Turf for Sport Facilities

• We offer sport turf (DIN 18035). As turf experts, we are ready to advise any interested sports club. Our turf leads to home strong footfall.
• We also deliver thick sod (3.5 - 4 cm thick) for the renovation of goalie boxes (each slab at 60 cm x 80 cm). Your football pitch can be played on immediately.
• Our turf has already been installed at sport facilities in Aue, Leipzig, Oschatz, Remptengrün near Plauen, Beilrode, Süptitz, Torgau, Gera, Rotkreuz, Hohenmölsen, Stendal, Aken, Nürtingen near Stuttgart, Tenero (Schwitzerland), Oschersleben, Berlin Mariendorf, the rugby stadium Weißensee and in the sport schools of Cologne and Cottbus.

Turf for Public Parks and Castle Terraces

• Turf is ideal for public parks. The area turns green at once, avoiding long waiting for seeds to sprout.
• We received a silver medal for our turf at the IGA 2003 in Rostock. There, we installed a total of 44,000 m² of turf in only 4 weeks.
• You can enjoy a picnic on our turf outside the German parliament in Berlin, in the Great Garden in Dresden, the garden of Hradcany Castle in Prague or on the terraces of Castle Wackerbarth.

Turf is Protecting the Environment

• Newest research shows that installing turf on dykes is ideal to protect them from floods. In 2004, turf, fibre mats and grass seeds were installed along the river Elbe. Four weeks later, a further flood occurred which allows you to make a direct comparison between the use of turf and other means of proctection.
• Our turf is also extremely well suited for ecological renaturation of water retention areas.

Turf after floods: the dyke is protected already 4 weeks after turf installation and little waste accumulates.
Fibre mats after floods: the dyke is protected but large amounts of rubbish accumulate.	Grass seeds after floods: upto 30 cm of soil erosion.

Turfed Tram Lines

• We have already installed turfed tram lines in Dresden Neustadt, Leipzig, Chemnitz and Erfurt.
• In 2004/05, we have conducted extensive tests in cooperation with Dresdner Verkehrsbetrieben (Dresden's public transport organisation) and Dresden's University of Applied Science in order to develop a grass seed mixture with improved heat resistence in summer. The new mixture contains a larger proportion of sheep's fescue and has been applied since 2006.

Design of Private Gardens

• Specifically for private house owners, we offer individual design starting from the idea. We can put the finished design into reality while implementing your personal imagination.
• We have already designed a diverse range of private gardens and parks in commercial and residential areas including at the financial center in Erfurt, IKEA Dresden, McDonalds in Merseburg and Burghausen, as well as in residential areas in Delitzsch, Bad Düben, Merseburg, Dresden and hotel grounds in Bitterfeld, Wolfsburg and Engelau.

Reed beds for local water purification

Since 1994, the waste water from our company buildings is purified completely biologically by means of a self-installed reed bed and then reused for irrigation. Since then, this installation operates all year round with purification performances of up to 99% even in winter.

5-7 m² of phragmite reed bed (depending on the number of residents) ensure the complete degradation of all pollutants and germs in the waste water. The purified water is clear, odourless and practically drinkable.

The 60 cm deep bed is filled with recycling material, particularly with red brick 10/56. The porous nature of the gravel bed is thereby combined with the high sorption of the pond soil bed.

Input and output links are constructed in such a way that the water can be piped in and out within the carrier material which guarantees absolute odourlessness and frost resistance even at -20 degrees C.

The installation of pre-cultivated phragmite coir matting allows an immediate high purification performance. The rhizomes of the phramite reed, which are filled with air, enable the development of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in a small space which carry out the complete degradation of pollutants all year round.

A large quantity of water evaporates through the reed leaves. The remaining purified water can be reused for irrigation as part of an adequate soil treatment. Therefore, no pollutants and no waste water enter the receiving water or ground water and the reed bed represents an environmentally valuable wet biotope.

According to our model, we have built more than 25 reed beds since 1995, which all work correctly and cost-effectively. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to discharge waste water into the central waste water system, particularly in sparsely populated areas and on individual properties.
