Block and Turf Are Cost Effective

In general, blocks and turf are useful in many situations where you want to provide safe walking without having to cover existing soil and turf. But beyond that, blocks and turf are cheaper than asphalt and concrete. This is definitely the way to go when you have a large area that needs to be paved. For example, you may need more space to park your car, but you may not want to cover the area with asphalt or concrete. Block and grass driveways or parking lots are the best solutions.

Benjamin Instant Block and Turf is ideal for pedestrian or low-traffic areas that require high levels of energy but benefit from the beauty of green space. Block and Grass pavers are 40 percent clear to allow grass or moss to grow and maintain the quality of your lawn. Benjamin Instant Lawn Block and Turf permeable mesh pavers are not only green, but also control erosion and stabilize the soil, making them ideal for slopes and ditches.

Block and Turf are used in easy-traffic areas such as driveways, low-traffic roads, shoulders and parking lots. The terms Block and Turf describe systems that include reservoirs, barns, and old soils that temporarily store water as water flows to the outlet. Block and Turf area is cultivated grass made of impermeable blocks separated from voids and joints, filled with soil and through which water can flow. Alternatively, the gaps and joints of the Block and Turf can be filled with stone. Permeable joint pavers can be impermeable brick, cobblestone, natural stone or modular unit concrete pavers with permeable joints to allow water to flow into the floor.

Some pavers are designed with concave corners to facilitate access. When the soil’s permeability is low, there must be a connection with the water runoff from the storm. Grassed and fenced areas can be considered “self-healing areas” that can run directly into storm water if they do not receive water from municipal sewers. Block and Turf are considered site design measures and their use can help reduce the size of treatment measures through the introduction or temporary storage of water, but they are not treatment.
