What are grassy tiles?
grass tiles are blocking grids that can be planted with grass lawn to form a lawn surface that lasts for pedestrians and automobile traffic. The tile grid structure is usually made of plastic or concrete and is a honeycomb grid. The design of the grid creates a solid surface that can support the weight without thicken the soil and roots of grass. Grass tiles are usually used for parking, driveway, pedestrian paths, golf trolley paths, football fields and other recreational surfaces. Plastic grids are ideal for light and medium -coil areas and concrete grids are ideal for higher operation areas. Both types are relatively easy to install and after locking to the site are filled with a mixture of topsoil, sand and gravel. After the grass has grown and is fully established, concrete tiles usually show more basic grid structures than plastic grids.
The main disadvantage of grassy tiles is that they are more expensive than the usual surfaces of the lawn, concrete orAbout asphalt. The cost of the grid varies according to the brand and also depends on the design requirements. Grass tiles must also be maintained as well as conventional lawn, including watering, fertilization and mowing. The bars swimming pool can also be filled with a mixture of sand and gravel and left unusual if the lawn is not required.
The main advantage of grassy tiles is that it forms a permeable surface that stabilizes the soil and allows to infiltrate rain into the ground. They can be integrated into landscape design as a form of rainwater management, ensure drainage and filtration while reducing drainage. To allow precipitation to penetrate into this water, the load reduces the load for other drainage and water management systems. By stabilizing soil, grass tiles controls erosion and can be installed on slopes or other areas where erosion is a problem.
Plava is an ecological possibility for landscape design. In terms of water managementThey offer permeable tiles significant advantages compared to impermeable surfaces of concrete and asphalt. Grass tiles are eligible for guidance in the field of energy and environmental design (LEED) in the Green Building Green Building rating system. The city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, used grassy tiles to design its sustainable streets.
