This unique cellular structure is created using the Grasscrete void former; vacuum formed with a patented anti-static coating to prevent concrete adhesion as well as enabling easy packing and separation.

Key Benefits

Resists differential settlement

Modular, pre-cast concrete or plastic systems rely significantly upon grass for stability by forming a composite tensile matrix. Under constant trafficking the combination of load and vibration can loosen root anchorage, leaving the surface prone to settlement in a syndrome known as ‘elephant tracking’.

By contrast Grasscrete isn’t structurally influenced by grass and can therefore be trafficked before grass establishment. The reinforced structure resists differential settlement and the flat, upper surface and pocket shape minimises vibration.

Ground heave
Grasscrete’s unique pocket profile enables the release of frost heave and hydro-static pressure. These benefits enable the system to be used over frost influenced ground and in demanding slope protection works.

Sub-base depth
With an allowable ground-bearing requirement of just 45kN/m2, Grasscrete can be installed over slimmer sub-bases than required for pre-cast or plastic types.

Edge details
Modular pre-cast concrete or plastic systems require edge restraints or kerbs. For larger projects intermediate shear anchors may also be needed. Grasscrete however, requires no such detail, enabling it to blend naturally with adjacent finishes with subtle delineation created by a monolithically cast solid concrete edge margin.
