Grass Concrete Ltd explain the growing trend for soft green landscapes on what was traditionally hard landscapes
Converting traditional hard landscaped car parks 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 or on extensions to existing car parks, developers are enjoying a bigger green envelope by adopting grass paving car parks.
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.
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.
For car parking areas big or small developers have options of cast-on site concrete, pre-cast concrete or plastic systems.
For regular trafficked areas where regular or heavy duty vehicles can be expected, Grasscrete offers cast on-site, with massive structural integrity with deep soil pockets to establish the best possible grass coverage.
When cast on-site is not an option, Grassblock provides easy install precast blocks. Only when traffic is to a minimum would a plastic option like Grassroad be considered in secondary parking areas only.
Wakefield based Grass Concrete Ltd and the proven Grasscrete product has become the generic name for permeable grass paving with over forty years of installations.
