Grass Pavers

Tackleman · 05-27-2014, 12:07 PM

I have a steep slope at my house that I take my tractor down and put a small boat into the water with. Every time that I do it the lawn gets ripped up. Has anyone ever installed those Grass Pavers and do they work?

I believe they will be acceptable if they are porous.

They are porous but I just wanted to know how well they work and how they work on hills.

I would have some concern about the durability of the plastic or composite grass paver systems. The reason being that they are designed for vertical loading and I would worry that the lateral stress put on them by the wheels of the pulling vehicle might tear them up. I have seen some precast concrete grid that grass can come up through. These might wear a bit better. Please keep in mind that a Wetland Permit is likely going to be needed for the installation.
