GRASS PAVING GRIDS
Whether you are looking to creating a whole new driveway or simply wish to convert the front lawn area so that you have an additional parking area for occasional use, but would like it to look good the remainder of the time, grass paving grid systems are an excellent choice. They offer a reinforced grass area or overspill car park/driveway, which ensures permeability by allowing rainwater to soak back into the land below.
As the Government has outlined that ”planning permission is now required to lay traditional impermeable driveways that allow uncontrolled runoff of rainwater from front gardens onto roads, because this can contribute to flooding and pollution of watercourses”, these paving grids offer a wonderful alternative to traditional block paving driveways.
Grassguard from Marshalls offers the benefits of a driveway while retaining the garden look. A permeable grass grid for domestic hardstanding areas providing a sustainable alternative to traditional block paving, maintaining the environmental benefits of a natural grassed area.
Grasspark from Pavestone offers the same system with a slightly different design. This product is a permeable paving grid which allows the grass to grow through whilst providing hard standing suitable for parking cars and vans, yet at the same time keeping the area essentially grassland.
