LT6 Sports

LT6 Sports turf is designed to withstand the wear and tear inflicted on sports pitches, from rugby stadiums, football pitches and training grounds, to racecourses and school pitches.

LT6 is a turf with ryegrass as the main constituent, yet with a strong presence of smoothed stalked meadow grass, valuable for wear and recovery in a difficult winter. Once in play, the fescue element will reduce allowing the smooth stalked meadow grass to increase to a level dictated by the management regime.
