Cellular Paving Systems

Cellular Paving Systems

Cellular paving systems are the easy way to create grass and gravel parking areas without the area turning into a mud pit or becoming uneven under vehicle and foot traffic. These interlocking systems spread the load without compacting the soil or allowing the gravel to spread or rut. They also enhance drainage, especially compared to concrete and other traditional non-porous surfaces. We stock various grades suitable for all traffic - from pedestrians to horses and even HGVs.

  • About Cellular Paving Systems

    Cellular paving has many benefits over traditional hard surfaces. Sitting beneath the surface, these ground reinforcement systems provide structural support and allow rainwater to soak through naturally into the soil.

    This prevents excess water from running into the drains where it can cause flooding, making permeable paving a more environmentally-friendly solution than simply concreting over everything.   

    If you’re creating a driveway or a patio area, cellular paving allows you to choose a grass or gravel surface that blends naturally into the surroundings. It’s also ideal for access roads through grassed areas, or for protecting the grass on a golf course. 

    Grassed areas are often used as overflow parking at venues like service stations or theme parks. Permeable pavers prevent vehicles from churning up the surface after rainfall - which avoids a mud bath and keeps the grass looking good.

    Fast and easy to install

    Cellular paving systems (sometimes known as driveway grids) have an interlocking design and typically come in pre-assembled sheets, making them quick and easy to install.

    You won’t need any specialist equipment, which reduces your costs compared to traditional paving systems. The grids are also made from sustainable plastic, so they’re lightweight and therefore cheaper to transport. 

    You can use cellular grids with a variety of different aggregates, chippings, or grass to produce your preferred finish. Porous paving systems also include plastic frames with concrete or rubber blocks to give a paved effect.

    Another key advantage of using cellular paving system is that it reduced the likelihood of you requiring planning permission for your driveway. The government is keen to discourage property owners from installing hard surfaces on their front gardens as it increases flood risks, but permeable systems don't have this problem.

    Of course, you'll still need to double-check about planning permission as special condtions may apply. Read more about the topic here.

    Key benefits of cellular paving systems

    Cellular paving systems give you a durable, eco-friendly surface without having to spend a fortune.

    Sustainable drainage

    The grids allow rainwater to drain naturally through the grass or gravel surface instead of running directly into drains.

    Improved load bearing

    Spreads the weight of vehicles or foot traffic more evenly without compacting the soil.

    Greater stability

    The reinforcement also helps to prevent surfaces from becoming uneven over time.

    Anti-slip surface

    Minimises the risk of trips and slips, even in bad weather.

    Aesthetically pleasing

    It’s easy to create an attractive, natural-looking driveway or parking area.

    Inexpensive

    Cellular paving systems are very cost-effective compared to traditional hard surfaces.

    Easy to install

    No specialist equipment needed; just prepare the ground and lay the interlocking grids before filling with gravel or grass.
