad är hybridgräs och hur skiljer det sig från vanligt naturgräs?

Hybridgräs är en kombination av naturgräs och landskapsgräs. Det stärker naturgräset genom att tillföra ett konstgjort stöd, vilket gör gräset mer slitstarkt och hållbart. Detta innebär mindre behov av reparationer och underhåll jämfört med vanligt naturgräs.

Vilka är fördelarna med att använda hybridgräs?

Hybridgräs erbjuder flera fördelar, såsom minskade underhållskostnader, ökad hållbarhet under hög belastning, och bättre dränering. Dessutom kan det användas året runt och är miljövänligare jämfört med landskapsgräs.

Hur mycket kostar det att installera hybridgräs?

Kostnaden för hybridgräs varierar beroende på projektets storlek och specifikationer, men ligger vanligtvis runt 300 kr per kvadratmeter. Detta inkluderar material och installation, och är generellt billigare än landskapsgräs.

Hur lång tid tar det att installera hybridgräs?

Installationstiden varierar beroende på ytan och förutsättningarna, men mindre ytor kan ofta installeras på några timmar. Större projekt kan ta några dagar. ÅhusTurf erbjuder effektiva installationsmetoder som minimerar stilleståndstiden.

Kan hybridgräs användas i alla typer av klimat?

Ja, hybridgräs är designat för att fungera i olika klimat och väderförhållanden. Det erbjuder utmärkt dränering och UV-skydd, vilket gör det hållbart även i extrema förhållanden.

Hur underhålls hybridgräs?

Underhåll av hybridgräs är enkelt och kräver mindre insatser än naturgräs. Luftning och borstning rekommenderas en gång om året för att bibehålla gräsets kvalitet. Dessutom behöver hybridgräs vattnas och gödslas vid behov, men i mindre omfattning än vanligt gräs.

Hur lång livslängd har hybridgräs?

Med rätt underhåll kan hybridgräs ha en livslängd på över 10 år. Dess hållbarhet och motståndskraft mot slitage gör att det håller längre än både naturgräs och landskapsgräs.

Är hybridgräs säkert för barn och husdjur?

Ja, hybridgräs är helt säkert för både barn och husdjur. Det är halkbekämpat och tillverkat av material som inte är skadliga för människor eller djur.

Hybrid grass

ÅhusTurf Hybrid grass together with natural grass forms a very strong and durable combination. Our hybrid grass is built with a very strong underside where each blade of grass is tied together to form a reinforcement. The reinforcement protects the root system while the blades protect the crown from top wear. The crown is the heart of the plant and from there new blades of grass (stolons) are formed. The design of our hybrid grass allows the blades to grow unhindered up and down through the hybrid grass. After a few days, a clear change is visible where the grass takes over the appearance and after 4-8 weeks takes hold of the hybrid grass and completes the integration process. The status of integration is checked by pulling the Hybrid Grass. If it is stuck to the ground, the process is complete. When integration is complete, the Hybrid Grass is not visible, only the natural grass.

Mechanical stress from animals, people, vehicles, etc. first tears away the blades of grass and then attacks the grass crowns. This is where Hybrid Grass comes in and prevents this so that the roots have room to thrive and the grass crown that is protected can shoot new runners at its own pace without influence from above.

The hybrid grass is 100% draining which means it also provides full ventilation. The grass is available in different blade heights from 12 mm to 60 mm. The blades are UV protected and slip resistant.

Applications of hybrid grasses

Sports: Golf, football, rugby, athletics….
Schools: The slide, the playground, the slope, the schoolyard, the ball field, the shortcut, under the playground equipment, the sledging hill…
Fall protection: Where surfaces require fall protection, the hybrid grass can withstand falls of up to 2.4 meters. Installation is important and therefore must be carried out by authorized personnel.
General: Paths, all grassy areas with wear and tear, the information board, the courtyard, erosion protection…
Decoration: terraces, balconies, entrances…
Temporary: concerts, weddings, exhibitions, fairs, competitions…

Care and maintenance of hybrid grass

The hybrid grass is managed as the grass area you want. Aeration is done with solid sticks. Once a year, the hybrid grass should be brushed so that the plastic blades are visible or depending on the accumulation of organic matter. This is done to prevent a new root system from forming on top of the hybrid grass.
