Product catalog summary

Overview
DRIVABLE GRASS® is a permeable, flexible, and plantable concrete system designed with an engineered polymer grid. It offers flexibility and conforms to irregular ground surfaces while providing structural support. This system is suitable for various soil stabilization applications, whether planted or non-planted.

Applications
DRIVABLE GRASS® is ideal for erosion control and drainage in bio-swales, road shoulders, roadside swales, infiltration basins, small channels, and ditches. It serves as a permanent hard armor system for linear projects. Additional applications include parking, fire lanes, utility access, and pathways.
