Grassed Parking & Drive Areas

Regulations often limit the location and size of paved parking areas. Environmental considerations make these surfaces a concern for everyone. Often the result is a lack of paved parking areas, making parking on grassed areas a necessity. However, parking or driving on grass usually results in the destruction of the grassed area. Have you ever parked in a grassed area only to have rain reduce it to a mucky swamp? As a result, grassed areas usually sport a "No Parking" sign.

Now imagine a sign reading "Please Park on The Grass!" Grass is indeed a very aesthetically pleasing surface for covering large parking areas. Grassed parking areas offer several advantages: They are often cheaper than traditional pavements, are environmentally friendly and are one of the most permeable parking systems available. According to one study, every 1,000 square foot of grassed paving will pass 7,000 gallons per every 10 inches of rainfall, thereby greatly reducing runoff.

US Fabrics' Grass Protection, Turf Reinforcement and Track Mat provide solutions from light pedestrian traffic to vehicles in excess of 8 tons. These mats are typically installed in the spring and over seeded. Once in installed, the area will soon resume its natural appearance and provide a stable surface for your traffic. So go ahead, park on the grass!
