Traditional arrangement solution landscape zone- a neat, trimmed lawn with bright green grass. Previously, you could admire manicured lawns in parks or private gardens. With the invention of lawn trellises, it became possible to plant grass on sports grounds, walkways, and even parking lots.
It's no secret that even the most well-groomed lawn loses its attractiveness over time - the soil is trampled down, eroded, and the grass thins out and changes color. Technologists suggested using a special coating for the soil, which will keep the lawn tidy. So, in 1994, the lawn grid was invented in Germany.
A lawn grate is a system of modules with a cellular structure, which are connected to each other with special locks. The modules protect the root system from mechanical stress. Each individual cell of the structure is, in fact, a small “pot” for growing grass. The walls of the cells take on the main load - the weight of pedestrians and cars.
After a car or a pedestrian has passed over a lawn with a lattice, after a while, the grass straightens on its own or after the next watering.
The lawn grate performs the following tasks:
A drainage layer must be laid under the grating - this helps avoid waterlogging of the area. The lawn grid itself is placed shallowly in the ground, creating a smooth lawn surface.
With the help of a lawn lattice, one of the main problems of territory development can be solved - an environmentally friendly and harmonious combination of the environment with the industrial and economic sphere of human activity.
The lawn lattice is used when arranging:
Particularly relevant today is the creation of eco-parking using lawn gratings. Modules of some grating models can withstand a load of 1.2 tons per square meter- this is enough to park vehicles weighing up to 40 tons
Lawn gratings have a number of undeniable advantages:
It should be noted that there are some disadvantages of using lawn gratings:
The lawn grate is made of high-strength plastic or concrete. When choosing one or another module, take into account the characteristics of the site and operating conditions of the lawn.
Plastic gratings are a modern and popular option for arranging lawns. This grille is made of high-strength plastic in different forms. The most popular are diamond-shaped and “honeycomb” shaped gratings. Traditional colors of grilles are black and green.
Plastic gratings can be divided into two types:
The advantages of plastic lawn gratings include:
Important! It is not advisable to use plastic gratings on difficult soils. In case of excessive mechanical impact The service life of the grate can be significantly reduced
Concrete models are the ancestors of lawn gratings. Just like plastic modules, they consist of individual cellular blocks installed on top of the lawn next to each other. Concrete gratings are indispensable in areas with hard soil, where it is difficult to ensure sufficient drainage of water after heavy rainfall.
Advantages of concrete lawn gratings:
Disadvantages of concrete lawn gratings:
Both domestic and foreign companies are engaged in the production of plastic and concrete gratings. Let's look at the characteristics of lawn gratings from popular manufacturers.
Lawn plastic grates Green Parking from company Erfolg(Germany) is used for organizing car parking and has the following characteristics:

Technical characteristics of Geo Lawn gratings:
North-West Road Company(Russia) specializes in the production of curb stones, paving slabs, support adjusting rings, as well as concrete lawn grating. The products are manufactured using the vibration pressing method.
The grid is a concrete frame with voids, which is mounted directly on the ground. Lawn gratings from the SZDK company are used to create “green” sidewalks, improve courtyards, strengthen slopes, and arrange parking lots.
The size of the lawn grate is 840*420*90 mm, the price per 1 m2 is 520 rubles.
German manufacturer plastic products Funke Kunststoffe produces lawn gratings Golpla from recycled materials - hydropropylene/polypropylene. The system is certified and tested by German land and industrial authorities.
Characteristics of the Golpla lawn grate:
When choosing a lawn grate for parking, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:
Even an inexperienced summer resident can lay a lawn lattice on his own. Let's look at the sequence of installation work:
During grass germination, it is necessary to eliminate as much as possible any load on the lawn
A lawn decorated with a lattice requires the same care as a regular lawn. It needs regular watering, application seasonal fertilizers and timely mowing of the grass. With this approach, you can enjoy a decorative and practical area of the lawn for a long time.
