HD Sports 2.0 Grown on Plastic
Installing A Playing Surface, Not Sod
HD Sports 2.0 “Lay and Play” is our 1.5” thick bluegrass sod
grown in engineered sand on plastic. This extremely durable
sod is encapsulated with roots which locks in the sand rootzone
and reinforces the 100% sand based sod.
Grown on Plastic Sod
Plastic grown sod gives you a bullet-proof playing surface immediately after
install. HD Sports 2.0 Grown on Plastic has a tight root-mass that reinforces the
sod and locks together the 100% sand based root zone. The consistent thickness
of PGS is maintained after install because the root zone does not drop sand upon
unrolling, creating a very even playing surface.
Because the sod is peeled off the plastic instead of cut with a reciprocating blade,
the sod is much stronger than convention sod and maintains all of its carbohydrate reserves stored in its root system. Total root harvest maintains moisture in
the root zone, resulting in less transplant shock, longer shelf life, and extrelly
strong sod.
Encapsulated with roots, HD Sports 2.0 has perfectly square edges, giving you
tighter seams. By not cutting the sod’s root system during harvest, the plant keeps
all of the carbohydrate reserves stored in its root system, accelerating rooting after
installation.
PGS can be installed over any flat surface to produce an instant playing surface.
Due to the strength and root mass of the sod, it can be rolled back up with no
problem. #HDSports2, #LayandPlay, #PGS
