A high-performance grass root zone reinforcing system that allows the formation of natural grassed surfaces with the strength and durability to carry occasional vehicular traffic.

Advanced Turf System includes:

A layer of ABG BT1 sandy loam grown turf
A 100, 150 or 200 mm thick layer of ABG Advanced Turf ATS400/B Netlon Mesh Element reinforced root zone

- Where no sub-base layer is required:

ABG Terrex NW9 Geotextile, placed over any aggregate filled drainage trenches installed within the existing formation/ subgrade soil
A structurally sound, free-draining or pipe-drained, lightly cultivated and re-consolidated subgrade soil formation layer

- Additionally where a porous sub-base is required for SuDS applications:

A layer of free-draining, open-graded sub-base such as DoT Type 1 X, DoT Type 3, or a reduced-fines Type 4/40 stone or similar approved ‘reduced-fines’ sub-base material
Optional layers of Geogrid, Geotextile or Geomembrane placed on top of the subgrade formation, according to the specification requirements

- Additionally where a non-SuDS (DoT Type 1) sub-base construction is used:

A layer of DoT Type 1 sub-base, provided with a drainage system
The edges of the reinforced ABG Advanced Turf layer can be retained with concrete kerbs or timber edging, or by simply leaving a 45° battered edge to the compacted ATS root zone layer where it will abut an adjacent grassed area
ABG Advanced Turf Access Routes can be delineated using kerbs, bollards, marker posts, trees or shrubs.

Features and benefits:

Attractive, natural grass surface
High load bearing capacity
Resists rutting and compaction
Rapid surface drainage
Provides source control for Sustainable Drainage (SuDS)
