GrassMaster
An artificial grass blade which is stitched into a rootzone to produce a reinforced pitch. It is manufactured by Tarkett Sports (Desso Sports invented this in 1998 and previously owned the brand prior to being acquired by the Tarkett Group in 2014). A Grass Master pitch is composed of high-performance polypropylene monofilament fibres (HPF), approximately 20cm in length, of which 18cm are embedded within a sand rootzone and about 2cm are exposed above the surface. They are spaced in a 2cm x 2cm grid, producing an approximate 3% coverage of artificial blades, with 97% of natural grass coverage typically being provided following seeding of the stitched pitch. The stitching can also take place into an already established grass sward. It typically takes from 1 to 2 weeks to stitch in a full-sized pitch. https://www.grassmastersolutions.com/en