Many car owners who have garden plots, would like to combine a beautiful green lawn with parking for your own car. Purchasing a lawn grill will solve two issues at once. You will receive an excellent garden path and parking for cars at the dacha. There are plastic and concrete gratings; you can familiarize yourself with the options for designing lawns by looking at the photo. They are convenient and practical, they are easy to install. Yes, and such a lawn will not require special care.
The use of lawn gratings has its positive and negative sides. Therefore, before installing them on your personal plot, you need to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of operation.
TO positive aspects uses include:
Lawn grate allows you to create a beautiful parking space
There are slightly fewer disadvantages, but they are also worth considering:
This type of grating is most often used for car parking. Their height should not exceed 5 cm. They are usually green, but if desired, you can choose any color.
Lawn plastic grates have a ribbed surface, which ensures adhesion of the car to the grate.
Attention! During rain, a lawn grill can reduce slipping when the car slides.
The advantages of using a plastic grill include the possibility of installation at an angle, i.e. there is no need to level the surface. The structure is secured with metal brackets.
Features of using plastic gratings:
Plastic mesh for lawn
Concrete gratings can withstand very heavy weight loads. Therefore, they are mainly used for parking trucks. As with plastic gratings, installation of concrete gratings does not require preliminary leveling of the surface. But unlike its plastic counterpart, this grille is difficult to hide under the grass; it will always be visible.
You can install the lawn grate yourself. But you will need a lot of time, care and accuracy in your work. Therefore, it is worth resorting to outside help. For example, involve friends or relatives in the process of creating a garden path in the country. By following the sequence of installation steps, you will get a beautiful and durable lawn. We present to your attention step-by-step instruction for installing a plastic lawn grid for eco-parking.
Installation of lawn grating
Advice. If necessary, you need to adjust the size of the grille to suitable dimensions. Use cutting tools for this.
Advice. You need to sow the seeds 3-4 cm below the surface of the trellis. This will reduce the risk of damage to the grass.
Regular care of your lawn grate is a guarantee of long service life. Thus, with proper protection, the eco-park will last from 10 to 15 years. IN winter time To clear the surface for snow, you need to use forks and shovels with a safe coating (rubber pads). IN summer time It is enough to periodically cut the grass with a lawn mower.
There are a few more tips that you can follow to extend the life of your lawn.
Concrete lawn grate
Eco-parking at the dacha - aesthetically pleasing and practical. You can do the installation yourself, but it is better to seek the help of friends. This way, you can complete all the work faster and better.
Which grill to choose? It depends on what kind of car will be in the parking lot. So, for a passenger car a plastic grille is enough, but for trucks you will need a concrete one. An eco-parking can become not only a parking place for a car, but also a recreation area for children or a barbecue. The construction cost is low. Having spent minimal money and effort, you will improve the site and create parking for your iron horse.
When arranging parking in a country house, a personal plot or in the courtyard of a multi-storey residential building, you can use modern materials, which will reduce the costs of this work and preserve green spaces. A lawn grate for parking will help here, which is much cheaper to buy than tiles, devices concrete covering. With its help, an eco-parking lot is created, turning the lawn into a parking space.
“Eco” means environmentally friendly, made using safe materials. A lawn grate is placed at its base, the price in Moscow of which is most favorable from the company “Center StroyPlastik”. It is made of a non-toxic polymer composition; upon contact with soil and plants, it behaves inertly towards them. In addition, it does not heat up in the sun, is resistant to low temperatures, and is light stabilized, so it can be used for five years or more.
The parking area has the following structure:
It is important that the reinforcing plastic grating or grating is painted black, green, therefore, as the grass sprouts, it becomes completely invisible and hides in it. The choice of modules and base type in terms of height, the use of bulk material (a combination of crushed stone, sand) is carried out according to the expected load.
So, for a passenger car, a lawn mesh is simply laid on the existing lawn; to order in Moscow, it is offered for sale in our online store from Russian manufacturer, at low cost, with delivery. For several cars or a parking lot for a small bus, you will need to make a sand and gravel bed 15-25 cm high, then fill the soil and plant grass; you can buy modules for surface or in-depth installation.
