TurfRise™ Growth Covers
Support faster establishment and protect turf in every season. TurfRise™ Growth Covers are purpose built to help grounds staff, turf professionals and commercial landscapers maximise turf performance throughout the year.
Engineered to encourage accelerated germination and deeper root strength, TurfRise™ Growth Covers combine protection, airflow and thermal balance to help extend growing windows and assist turf recovery whenever conditions demand.
Advanced Technology
TurfRise™ Growth Covers utilise a proprietary polypropylene mesh engineered by Bartlett to support reliable turf performance. Constructed from a blend of black and clear monofilament, the fabric helps create a balanced growing environment. Dark fibres assist with heat retention to warm the soil profile, while the clear fibres allow natural light to reach the turf surface. The fully permeable mesh lets rainfall and irrigation pass through freely, reducing surface pooling and maintaining even moisture levels. The result is improved germination, healthier root establishment and consistent growth across both cool and warm conditions.
Commercial Sizes Built for Real Turf Operations
Pictured is a 20m x 10m configuration, TurfRise™ Commercial covers are engineered for professional turf environments including stadiums, golf courses, racetracks and other high performance surfaces. Custom commercial covers come standard with reinforced webbing drag handles, hemmed outer edges and perimeter eyelets positioned at 2m intervals for secure anchoring. Eyelet spacing and additional handles can also be customised to suit different handling methods, anchoring systems or site requirements.

Our Expertise
Bartlett manufactures from high-quality technical fabrics in Texas USA. TurfRise™ Growth Covers are made using an exclusive woven mesh developed by Bartlett specifically for turf and lawn care applications. This custom mesh balances breathability, warmth and durability. All grass covers are manufactured in our Johnson City, Texas facility, ensuring consistent quality and fast turnaround on custom sizes.
Independent Data Supporting Faster Establishment
Independent agronomic testing confirmed TurfRise™ accelerates early growth and establishment performance. Objective measurements showed up to 67% greater turf height during early development and root systems up to 90% deeper than a competing cover. Higher NDVI plant health scores and stronger canopy development were consistently recorded throughout the trial period. The data reinforces TurfRise™ Commercial as an effective solution for turf managers seeking faster germination, stronger establishment and earlier return-to-play outcomes.
Custom Made or Standard Sizes
TurfRise™ Growth Covers for commercial applications are manufactured to order, allowing each cover to be tailored to the specific requirements of the project or venue. Most commercial customers specify custom dimensions to suit field layouts, renovation zones or targeted turf recovery areas, with consideration often given to irrigation pop ups and existing surface infrastructure. Covers are produced with reinforced webbing drag handles, hemmed edges and perimeter eyelets as standard, with optional handle placement or alternative eyelet spacing available to suit operational preferences.

Independently Tested Performance Data
Independently evaluated at Caulfield Racecourse following renovation and ryegrass overseeding, TurfRise™ delivered faster early establishment under real racetrack conditions. Six days after seeding, canopy cover reached 10.5%, delivering 203% greater coverage than a competing cover. Higher NDVI plant health readings and stronger early canopy development were recorded during the critical establishment phase. For venues managing race tracks and elite turf surfaces, the independent results demonstrate measurable gains where recovery speed and surface readiness matter most.

TurfRise™ Growth Covers are specially engineered to help groundskeepers, turf managers and professional landscapers get the most out of their grass during the cooler months, or speed turf recovery through the summer season. Designed to promote rapid seed germination and strong root development, TurfRise™ offers the perfect blend of protection, breathability, and thermal performance to extend the growing season and enhance turf recovery.
