The benefits of Grass pavers

The benefits of grass pavers may vary depending on the product, installation method, and local environmental conditions. Consulting with a professional or supplier who specializes in grass pavers can provide more specific information for your particular project or application. We supply two kinds of grass pavers: Hanpave and Heavy-Duty Ground Grid.

Grass pavers, also known as turf pavers or grass reinforcement grids, offer several benefits in various applications. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Grass pavers stabilize and reinforce the soil

By doing so, they prevent erosion and reduce soil compaction. They provide a strong, interconnected surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, vehicular loads, and erosion caused by rainwater.

Grass pavers have the ability to distribute weight evenly across the surface, making them suitable for parking areas, driveways, and access roads. They can withstand the weight of vehicles without compromising the integrity of the grass or soil beneath.

2. Grass pavers help with stormwater management

They do so by allowing the soil to absorb rainwater. The open grid design of the pavers promotes water permeability, reducing runoff and the strain on drainage systems.

Grass pavers can help with stormwater management in individual households, commercial properties, and the city lands. In the City of Barrie, stormwater adds pollutants to Lake Simcoe. One of the remedies to decrease pollution is increasing permeable areas in the city. If you turn part of an impervious area in your property (like asphalt) into a permeable one (like a drivable grass area), you will help the problem. This way, you will not only solve your household's local water management problems but also input into improving the city's and Lake Simcoe's environmental health.

To motivate property owners to manage stormwater, the city plans to introduce a stormwater user fee based on impervious areas rather than funding stormwater management infrastructure through property taxes. Also, credits can be applied to properties that manage stormwater on-site.

The current funding system does not encourage or reward those that make changes to their property to reduce their impact on the stormwater system (i.e., reduce hard surfaces.) The new approach is to shift funding from property taxes to stormwater utility. The objective is to make the charge fair and equitable based on impervious areas of properties.

3. Green aesthetics created with the help of grass pavers

Grass pavers allow for the growth of vegetation while providing a stable surface. They blend well with natural surroundings and can be visually appealing, providing a green and eco-friendly alternative to traditional hardscape materials

Driveways, parking, laneways, driveway extensions, boat launches, trail retentions and many other landscaping elements created with grass pavers are durable and green,

4. Environmental benefits provided by grass pavers

Grass pavers contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting the growth of grass or other vegetation. The plants help absorb carbon dioxide, filter pollutants, and provide a habitat for beneficial insects and wildlife.

Permeable surface: Grass pavers allow water to permeate through the open grid structure, which reduces runoff and helps recharge groundwater supplies. This can be particularly beneficial in areas with limited water resources or in regions where stormwater management is a concern.

5. Grass pavers ease of installation and maintenance

Grass pavers are relatively easy to install and typically require minimal maintenance. They can be installed in various configurations to accommodate different project requirements. Routine maintenance typically involves mowing the grass, fertilizing as needed, and removing any debris that may accumulate.