This simple technology is used to create durable, reliable eco-parking lots. Moscow and the region are the most attractive for its implementation, since it provides the opportunity to maintain planting areas with an increase in the number of parking spaces.
One of the main problems of Moscow, like other large cities of modern times, has been the lack of parking space. In the private sphere, the question takes on a slightly different form, because if at the dacha it is possible to find a “corner” for parking, then there are no resources to install a full-fledged concrete platform. In each case, the solution to the problem is a lawn lattice.
It is a material in rigid modules, rolls, intended for strengthening the soil and arranging eco-parking. Lawn gratings are inexpensive; manufacturers offer them at a price that is absolutely acceptable for a private buyer. But at the same time, they are highly functional and effective in reinforcing the lawn and creating a comfortable parking space.
This term has been coined recently. It implies areas intended for parking vehicles, but arranged without a standard type of covering. Instead of concrete or asphalt concrete, the surface here is covered with grass. This creates several advantages:
To create an eco-parking site, significantly less materials and funds are required. There is often no need to prepare the base, especially if we're talking about about private parking for one or two cars. In each case, a significant saving effect is achieved, but ultimately this is not the main thing. Preservation and expansion of green areas improves the environmental friendliness of territories, supports the preservation of the natural landscape and improves people's living conditions.
The easiest to use and affordable type of material for eco-parking. It is a flat grating supplied in rolls. As a rule, oriented polypropylene of increased strength is used for its production. The material is green in color and camouflages well on the surface of the lawn.
The parking net is laid at the base of the lawn. To do this, the top layer of soil is removed and the material is rolled out on the surface. It is elastic and takes the shape of natural relief. Metal brackets or anchors should be used for fastening. After installation, the soil is returned to its place or new fertile soil is used.
Subsequently, the surface is seeded lawn grass. Varieties that are maximally resistant to mechanical load are used, usually mixtures of meadow plants. They have a hard top, while root system under the protection of a plastic lawn lattice, it is inaccessible for trampling and eradication. The price of this design is minimal.
After laying the protective material, the effect is achieved within a short time. It is enough to wait for the active germination of the grass to be able to use the site for its intended purpose.
This ensures effectiveness in several areas:
In this way, eco-parking for a passenger car is created at the lowest cost, and green lawns intended for games, relaxation, and walking pets are also strengthened.
One of the means of organizing green parking. They are modules that look like a honeycomb. The volumetric structure provides an important advantage of the modules - their increased bearing capacity. They take the load not only in the plane, but also on the end parts, thanks to which one square meter of reinforced surface can withstand a weight of up to two hundred tons.
This type of lawn grate is designed for large parking lots. You can buy it at a favorable price from our company for the organization:
It is possible to drive on the reinforced surface of passenger cars and medium-sized vehicles such as minibuses and cargo gazelles. The durable design of plastic lawn gratings can withstand high loads without having a negative impact on the soil.
The technique of using volumetric modules has its own nuances. IN in this case it is necessary to prepare the foundation and strengthen it to allow operation by large vehicles. A excavation of up to 30 cm is made in the ground, a mixture of sand and crushed stone is filled in as a stabilizing “cushion”. The greater the load planned on the lawn, the higher the “cushion” should be. In particular, for arranging a parking space for passenger vehicles, a base height of fifteen to twenty centimeters is sufficient.
Geotextiles are laid on the resulting base, after which sand is poured and reinforcing modules are laid. Then the soil is poured back and grass is planted. The stabilized surface is protected from destruction, rutting, trampling and uprooting of plants. You can buy lawn gratings with a three-dimensional design to ensure a load capacity of the area from 10 to 350 tons per square meter.
They are flat, durable modules designed for surface installation. Their use in the countryside allows you to quickly and without excavation work create an aesthetic surface for a playground, garden path, and area around the pool. Also, with the help of a lawn covering, you can protect your existing lawn from destruction.
Advantages of using modules:
When laying a lawn covering, there is no need to remove the soil or create a “cushion”. It is allowed to use rigid modules on the ground, tiles, etc. flat surface. In our catalog you will find models that imitate paving slabs, stone, plank panels and other materials.
