Why is Grass Paving Important?

0 Comment

Few things are more eco-friendly in parking and road construction than  grass , even in LEED structures. Not only does it reduce stormwater runoff, preventing pollutants from entering natural aquifers through bioremediation, it prevents the Heat Island Effect caused by concrete and asphalt structures at the same time, contributing to more steady, cooler temperatures and fewer hot spots. Made from 100% post consumer recycling plastic, Leiyuan’s manufacturing process saves 80 % of carbon dioxide emissions compared to using virgin plastic. Comparatively, concrete production causes up to 7% of our planet’s carbon dioxide emissions while using grass systems instead of concrete lowers air and water pollution while creating a natural carbon sink.

When you need a green space to be functional as well as decorative, grass has proven to be a great design tool for architects. If you’re designing overflow parking at event centers, sports venues, restaurants and churches, leiyuan pavers with grass fill are an excellent choice. By providing ground stability by way of plastic , leiyuan pavers remain virtually invisible in a grass paved surface while heavy rains or flooding that would turn a typical grass parking area into an undriveable mudpit leave the area virtually untouched. When permeability of a site is needed, civil engineers turn to grass pavement products. Leiyuan with grass fill provides an excellent way to maintain or or even improve a site’s runoff rate from before development, helping keep streams, ponds and rivers clean and free of runoff chemicals.

In cities and industrial complexes, the Heat Island Effect creates consistently higher temperatures than surrounding areas because traditional pavement methods make them retain more heat. At the same time, water-impervious structures such as buildings, concrete and asphalt all raise localized temperature by absorbing solar heat, creating hot spots and a higher heat island index while promoting harmful runoff. Grass pavement is an excellent option to combat this heat gain by cooling and steadying the local environment.
