If you want instant gratification, sod it. Cut squares to fit the cells and lay them in. You’ll have your green drive done by sundown. Unless you live in Seattle or the Gulf Coast where you get regular gully washers, choose a drought-tolerant variety such as buffalo grass so you don’t negate the eco-friendly paver drive by putting hundreds of gallons of water on it to keep it alive. Other good grasses that can stand up to two tons of steel driving on them are zoysia, Bermuda, St. Augustine, and ornamental sedge. Plastic permeable pavers are ready to use immediately after installation, and can even be driven on before the installation is even finished. Adding more concrete to an area takes away the beauty of nature but grass pavers allows you to keep vegetation and more. Not only can grass grow through the plastic pavers, you can also cut the grid to wrap around trees and bigger plants that can’t be replanted. You also get to add more vegetation but also save living plants. No need to risk your 80-year-old live oak. The best way to grow the grass is to sprinkle seeds into the cells. It’s the slowest way to get the grass, as growing from seed always is, but your grass will have deeper root systems and be hardier.

Our eco500 grass fill model is one of our most popular 50x50x4cm sized grids. They are suitable for various domestic to light industrial surface reinforcement applications. The permeable open cell structure design of the eco500 grass fill allows for soil and grass seed infill providing an extremely neat and compact stable surface finish. The eco500 grass fill grids open cell structure also prevents lateral and downward migration and disruption of the soil and seed whilst its in its growing phase. Once the grass is established it knits in and around the cell-like structure of the grid resulting in an extremely strong, durable reinforced surface. Traffic can ride on a combination of both the grid and the underlying ground therefore preventing the ground from churning. The eco500 grass fill model is also part of our permeable paving range as it complies with the s.u.d.s. Regulations, (sustainable urban drainage solutions). Novaplas Grassrings® are also used for erosion control in high flow channels and on slopes. Grassrings are made in Australia by Novaplas Group from 100% recycled materials. The grass paving panels simply clip together and are very easy to install, even if you are a DIY home handyman. Where can I use Grassrings Grass Reinforcement ? Refill the Enduragrid area with pea gravel (typically ~10mm diameter), wood chippings, other aggregate or soil. Optionally you can seed with grass if soil is used. GD Grass 60-40, features a unique lateral drainage system that allows water to move horizontally through the grid just below the surface. GD Grass 50-35 is ideal for most homeowner applications, while our GD Grass 60-40 is ideal for commercial settings. The unique design of GD Grass 60-40 provides lateral drainage capability, allowing the water to move horizontally through the grids, just below the surface. The next job was to begin installing the X-Grid®. They laid 4 panels at a time starting in one corner working their way across the full area simply attaching each piece together as they went along thanks to X-Grid®’s specially designed slot and peg system. This was a simple process once they had got the hang of laying the grids.

This allows stormwater to permeate evenly across the entire surface, protecting the turf from unnecessary erosion and providing even, consistent growth. Applications Heat Island LID - Reduce and mitigate urban heat island effects with this cool low-impact development practice. Our grass protection grid panel system has been uniquely designed for use with aggregates, soil and for grass seed. What can you expect from Gridforce? As compared to other materials that may be used to surface driveways, gravel is easy to instyall and maintain. Although it may require top dressing after some time, the cost cannot be compared to repairing a concrete or asphalt surface. Gravel surface can withstand very harsh conditions that can easily damage asphalt and concrete driveways. As a result, the cost of maintaining gravel driveways is cheaper as compared to any other material that may be used on driveways.

For areas that get a lot of traffic, 14-20mm angular chippings are the most common filling for the driveway grids. This is because, not only do the chippings bed down to provide a stable surface, they are also big enough to avoid migration in the tread of the tyres of large vehicles. Here are some of the reasons why grass driveways are gaining popularity in 2022: Better stormwater drainage If you are looking for support grids for permeable paving, you can choose from our Eco500 Grass Fill and Ecopark 40MM Grass Fill grid models. Tim and Janet’s X-Grid® arrived with them just 3 working days later via courier delivery and they could begin their installation immediately. Have a look at these beautifully designed driveways to get an idea of what you want yours to look like.Grass can be planted or seeded and the roots get protected by the grid. After rain, the Ecogrid allow water to gradually absorb into the soil below. To me, this is really the perfect solution for someone who needs an extra parking space but doesn’t want to put down more tar or cement. It’s great for visitor parking too… and if we had a camper van or a motorhome – this would be perfect.
