When I think of old gravel driveways, I used to think of potholes, ruts and mud, but now there’s an easy Green solution for driveways! Before EcoGrid was invented if you parked your car on grass it meant you would soon have a muddy mess. Now there’s a simple way to fix up mud issues and park your car on a green lawn – without damaging the look. While gravel looks great when installed in driveways, if not installed using gravel driveway grids, the particles begin to migrate to the neighboring area, including grass lawns, making the environment appear ugly. To prevent this annoying characteristic of gravel, you should consider using X-grids from MatsGrids to prevent this migration of gravel to the nearby places. These gravel grids hold the gravel particles in plastic cells, hence detaining it within the desired region. They ale add the visual appeal of the driveway. The various gravel grids from this company have been tested under great pressure, up to 350 tonnes and found to be strong enough to withstand immense pressure. You may also enhance the strength of these grids by filling them with approximately 72 Kgs/sqm of gravel, diameter 20mm. Grassrings Grass Cell is different to other products called either Turf Reinforcement Mesh or Diamond Mesh. Since these Grass Protection Mesh products are generally light duty extruded plastic, they are usually placed above the grass. After you’ve completed all the previous steps, you can now place down your choice of sod across the grid. If you want to choose another type of grass, you can opt to plant grass seed instead. Keep the area watered until the grass begins to sprout. We offer a range of grass grids made from a high strength injection-moulded plastic and materials which are 100% recycled. These products are ideal for soil ground reinforcement in domestic and industrial settings. They can also be used as a form of car parking ground supports.

Max Load Support – Enhanced load bearing ensures no rutting or soil compression with vehicle traffic, yet still 100% pervious (permeable). All of our grids are made by Injection Mold, the highest quality process available for creating rigid plastic products. Lower quality 2-part extrusion molded products that come in rolls and have non-continuous surfaces are not uniform and the plastic has the potential to separate with tire turning. GD Grass 60-40, features a unique lateral drainage system that allows water to move horizontally through the grid just below the surface. GD Grass 50-35 is ideal for most homeowner applications, while our GD Grass 60-40 is ideal for commercial settings. The unique design of GD Grass 60-40 provides lateral drainage capability, allowing the water to move horizontally through the grids, just below the surface.The next job was to begin installing the X-Grid®. They laid 4 panels at a time starting in one corner working their way across the full area simply attaching each piece together as they went along thanks to X-Grid®’s specially designed slot and peg system. This was a simple process once they had got the hang of laying the grids. Refill the Enduragrid area with pea gravel (typically ~10mm diameter), wood chippings, other aggregate or soil. Optionally you can seed with grass if soil is used. Storm Water Control – when it rains or pours the water carries the pollutants from a car straight into most drains. These drains often feed directly into the lakes and streams. When water can flow into the soil it will become naturally filtered.

Mud Control! – When water is kept draining (thanks gravity!) it will seep into the sub-base and help control mud. Gravel driveways used to form muddy spots and potholes – but by using a grid system the water flows away from the surface. No more mud! Plastic grid systems are installed and filled with gravel or sand/soil mixture and grass. These grid systems, mostly recycled plastic, prevent soil compaction and rutting, protecting water quality. They are composed of honeycomb-like grids of closed plastic cells. Concrete and grassThey began their installation by levelling and reinforcing the existing ground as well as they could to create a solid and flat sub-base on which the X-Grid® would stand. They did this by filling in the uneven parts of the existing ground with gravel and then flattening the gravel down as well as they could to ensure the grid would sit on a flat surface. Stormwater BMP – Reduces storm water runoff significantly and improves water quality with natural pollution filtration and treatment.
