TurfPave® XD

What is TurfPave® XD

TurfPave® XD is a lightweight, high strength interlocking plastic grass paver designed for the creation of grassed areas subject to pedestrian and occasional vehicular traffic.

TurfPave® XD grass pavers are used in the construction of emergency access, overflow parking, home driveways, golf buggy paths and slope stabilisation.

TurfPave® XD has a porous structure allowing rainwater to infiltrate into the ground. The high load-bearing structure protects grass roots against compaction and effectively supports loads imposed by large fire trucks.

TurfPave® XD cells contain notches, have large open base areas and high void spaces that promote and ensure healthy root development.

TurfPave® XD grass pavers are also suited for gravel containment.

  • Excavate and/or level the area
  • Install drainage systems, irrigation systems, and utility lines in the subgrade, as needed
  • Lay and compact a 2-10 mm gravel road base or washed paving sand to provide support for projected weight-bearing loads
  • Position TurfPave® XD cells on the compacted gravel road base or paving sand
  • Cover the TurfPave® XD cells with a recommended sand soil mix for turf establishment
  • Apply recommended moisture, water retention agents and fertilizers
  • Place rolled turf, or hydro-seed onto the filled TurfPave® XD cells
