Can a 28 ton fire truck drive across your soaking wet natural turf? Your turf is likely to rut and tear, never to recover. Natural turf can be used for high traffic parking, driveway, fire lane, and event areas by simply adding more roots. StaLok Fiber is a synthetic fiber that mimics a natural grass root. The fiber stabilizes the root zone underneath, so the turf on top can withstand impact. Many fibers intertwined with the grass roots creates a network. With the fiber’s flexible strength multiplied across the network, impact can be spread- increasing the turf’s load bearing capacity.

Enjoy the beauty of natural turf. The network’s strength is activated upon impact- no need for any rigid structures that get in the way. The strength is there when a impact occurs, so there is no need for plastic forms that wear down from freezing and thawing.

Sure, the network makes the surface stronger, but will the grass look good? StaLok Fiber actually increases strength and pore space. It is like a hammock: strands of rope intertwined can support your weight, even with spaces between the strands. More pore space means proper drainage and air filled porosity, so your turf can grow properly and recover from stress quickly. Go ahead and design that place that can be taken over by any group who wants it: sport, event or vehicle. Your turf can take the traffic and still look great.
