Creating a parking lot lawn using RGS35 plastic grass pavers instead of gravel. There are a variety of solutions for converting an existing lawn or meadow into a year-round, permanent parking lot. The greatest challenge is the weather, especially during the damp and wet season. The wetter the soil, the lower its load-bearing capacity. In other words, this means the lawn or meadow becomes a bumpy track with numerous dents, holes, and puddles.
Compaction also damages or destroys the grass roots, which can inevitably lead to bare, sparse, and unsightly lawns. But how do you solve this problem? With a gravel lawn? No, it's quite simple, like in this customer example with the RGS35 plastic lawn paver!
The first step involved measuring and marking the future grass parking area. The lawn was completely mowed and the topsoil loosened. (Before laying the RGS35 grass grid, we recommend sowing grass seed into the loosened topsoil.) Then, the first rows of RGS35 plastic grass grid were laid flush with the existing paving. This continued row by row until the entire area was covered with grass grid.
Finally, the grass pavers should be embedded in the loosened topsoil. For larger areas, such as this one, a vibrating plate or compactor is recommended. Only by vibrating the grass pavers into the topsoil does the resulting parking area achieve its strength and durability.
The grass grid is not installed, but rather placed on top of the existing one. This innovative installation method (on-top installation) eliminates the need for complex and costly excavation work, including the creation of a load-bearing substructure, compared to concrete grass grids or conventional plastic honeycomb grass grids. When considering the overall costs and duration, the slightly higher material price of the RGS35 grass grid becomes almost negligible, especially when considering the installation costs.
