    Grassy pavers are very popular for many reasons which combines the beautiful green appealing grass with strong paving giving completely beautiful garden. Well, turf paver are not so popular but they are durable and attractive. They are environmental friendly. My sister had recently installed parking lot paving at Nassau County by the professional. The paving is a turf paving which requires little maintenance after the professional installed the plastic or concrete grid systems.

    No direct experience to report but I expect these products are best suited to vehicles or erosion control rather than for running or lounging on. Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me

    I agree with Rob on this one.  Grass-crete doesn’t seem like a good option for a recreation area as it is predominantly a hard pavement.

    I have never had good results with grass-crete.  The space for the grass to grow is too small and doesn’t allow a good matt of turf to establish.  I find these areas merely become pavers with dirt voids.
