Converting traditional hard landscaped drive ways into softer landscaped green space applies to both commercial car parks and domestic driveways.
Specifiers can turn those large parking areas into sustainable green vistas with sustainability built in.
With new builds developers are enjoying a bigger green envelope by the adopting grass paving for many driveways and carparking areas.
The permeability features of grass paving addresses SUDS issues where hard landscaping can provide too much run-off, whereas the more permeable grass paving mitigates surface water run-off and its implications for the local storm water network.
To achieve the green vistas, maximum and sustainable grass cover is best guaranteed by a system that promotes permeability. The depth and shape of the soil pockets therefore has a critical part to play if grass cover is to be sustained. Both Grasscrete and Grassblock offer substantial capacity for soils and root systems to promote maximum grass coverage.
When cast-on site is not an option Grassblock provides easy install precast blocks.
Wakefield based Grass Concrete Ltd has become the generic name for permeable grass paving with over forty years of installations.
