What are grassy pavers good for?

September 25th, 2009

grassy paverProgressive ecological thinking has finally established itself for applications that have traditionally used solid paving.

Grassy pavers are leading the change towards the future of paving. They harmoniously blend your architecture into the landscape in an attractive, functional and environmentally responsible way.

Grassy pavers provide simple answers to the complicated problems associated with supplying functional areas, while maintaining green space and dealing with storm water management compliance.

The porosity of the pavers eliminates the need for retention ponds, drainage systems and other expensive means of dealing with runoff always associated with solid paving.

Grassy pavers are environmentally friendly. They are made from recycled plastic and allow the drainage of storm water back into the underground soil rather than into storm drains. This helps keep your property hydrated and reduces runoff into local sewer systems.

Grassy pavers provide the strength of pavement with the natural beauty of grass while simultaneously eliminating soil compaction, reducing reflective heat and allowing for all weather accessibility at a very cost effective price. Grassy pavers Turf fill or aggregate; the applications are endless.

In addition to the environmental benefits, Grasssy pavers  support over 97,000 lbs per square foot!
