Grass Paver RGS35 for an additional car parking space on grass

The aim of this customer project was to create an additional parking space on an existing lawn in the front garden as cost-effectively, quickly and easily as possible. For the decision-making process, various options were considered by our customer. The decision was made in favor of the Grass Paver RGS35 made of plastic and against a Grass Paver made of concrete or paving stone.

First, a lane of grass pavers was laid on the lawn for each axle side of the vehicle. It is advisable to take into account the distance between the vehicle axles and to align the Grass Paver with a guide line to achieve a straighter and nicer result.

In the next work step, the Grass Grid were gradually hammered into the ground by our customer using a plastic hammer (alternatively rubber hammer) and a board. According to the customer, this worked very well because the topsoil was nice and soft.

However, we recommend using either a small hand tamper or a vibrating plate. Especially when it comes to slightly larger areas or the topsoil is a bit firmer.

Another tip: It is better to lay two rows of Grass Paver per axle side, so that you can also steer sometimes without running the risk of damaging the lawn in the process. Likewise, the entry area should be made somewhat wider in order to have a little more room for steering movements when approaching the area.

The reasons for the decision are easy to understand, because in a direct comparison of the solutions you will quickly realize that you save money and time with the Grass Paver plastic.

• Earthworks are not necessary
• Substructure not absolutely necessary
• Low dead weight
• Easy to lay
• Direct laying on the lawn
• Immediately loadable after laying
• Can be extended as required

Another advantage of the plastic lawn grid stone compared to a Grass Paver on concrete becomes immediately visible in high summer. The Grass Paver made of open-pored concrete heats up and extracts liquid from the surrounding soil due to the strong heat absorption and storage. The result is reduced plant growth to the point of parched soil and lawns.

The plastic of the grass pavers does not absorb moisture and heats up much less than its concrete counterpart. The effects are correspondingly mitigated in midsummer.
