Hybrid Grass
Official GrassMax Systems Partner – India
Natural play, reinforced with the world’s leading hybrid turf technology
Hybrid grass is a natural turf surface strengthened with in-situ stitched synthetic fibres. Using GrassMax’s world-leading hybrid stitching system, millions of high-tenacity fibres are anchored below the root zone, allowing natural roots to grow around them and create a durable, stable, reinforced composite. The result is a natural pitch that delivers increased playing hours, improved stability, and outstanding shear resistance.
ST&GE Pvt. Ltd. brings GrassMax’s globally proven system to India, delivering hybrid pitches used by elite clubs and international stadiums.

GrassMax Hybrid Stitching Technology
GrassMax uses a 100% in-situ stitching process where fibres are inserted directly into the soil using advanced GPS-guided machines. This creates a precise vertical reinforcement grid that integrates perfectly with the natural rootzone.
Key features include:
- Deep stitching depth ensuring long-term stability.
- High-strength fibre yarn designed to withstand heavy wear.
- Perfect anchorage zone promoting root integration.
- Consistent spacing and density achieved through computer-controlled equipment.
Why Choose Grassmax Hybrid Grass
Natural Playability
GrassMax’s stitching system reinforces natural turf without compromising its natural playing characteristics.
High Carrying Capacity
Hybrid reinforcement supports heavy use, enabling significantly more playing hours compared to traditional natural grass pitches.
Divot & Shear Resistance
Stitched fibres anchor the root system, increasing traction and reducing surface damage during play.
Durability & Stability
Hybrid grass maintains grip, integrity, and consistency even under intense usage conditions.
Perfect Root Development
High-tenacity fibres support strong root anchorage, enabling deep and healthy root growth.
Weather Resilience
Better profile stability in wet or shoulder seasons.
Lifecycle Value
Longer intervals between heavy renovations; predictable maintenance.
Safe & Consistent
Traction and hardness kept within preferred ranges.
