Up until the 1960’s, natural grass was the only surface material available for an athletic field. Since then, and up until fairly recently, there have only been two choices: natural grass or artificial turf. Thus, for about a half of a century, the choice has been limited to one or the other, and neither surface material was or is perfect, as both have strengths and weaknesses. Because people want to have their cake and eat it too, people dreamed of having a surface material that had only strengths and no weaknesses. It was inevitable that surface materials would evolve, and a hybrid surface material would emerge: POWERgrass™ Reinforced Natural Grass - Hybrid Turf System. It was fully developed in 2011, and its origins date back to 1999.

Inspired to fulfill the dream of having an innovative, alternative, and superior choice of surface material for athletic fields, Dr. Niko Sarris, PhD agronomist, set out to develop just such a surface material for use anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. Combining practical experience and science, Dr. Sarris and his well-rounded team of experts combined the very best characteristics of natural grass and artificial turf. The result is POWERgrass™ Hybrid Turf - The Reinforced Natural Grass System, which is mostly natural grass with the right amount of synthetic material included. It is conceptually analogous to reinforced concrete, which is mostly concrete with the right amount of steel included. In both cases, the resulting hybrid combination of materials creates powerful advantages that no single material can match on its own.
