Domo® Sports Grass believes strongly in the importance of having a high-quality foundation on which to lay the artificial grass. A good foundation and, depending on the quality, an appropriate sand fill for the artificial grass result in a high-quality pitch that requires little maintenance, is safe for the players and can be played on at all times.
The essential requirements for a good foundation are stability for good compressive strength, porosity for good frost resistance and levelness Grass mat with sand-fill for perfect playability. Porous concrete or asphalt
The structure of a pitch must always be tailored to the specific soil conditions of the region.
