GrassPark - Permeable Driveway Paving Grid (600 x 400 x 100 mm) - Parking Area Grass Paving
Premium Concrete - Concrete Block Paving
Product Summary
GrassPark is a permeable paving grid which allows grass to grow through whilst providing hard standing suitable for parking cars and vans on. Ideal for creating discreet, extra parking spaces, yet at the same time keeping the area essentially grassland.

Permeable Paving - these paving blocks allow rainfall to drain between the bricks to naturally soak-away fulfilling source control criteria as part of Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS)
Prevent Surface Run-Off - helps prevent localised surface flooding when mains drainage becomes overwhelmed; it does this by keeping rainfall on your property where it will soak-away, rather than letting it run into the roads and drains
Driveways & Parking Areas Paving - designed specifically for driveways and parking areas
Natural Looking Parking Area - discreet, extra parking spaces, yet at the same time keeping the area essentially grassland
Avoid Planning Permission - if you are using permeable paving to pave your own domestic driveway or area at the front of your property, then you can do so without applying for planning permission
Environment & Sustainability - permeable paving should be considered by housebuilders and developers for both your Sustainable Urban Drainage plan and to ensure you're aligned with BREEAM advice to assist you with any planning application you're undertaking.
GrassPark facilitates natural drainage of rainwater into the subsoil and, as such, should negate the requirement for planning permission when used to pave front gardens for hard standing. As with every construction project, it is always advisable to check with the relevant local planning authority prior to starting your project.
100mm Permeable Parking Grid
These permeable grid block pavers have a depth of 100mm making them suitable vehicle parking areas and driveways.
Prevent Surface Run-Off
These blocks are designed to allow water to pass between the blocks and soak-away beneath your paved area. This allows rainfall to naturally soak into the ground and prevents it from running off into unwanted areas (such as the street at the front of your home) which could contribute to localised flooding during downpours.
Homeowners - Avoid Need for Planning Permission
Using permeable paving for driveways or paved areas at the front of your property will allow you to install it without requiring planning permission if you have no lawn areas or borders into which any run-off water can drain.
The UK Government changed planning regulations in 2008 following major flooding across the country the previous year. The Environment Agency conducted studies that showed that 66% of surface water flooding where the mains drainage was overwhelmed was caused by run-off rainwater from driveways and paved areas. To prevent this “flash flooding” phenomena, they introduced new planning guidance requiring the use of permeable paving where no run-off into lawns/borders was possible to prevent the water from reaching the street and mains sewers.
House Builders & Developers - Environment & Sustainability
These permeable paving blocks can be used to gain credit in your planning applications with regard to Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS) considerations.
As part of the wider solution to Surface Water Flooding, the Government has made a series of changes to legislation, guidance and planning regulations. Flood and Water Management Act 2010 sets out the requirements of Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS) in which a natural approach to managing drainage in and around properties and other developments is required. A key component of this is using permeable paving where no suitable soak-away area or mechanism on the property for that paving exists. This approach ensures that rainwater is able to naturally enter the ground on the property or site (source control) and soak into the ground without leaving the site.
Additionally, other soakaway/drainage mechanisms such as swales, soak-away channels and filter drains can be used to provide additional credit relating to (site control) as part of your SUDS considerations that will be assessed in your planning application.

Unit Measurements 600 x 400x 100 mm 9 layers of 3 tiles = 27 units/pack 4.17 tiles = 1m2 Pack Coverage: 6.4
1) Digging Out
First mark out the area to be excavated using string lines and pegs. You will need to dig out a total depth of at least 275 mm below the proposed paving height to facilitate:
150mm (minimum) of compacted MOT Type 1 (General Sub-Base) material
25mm (minimum) of Sharp Sand
100mm thickness of the GrassPark paving.
Ensure that the side walls of the area to be excavated are vertical
2) Sub-Base
A MOT Type 1 (General Sub-Base) aggregate is required to give foundation strength and stability to your paving. Rake out the aggregate to create an even layer. Using a vibrating plate compactor, consolidate the aggregate to a compressed height of 125mm below the surface of the ground level.
If a high level of drainage is required, a MOT Type 3 (Coarse Graded Aggregate) with reduced or no fines (small particles/dust) should be used in conjunction with a Geotextile membrane to prevent the laying course being wash into/through the sub-base.
3) Laying Course
Add 25mm of Sharp Sand on top of the compacted substrate to create a bedding/regulating layer. The Sharp sand screed should be compacted and levelled.
If a high degree of drainage is required, a clean/washed aggregate, graded apprximately 2/6mm should be used (again, in conjunction with a geotextile membrane to prevent soil fines being washed away).
4) Laying the Blocks
Place the GrassPark grids evenly onto the bedding layer to create the paved area, checking with your levels.
5) Grassing (or Gravelling)
Prepare a mix of fine soil or loam with a proprietary compost. Add grass seed and mix thoroughly.
Brush the mixture into the paving voids to create a level finish. Do not compact as the mix will settle below the paving surface and will allow the grass to grow. Thoroughly water the area until the grass grows healthily. The grass will draw moisture from the sand bedding layer when the soil mix becomes dry. Alternatively, you may wish to use gravel.

Our samples can be found on the relevant product page in the list of purchasing options.
If there is no sample listed on the product page you are interested in, that means unfortunately we currently cannot offer samples for that product.

Samples are charged at £8.99 including delivery.
Please note, we aim to deliver all samples within 5-7 working days.
Colour / tone variations in natural stone
Due to the nature of the material, no two pavers are alike. Particular shades of natural stone will have a slight colour variation. Where appropriate, we will supply a leaflet that will help demonstrate this variation in colour.
Please Note - Samples are not available on Clearance Products.
Due to the limited stock/availability of clearance products, unfortunately, we cannot cannibalise them to provide samples.
Split Packs
If you need a specific amount of paving we offer mini-packs for most of our best selling products that will allow you to achieve the right coverage in most cases. However, if you don't see an available mini-pack option you can call our team during office hours to arrange for a split pack order.
To Order A Split Pack Please Call Our Sales Team
Tel: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm

Need a specific amount - call our team now and we can arrange splitting down a pallet so you get specifically what you need.
Pallets that are split down are not included as free delivery. Standard Split Pack Pallet Delivery Fee Applies, which is £75 (Expedited options may incur extra charges - POA). This £75 covers the extra charge of a new wooden crate / pallet, packaging, labour & haulage delivery charge.
What is a split pack?
Paving products are palletised or crated to allow them to be transported and stored efficiently. This means they are generally sold with a specific number of pieces per pallet/crate. However, customers sometimes need less than a full pallet for their project. In these cases, we can split down the pallet by hand and then re-pack, re-bind and re-hood the pallet so they receive just the paving they need, saving you money on buying a full pack and having wasted slabs left over. Please remember to include 10% extra on your measured area for cuts/corners/breakage
Split Pack Exclusions
Please note we cannot split down packs of Bekstone Walling or Clearance Products.
