Protecting Lawns and Grass Surfaces with CellPave: UK Estates, Hotels, and Event Spaces

Why Reinforcement Matters for High-Traffic Grass Areas

Lawns at estates, hotels, airports, and event spaces often experience heavy foot traffic, occasional vehicles, and large gatherings, which can lead to:

• Soil compaction and turf damage

• Bare patches and uneven surfaces

• Increased maintenance and repair costs

• Reduced aesthetics for guests and visitors

CellPave grass reinforcement provides a permeable, durable structure that allows grass to grow through while protecting soil, making it ideal for UK high-traffic lawn areas.

Step 1: Planning Your CellPave Installation

• Survey the area: Measure total square meters of lawns, driveways, or parking zones

• Determine expected traffic: Foot traffic, vehicles, or event load

• Select grid specifications: Depth and load-bearing capacity based on usage

• Plan layout: Include entrances, turning zones, and high-traffic pathways

Tip: Prioritise high-traffic areas for maximum protection and longevity.

Step 2: Preparing the Ground

• Clear debris such as stones, sticks, and loose soil

• Level and compact soil: Use a rake and plate compactor to create a firm surface

• Add a sub-base if necessary: For areas expecting light vehicles or heavy foot traffic

• Mark edges and boundaries for neat and aligned grid placement

Step 3: Installing CellPave Grids

1. Lay grids over the prepared surface

2. Connect interlocking sections to create continuous coverage

3. Fill grids with topsoil or soil/compost mix

4. Sow grass seed or lay turf through the cells

5. Water thoroughly to encourage grass establishment

Pro Tip: Ensure grass grows flush with the grid surface for a smooth and natural appearance.

Step 4: Maintaining Reinforced Grass Areas

• Watering: Keep newly seeded grass moist until established

• Mowing: Can be carried out once grass grows through the grids

• Weed control: Remove any weeds growing in the grid cells

• Inspection: Check grid alignment and secure edges after heavy use or storms
