TURF GROWTH COVERS WITH MULTIPLE BENEFITS.
Evergreen™ turf growth covers are a world-renowned, patented management tool used year-round in football, rugby, horse racing, golf and cricket. By regulating temperature and moisture, these covers deliver rapid germination and deep root development across the playing surface.
Lightweight and uniquely constructed, our turf growth covers let ground staff deploy and remove large areas quickly and practically. They also reduce running costs of stadium grow lights and under-soil heating systems, cutting both labour and carbon footprint.
Buy Evergreen™ direct and manage your own recovery programme, or bring in our team, who select and manage whatever protection is right for your pitch, forecast and goal. Evergreen™ is often part of that solution, but our Pitch R&R service isn’t tied to one product; it’s built around the outcome.
TURF GROWTH COVER MATERIAL & DESIGN
The translucent properties of the patented polyethylene material include that it is UV treated, rot and mildew resistant and thereby does not show significant wear or degradation by sunlight after years of regular use.
THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT FOR TURF GROWTH
The Evergreen™ produces the ideal growth environment maintaining a healthy balance of air, water, heat and sunlight to promote rapid seed germination, deep root development and incubate soil temperature.
A VERSATILE TURF GROWTH COVER FOR ANY VENUE
Our turf growth cover range includes 4 options – Original, Premium, Spectrum and Radiant, each suited to a specific requirement, whether that’s germination, frost protection or energy saving on under-soil heating.
LIGHTWEIGHT & EASY
The Evergreen™ is lightweight, transportable and easy to handle. It does not absorb water thereby not adding to its weight during periods of irrigation or cold weather.

EVERGREEN™ Turf Growth Covers In Action
HOW OUR TURF GROWTH COVERS WORK
Evergreen™ turf growth covers let air, water and heat flow freely, warming the soil to boost root growth and speed up seed germination. Excess heat escapes through the patented venting system, keeping conditions perfectly balanced for accelerated, healthy turf growth.
The Magic Of Evergreen
When an Evergreen™ cover is placed on turf, a greenhouse effect is created underneath the cover. This provides an ideal growth environment.
MATERIAL AND DESIGN
Each cover is uniquely woven to be both permeable as well as protective. The covers are UV treated, rot and mildew resistant and will not show any significant wear or degradation by sunlight
COVER DISK
The optional Cover Disk allows for more secure anchoring of Evergreen™ covers in high wind conditions when used with the included anchor pegs.
SMART EDGE TECHNOLOGY
The cover will not pull apart in the middle, providing protection against turf damage.
INSTALLATION
Evergreen™ is very lightweight and easy to handle. It can be removed quickly with very few people and will not absorb water, which adds weight.
ANCHOR PEGS
Evergreen™ covers are easily secured by simply folding the outside edge and pushing the anchor pegs through. Highly visible pink coated anchor pegs
SMART EDGE TECHNOLOGY™
Only Evergreen™ features the groundbreaking SMART EDGE TECHNOLOGY™. Its patented lace coating gives the cover strength and durability, no hems, no grommets needed. The cover won’t tear in the middle, providing superior protection against turf damage. Unlike tightly woven covers that restrict airflow, Evergreen®’s lace coating allows just the right amount of ventilation.
With SMART EDGE TECHNOLOGY™, Evergreen™ is the most versatile turf cover available. Resize it, and the edges remain reinforced and durable. Custom-fit it around goal posts, sprinkler heads, track edges, and more. Anchor pegs can go anywhere, no longer limited to fixed grommet positions.
Tear-Resistant
The cover won’t pull apart, protecting turf from damage.
Ventilated
Unlike tightly woven covers, it allows optimal airflow.
FAQs
How does a turf growth cover work to speed up germination?
Evergreen™ creates a greenhouse effect by allowing sunlight, air, water and heat to reach the surface while retaining the soil temperature, accelerating root development and seed germination.
How long should a turf growth cover stay on the pitch?
Typically several days at a time depending on weather, growth rates and maintenance schedules before being temporarily removed for inspections or mowing. The benefit of Evergreen™ is the breathability, the promotion of light and warmth allows it to be deployed for lengthy periods of time and improve conditions.
Will an Evergreen™ cover damage grass if left on too long?
No, provided it is managed correctly. The breathable woven construction allows airflow while periodic removal for mowing and inspections maintains grass health.
Can Evergreen™ covers be used alongside grow lights or under-soil heating?
Yes. They complement both systems by improving heat retention, reducing operating costs and enhancing growing conditions.
How often should the cover be removed for mowing or sunlight exposure?
This depends on weather and growth rates, but covers should be removed periodically for mowing, inspections and routine maintenance.
