Turf Reinforcement Mesh

Turf reinforcement mesh is a plastic mesh for the reinforcement of turf and grass. The turf reinforcement mesh reinforces the grass and enables the grass to intertwine with the mesh filaments creating a strong stable reinforced surface. The plastic mesh reinforces the turf and is ideal for pedestrian and light vehicle use, over-spill car parks, and pedestrian walkways.

When installing turf reinforcement mesh, it is essential that the plastic mesh should be laid down to give enough time for the grass roots to intertwine with the plastic mesh filaments (E.g. early spring). usually a few months is required. The reinforced grass / turf are will soon resume its natural appearance with the turf reinforcement mesh dissapearing below the surface of the grass providing a stable surface that will withstand the weight of light vehicles and heavy pedestrian use.
Turf reinforcement mesh is ideal for :

• Over spill grass carparks
• Pedestrian grassed walkways / wheelchair access routes



A full installation procedure is shown below:

Supplied in 2m wide x 30m long rolls, it can provide excellent turf reinforcement if used and fixed as directed.

Installation on Existing Grassed areas

1. Fill any depressions with a 70:30 mixture of sharp sand and topsoil, level and firm. Cut grass short.

2. Unroll the Turf reinforcement mesh and fix one end using our metal U-Pins. Pull taut, and pin approx. every 1m either side of the mesh ensuring mesh lies flat to surface.

3. Lay adjacent turf reinforcement net rolls next to the fixed mesh rolls and overlap at least 150mm and repeat the fixing process.

4. Secure overlaps and all external edges every 1 metre.

5. When you are satisfied that the mesh is laid flat and securely, brush a dressing of good quality sandy topsoil over the mesh. Ensure that the mesh filaments are covered and the apertures are filled. This will help promote root growth around the mesh.

6. Any areas that have been levelled with sandy topsoil should be seeded.

7. Pedestrians and traffic should be kept off the treated areas until the grass has become fully established over the mesh. This usually takes at least one growing season.

8. Initial mowing can be done, but set mowers to cut fairly high, so that contact with the mesh is not made. When the grass is established and the roots are entwined with the mesh, the grass can be cut normally.

Newly Sown Areas

1. Ensure that the surface is level, filling any uneven areas with a mixture of sharp sand and topsoil. Remove any debris / stones or rocks.

2. Thoroughly prepare the surface and firm.

3. Continue with Points 2-8 as above
