THE FIRST NATURAL
GRASS FIELD SUPPORTED
OVER ARTIFICIAL TURF
A FIELD WITH A CAVITY WALL
STRONGER AND MORE RESISTANT
MORE COMFORTABLE AND SAFER
REQUIRES LESS MAINTENANCE
YOU LIVE ON A GRASS FIELD.
YOU WIN AND LOSE. YOU LAUGH
AND CRY. YOU DREAM. YOU
EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST
EMOTIONS AND THE MOST
DISAPPOINTING DEFEATS.
WE BUILD THIS KIND OF
PLACES.
We are professionals, specialists in grass.
We provide quality, because we use the best available
materials.
We key on design, because every project is unique.
We innovate by developing the best systems.
We have gained credibility through a safety work
based in our experience.
Since Palau Turf was founded in 2003 our mission
has been:
š To design, build and preserve sports grass fields.
š To work with the highest market technological
value.
š To focus in the health of the athlete and in the
maintenance of the natural environment.
WE CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE.
OUR SECRET IS TO STAY IN CONSTANT
MOTION.
We always move forward, because we know we
can improve by giving every day our best effort. We
work hard in having at our disposal the ultimate
technological resources to improve in our production
process of manufacturing and installing our
products.
We keep working in innovation to make sure the
results we achieve reach you. We want to show
you the things we are capable of doing, so your
confidence on us grows rapidly.
We work non-stop to offer you the most innovative
systems, guaranteeing a high quality level.
In our R & D department we research:
š The maintenance and constant improvement of
grass adaptation to weather conditions.
š The way fields impact athletes’ achievements, so
we can design fields with better biomechanical
conditions.
š The use of bio-fertilizers to grow the grass,
protecting it from fungicidal diseases.
WE HAVE A CLEAR GOAL: TO GIVE
ALWAYS OUR BEST EFFORT.
“Everybody in the NFL,
from the players to
the media, were very
impressed with the
quality of the work done
by Joan Palau and all his
team”

WE OFFER YOU A UNIQUE
SPORTS FIELD.
YOU MAKE IT AMAZING.
Palau Hybrid’s grass combines the best of natural grass and
artificial turf, using an innovating system to offer a unique a
resilient paying surface.
This is the only hybrid system that includes an elastic layer
so the ground does not compact.
Stronger and more resistant
The field is always even and resilient, but the grass grows
vigorously. Roots are protected by the artificial turf basement
and the elastic layer avoids the compacting of the ground.
THE GRASS DOES NOT PULL OUT AND RESISTS
MUCH MORE PLAYING TIME
More comfortable and safer
It reduces the players’ workload during practice sessions and
games, protecting them from the risk of injury.
IT REDUCES FATIGUE
Requires less maintenance
The system incorporates an insulating layer right below the
artificial turf, which allows the roots to breath and prevents
the field from plagues.
PROTECTION AGAINST INSECTS AND FUNGUS
“Palau Hybrid solved all our problems. Before, playing at our field
two months into the season was a nightmare. Now, we enjoy natural
grass for many hours, even under the rain”.
Jordi Soler
Technical Director of soccer club C.F. Avià
THE ADVANTAGE
IS ON YOUR SIDE!
ADVANTAGES FOR PLAYERS AND COACHES:
More hours of playing time.
By playing on a flat field, the body stays balanced.
The field is safer and minimizes the risk of injury by reducing the players’
workload.
The game is more precise as the ball bounces correctly on a flat and firm
playing surface.
ADVANTAGES FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES:
Airing is not needed.
Eliminates the attack of plagues from insects that generally grow on the ground.
Because of having an aired field and less organic matter, it reduces the
fungicidal diseases.
Excellent drainage.
Does not need to be repaired and the grass does not need to be changed.
REASONS FOR CHOOSING
PALAU HYBRID
PALAU HYBRID
NATURAL GRASS
It can be changed from natural grass to artificial turf
and vice versa
Only natural grass
It can be used 25 hours per week (more than 3 times
than natural grass)
Fewer hours of playing time
Better drainage – better playing conditions under rain
or snow
Problems to play under bad weather conditions:
rain, snow…
Surface never turns into mud because of excessive use
Grass is lost because of excessive use
Roots do not pool out during a game
Pools out by the roots
It could be lined permanently (saves on paint)
It only allows paint for lining the field
More uniformed elasticity (due to the cavity wall)
Continuous compressing, irregular areas
No airing is required
It must be aired often
The hydroponic layer always delivers oxygen
There is no hydroponic layer
The hydroponic layer prevents fungicidal diseases
There is no hydroponic layer
The insulating weave prevents insects and animals
from going to the root zone
There is no insulating weave
Standardized temperature for cold and hot weather
It easily gains and loses temperature
Less watering is needed due to the standardization of
temperature
High levels of watering are needed
We have already started to export this system internationally. Currently we are present
in Asia, Russia, America and the Scandinavian countries. Palau Hybrid has also been
evaluated by Nordic ISA Sport, credited by FIFA, recording excellent results. The system is
approved to be used in official competitions.
“It is the best solution for Nordic countries. Now, we can play in natural grass
during our tough winter season. IIn Sweden, it is becoming more and more
popular. Coaches and players love it”.

HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?
Natural grass
Artificial turf fibers + backing
Filled with sand + specific mix
Selective insulating weave
Elastic layer
Natural grass roots
Sand subsoil + specific mix
Natural grass: It is seeded from 1 to 4 inches above the artificial turf. Roots run through
the backing, providing a very strong anchorage.
Artificial turf: Protects the natural grass fibers, absorbing the load and protecting soil to
come out protecting soil to come out. It reduces the maintenance work.
Selective insulating weave + elastic layer: The elastic layer protects the natural grass
roots, prevents players’ injuries and creates a cavity wall. The insulating weave prevents
the sand inside the elastic layer from coming out, avoids the reproduction of insects and
animals and standardizes the temperature.
Sand subsoil: Roots grow strongly until reaching a 10-inch size. This way they absorb
more water and nutrients, improving their resistance and their recovery capability
IT ASSURES MANY MORE HOURS OF PLAYING TIME AND LESS
MAINTENANCE THAN NATURAL GRASS.
We can also implement natural grass and artificial turf systems.
TRUSTING PALAU TURF IS A VERY INTELLIGENT AND
RELIABLE INVESTMENT.
