Functional transformation of a front yard lawn into a beautiful and stabilized gravel area with reduced maintenance. More and more often it happens that classically designed front gardens are replaced by beautifully designed rock gardens, gravel and gravel surfaces. Besides decorative reasons, the functional reasons of gravel surfaces are usually also convincing. No lawn mowing, no ruts, no driveways, no mud in the rainy season, very good drainage, easy and low maintenance.
The initial situation in this customer project was to first remove the sod in the front yard and driveway area. In the next operation, the topsoil was excavated and a compacted load-bearing crushed stone sub-base was constructed.
A levelling layer of fine chippings was then placed on top of the crushed stone sub-base. The laying of the Gravel Grid KG30 could then begin. Laying the Gravel Grid is very simple and very fast. Gravel Grid, connect them and, if necessary, fit them in by cutting, grinding, sawing or separating. And if there is nothing else available, the Gravel Grid can also be cut from plastic in the area of the microperforated base plate with household scissors or side cutters.
Finally, only the Gravel Grid had to be filled / backfilled with gravel. Alternatively, the Gravel Grid can be filled with decorative gravel, crushed stone or chippings. Grain sizes between 5 mm and 20 mm have proven to be ideal. We recommend covering the Gravel Grid with approx. 1 - 2 cm of gravel to protect the Gravel Grid from direct contact loads and UV rays.
