Spanish term or phrase: Tepe rollos o planchas
Hi everyone,

I'm currently translating a text about the use of wood in the construction of an eco-friendly trade fair stand. I have come across the following:

El suelo del stand será de césped natural (precultivado en Tepe rollos o planchas).

Is anyone able to help me with the translation of 'Tepe rollos o planchas?'

Best regards

Jack

Explanation:
Los tepes son rollos o planchas de tierra con césped natural de alta calidad, extraídos de la plantación con maquinas especiales, para su posterior instalación en jardines.


Sod comes in squares or in thick rolls that can be unrolled and placed over your yard like a grass carpet

Example sentence(s):
  • The soil of your yard must be prepared so that the sod carpet can take root. Otherwise the grass sod will die as it sits on your yard.
