Landscapers and environmentally aware people world-wide demand outdoor space to be treated more and more with regard to protecting nature. Grassy Pavers grass paver are a plastic, grass paving system, which is proven to be used as drivable surface, leaving options for designing while allowing water to naturally penetrate into the subsoil. Grassy Pavers grass paver is a practical solution to protect the environment rather than using paving, asphalt or concrete. 

Grassy Pavers grass paver eliminates the problem of ruts in walkways and driveways, controls erosion on slopes and embankments and allows drainage from troublesome areas on residential, commercial and public areas.

      It’s no secret that impervious surfaces add dramatically to storm water runoff problems: erosion, downstream flooding, and pollution of surface waters. Paved areas are the biggest culprits. For most road surfaces, parking areas, low-use driveways, utility access roads, pedestrian pathways, highway shoulders, and fire lanes, there are many advantages to surfaces that can absorb surface water instead of shedding it.

       One of the most exciting products in this area is Grassy Pavers porous paving system, distributed by CV Supply. Grassy Pavers grass paver is installed over road base with sand fill and turf or gravel. Introduced in 1997 and made of 97% post-consumer recycled HDPE plastic, Grassy Pavers grass paver is installed on top of a gravel road base. Then the cells are filled with a soil/sand mix and planted with grass or filled with gravel.

       Advantages of Grassy Pavers grass paver are numerous. After the turf becomes fully established, even large trucks can drive over it without risk of root compaction. The product can handle concentrated loads in excess of 97,000 lbs per square foot, which is greater than that of most tractor-trailers and fire trucks. Established Grassy Pavers grass paver areas require essentially the same maintenance as lawns or athletic fields: mowing, irrigation if necessary, occasional fertilizer, etc. Over the life cycle of the product, maintenance requirements will be lower than those of conventional asphalt pavement.

       The biggest advantage of Grassy Pavers grass paver has to do with storm water management. Using the product can eliminate the need for costly storm water management systems, such as detention ponds, infiltration basins, and storm water sewers. By allowing rainwater to percolate into the soil, groundwater is recharged and pollutant loading to surface waters is reduced.  

      The primary difference between Grassy Pavers grass paver and other pervious paving systems (pervious asphalt or modular concrete porous grid pavers, for example) is that this material has a much greater pervious area (97%). Concrete grid pavers are up to 75% solid, limiting overall permeability. Concrete pavers also absorb heat and actually make successful grass growth difficult at best. Porous asphalt has an even smaller open area. With the smaller open (pervious) area, the greater the likelihood of silt clogging the material. Another difference with concrete grid pavers is that, depending on the grid configuration, you may have exposed block in the grass area; that shouldn’t happen with Grassy Pavers grass paver.

       The cost of Grassy Pavers grass paver is highly variable depending on the size of the project. For a 10,000 square foot project, the cost will be about $2.00 per square foot delivered in most cases. Because of the significant economies of scale with Grassy Pavers grass paver, for a very large project it can become cost-competitive with asphalt.    

      Along with the Grassy Pavers grass paver product, CV Supply, Inc. distributes a similar product, Equiterr, which is designed for the Equine industry.

      Equiterr is a modular soil stabilization product engineered specifically for the equestrian industry. It is the key to creating footing stabilization systems in arenas, training areas and paddocks. This system creates a stable, porous base for your footing material by combining the soil strength of a stone aggregate base with the stabilizing characteristics of a stone filled EquiTerr layer. The system increases soil stability and enhances footing drainage.    EquiTerr is the ideal solution for improving muddy, rutted soil conditions along fence rows and around gates and barn access areas. EquiTerr's unique design allows for year round utilization and enjoyment of your riding and training facilities.

     Without Equiterr, arenas, paddocks and training areas require constant work, time and expenditure. EquiTerr stabilizes the sub soils, provides the chosen surface material e.g. sand, from mixing with and dissipating into the sub soils.

      Without the EquiTerr system, horse areas become muddy, rutted and more susceptible to causing injury to horses and riders.
