CellPave Grass Reinforcement for Driveways, Overflow Car Parks, and High-Traffic Areas

Why CellPave Reinforcement Is Ideal for High-Traffic Grass Areas

Areas like driveways, overflow car parks, and footpaths are prone to compaction, mud, and wear, which can damage lawns and spoil aesthetics. CellPave grass reinforcement provides:

• A strong, permeable structure for grass growth

• Protection against vehicle and pedestrian damage

• Enhanced soil drainage and reduced mud formation

• A natural, attractive appearance with fully growing turf

This makes it perfect for UK country estates, hotels, airports, landscaped high-traffic areas, and public spaces.

Step 1: Planning Your CellPave Installation

• Measure your area: Calculate total square meters for driveways, paths, or car parks

• Select CellPave specifications: Choose grid depth and load-bearing capacity based on expected traffic

• Assess ground conditions: Ensure soil is level, firm, and well-draining

• Plan layout: Determine entry/exit points, turning areas, and high-traffic zones

Tip: For areas with vehicle access, a load-bearing CellPave grid of at least 60mm depth is recommended.

Step 2: Preparing the Site

• Clear the area: Remove debris, rocks, and loose soil

• Level and compact the soil: Use a plate compactor for firm and even ground

• Add a sub-base if needed: For heavy vehicle use, a layer of gravel or sand may be required

• Mark edges and boundaries: Ensure grids are aligned for neat installation

Step 3: Installing CellPave Grids

1. Lay out the CellPave grids across the prepared surface

2. Connect interlocking sections for continuous coverage

3. Fill grids with topsoil or sand/soil mix

4. Sow grass seed or lay turf directly into the cells

5. Water thoroughly to help grass establish through the grid

Pro Tip: Overfill grids slightly and roll gently with a lawn roller to ensure grass establishes flush with the CellPave surface.

Step 4: Maintaining CellPave Areas

• Watering: Keep grass moist during establishment

• Mowing: Standard lawn mowing once grass grows through the grids

• Weed control: Remove weeds that may grow in grid openings

• Check alignment: Ensure grids remain level and stable after heavy use
