Founded in 2009 by Bertrand Picard, Natural Grass is a key player in premium hybrid turf for top tier European professional football clubs and rugby clubs. Natural Grass provides turnkey projects with a wide range of customized solutions to its sports and landscaping customers. The Group is now present across the entire value chain, from technology development to substrate manufacturing, pitch design, engineering construction as well as field maintenance.
