Flexible pavement
Drivable Grass pavement is made of poly-reinforced concrete and designed to flex and conform to irregular ground surface contours. Pre-manufactured holes and cracks allow for root penetration through the mat, which enables permeability, flexibility, and plantability. The system is designed for areas where a permeable, vegetated vehicle access or parking surface is required. Soil Retention Systems Inc. www.soilretention.com.Circle 1.
