Very nice in front of the house looks like an even green lawn . It makes the local area more well-groomed and cozy. And in order not to break this harmony with concrete parking for a car, you can use a special parking grid.
Green lawn for parking on the lawn
The lawn grate is a cellular module used to strengthen the soil and protect plants from damage from the wheels of the car. This parking lot is called an eco-park, because they keep a natural lawn.
Inside the cells, which freely pass moisture and air, the grass grows quietly. It is not damaged either by the feet of pedestrians or by the wheels of the car. These lattices are laid down to a shallow depth and do not create any obstacles to the germination of the grass. As a result, the lawn looks like a level ground, on which you can park your car without fear.
The lawn grate additionally removes excess moisture in deeper layers, preventing its stagnation. This is good for the grass, and the fact that the car in wet weather will not slip in the mud.
The lawn, equipped with such gratings, has excellent mechanical strength and resistance to various loads and impacts. And besides the arrangement of parking, the grille can be used to equip an active recreation area and children's playgrounds, hiking paths, golf courses, etc.
Advantages of plastic lawn grating for parking
Among the positive characteristics of the plastic grating, the following can be noted:
- speed and ease of installation;
- simplicity of further care of the lawn, which can be cut by lawn mowers and gasoline pumps;
- environmental cleanliness and the possibility to use near living quarters and children's playgrounds;
- light weight and easy transportation;
- resistance to low temperatures and no need for dismantling for the winter season;
- help in creating a perfectly flat surface of the lawn and giving the lawns an even more attractive appearance;
- Strengthening the soil and protecting the rhizomes of lawn grass;
- normalization of water circulation in the soil.
High-strength plastic, used to create parking on the lawn, withstands significant loads and is almost invisible on the lawn among the grass. As a result, the lawn has the most natural appearance.
The cost of the plastic lattice is slightly higher than that of the concrete, but this pays off for a long period of time without loss of functionality and integrity.
Lawn grid for parking of concrete
Concrete lawn grilles are more traditional because they appeared earlier than plastic ones. Their advantages - in the strength, durability and reliability of the resulting structures. In addition, such grating can be used in difficult conditions with heavy and dense ground, creating a complete drainage system .
Undoubtedly, the concrete grate is much better able to withstand heavy loads, including in the parking lot. Its service life is very long.
The only difficulty is in the delivery of heavy blocks and their installation. Their self-packing, in principle, is possible. Only you need to know and follow the technology.
Laying a lawn grate
Before buying a grid, you need to calculate the necessary number of modules and decide which lattice you will use - plastic or concrete. It must be said that for
Next, you need to prepare the base, mark out the dimensions of the lawn and dig a pit depth of 10-30 cm, depending on the expected load and the material used. When constructing parking, the thickness of the underlying layer should be made maximum - about 20 cm.
In general, under the grate, several layers are being built - crushed stone, geotextile, sand, fertile soil with grass seeds. When asked whether it is possible to tamp the lawn grating for parking, it should be said that this method is a universal principle of laying a lawn grate.
