Reinforced Permeable Grass Paving for Driveways and Parkings
If you’re planning to install a new driveway or parking lot, odds are you’ve considered using gravel, tarmac, concrete, or pavers to do the job. These materials are all effective, but they have some serious downsides for the environment. Solid materials such as tarmac, concrete, and even pavers can hinder the absorption of surface waters during heavy rains, creating challenges in storm water management and erosion prevention. In hot weather tarmac and concrete absorb and radiate heat back into the surrounding environment causing heat island effect. The list goes on and on. Instead of working around negative side effects, why not start with a greener paving material? We partnered with Architek and Purus Plastics EcoRaster to provide you with a solution that has proven to be versatile, effective, and above all – environmentally responsible!Pre-Grown Grass Pavers
Grass Pavers are an innovative new product being used in building projects throughout North America and Europe. They’re a permeable paving system created by installing an interlocking grid of plastic ‘pavers.’ These are then filled with soil and seeded with grass to create the final surface. With the strength of pavement and the natural beauty of grass, grassy pavers are an ideal solution for creating drives and parking lots with a low environmental impact. Benefits of using Grass Pavers:- Improves local air quality, as the grass naturally traps dust, pollen, and other debris
- Allows surface waters to soak into the subsoil, reducing stormwaters while naturally filtering out pollutants
- Reduces the heat island effect in urban areas
