Everybody loves a well-kept and properly paved
patio. Not only does it add value to a property, it’s a great place to spend
an afternoon, relaxing or having a barbie with the family.
While concrete pavement is the go-to material
for these spaces, recent developments in hardscaping and architecture have
introduced a whole new way of designing patios. Grass pavers like grasscrete and porous pavers are now widely used to create patios, pathways, extra parking space, and emergency access roads. They let homeowners enjoy the best of
both worlds - sturdy hard concrete covering while having green grass thrive
within the area.
Here are four more reasons why you should use grass pavers on
your patio:
Easy to install
Grass
protection mesh and other plastic porous pavers come in
pre-assembled roll-out sheets. They are faster to install than traditional
pavement and don’t need special tools to establish.
Creates a cool space
Porous pavers let water pass through its
openings, which cools down the surrounding area and thereby offsetting the
heat. You can now enjoy your patio without worrying about the hot weather.
Mess free
Have you ever had oil leak onto your pavement
from your parked car? With grass pavers, you won’t have to worry about the
hassle of scrubbing it out. Grass growing on reinforced turf can absorb anything
spilled on it and filters it back to the ground making a mess free pavement.

Reduces erosion and water runoff
Grass pavers provide excellent ground cover to
keep your topsoil in place. It also helps absorb water runoff preventing
drainage systems from getting overwhelmed.
These are just few reasons why permeable paving
is good for your patio.
