Grasspave porous pavement allows you to park, drive, walk, ride, or lounge on a beautiful grass surface. It performs the functions of asphalt or concrete pavement, but with the aesthetics of a lawn – all while enhancing the environment.
Grasspave2 porous pavement is a structure which provides incredible load bearing strength while protecting vegetation root systems from deadly compaction. High void spaces within the entire cross-section enable excellent root development, and storage capacity for rainfall from storm events. For example, a 13 inch cross-section (one inch Grasspave2 with sand and a 12 inch base course) can store 2.6 inches of water - 13 inches x approx. 20% void space). Stormwater is slowed in movement through and across Grasspave2 surfaces, which deposits suspended sediment and increases time to discharge. Suspended pollutants and moderate amounts of engine oils are consumed by active soil bacteria, which are aided by the system’s excellent oxygen exchange capacity.
Our product line is flexible and adheres to undulations, freeze/thaw, and natural topographical changes in elevation. But did you know we are flexible in the horizontal as well? Our product rolls can curve slightly to fit many of your needs. Applications where slight curve may apply:
If the angle you are curving is greater or the width of the product needs to be larger, you can easily cut and reconfigure our product line. Advanced curves, reuse of pieces (for less waste), and conforming to obstacles and curbing can easily be achieved with Grasspave, Gravelpave, Slopetame and Draincore. Simply cut cut our product with pruning shears or heavy-duty scissors, shift the rolls, and re-fit pieces to conform to the site's needs. We do recommend you connect rolls to adjacent rolls with the snap-fit connector, when possible.
