Benefits of Grass Block or Grass Paving for the Home Yard
If you like gardening and want your yard not to be muddy after it rains,
there is the right solution for this, namely by paving grass blocks or often also called paving grass.
In general, we are more familiar with paving blocks or conblocks than grass blocks.
because it is often seen and widely used for sidewalks, jogging tracks or parking areas in housing,
shops, malls and other locations. In terms of usability, both of them have the same function, namely for the road
which require hardening as well as absorption of soil water.
There are advantages and disadvantages of grass blocks compared to paving blocks.
The advantage is that the absorption of rainwater into the soil is more than that
paving blocks and make the environment look more beautiful and green.
Meanwhile, the drawbacks in terms of strength to hold the load are not as big as paving blocks.
What are the Benefits and Why is Grass Block needed
Asphalt or concrete roads can have a negative impact on the environment.
because both are made of materials that do not absorb water, so that when it rains the water cannot enter the ground.
This will have an impact on the preservation of nature, because the availability of ground water will be increasingly difficult to obtain.
For that we need to provide space on the land that needs hardening by installing grass blocks.
Grass blocks are made with the same aggregate material as paving blocks, except that they are molded with grass blocks
designed with holes so that after installation it can be overgrown or planted with grass.
Paving grass blocks are also quite reliable and weather resistant and less prone to abrasion than roads
asphalt if it is often exposed to and submerged in rain. The maintenance costs are also relatively low.
if there is damage we only need to lift the damaged part and replace it
with a new one without having to dismantle the entire area, so it's very practical and efficient.
