Drivable Grass Pavers

Cellular confinement geocell pavers allow grass to grow through driveways by providing a rigid structural framework filled with soil and aggregate. The open cells permit root growth and water infiltration, supporting healthy turf while distributing vehicle loads evenly across the subgrade — making them ideal for residential driveways, parking areas, and access routes.

HDPE cellular confinement pavers are engineered to distribute loads across a wide mat area, significantly reducing point stress on the soil below. They are suitable for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and even emergency vehicles. Load capacity depends on fill material quality, subgrade conditions, and geocell depth — a site assessment helps determine the optimal configuration.

Cellular confinement, or geocells, consists of interconnected high-density polyethylene strips welded into a three-dimensional honeycomb structure. When filled with soil, aggregate, or gravel, the cells confine material to prevent lateral movement and erosion, effectively distributing vertical loads over a larger surface area and stabilizing the underlying subgrade.

Yes. Cellular confinement geocell pavers are highly effective on slopes and embankments. The geocell structure anchors fill material in place, resisting erosion from water runoff and preventing soil displacement on steep gradients. They are commonly used for slope stabilization, channel protection, and erosion control on construction sites and roadway embankments.

Absolutely. Cellular confinement pavers are specifically suited for emergency vehicle access areas. Their load-distributing design supports heavy vehicles while maintaining a vegetated surface that blends into the landscape. These systems are frequently installed in fire lanes, overflow parking areas, and access paths where hard paving is undesirable or restricted.

Unlike asphalt or concrete, drivable grass pavers are permeable, reducing stormwater runoff and supporting vegetation. They are generally more cost-effective, require less aggregate, and offer environmental benefits such as reduced heat island effect. They are ideal for low-to-medium traffic areas, though high-traffic arterial roads typically still require conventional hard paving solutions.

Drivable grass pavers from Coleman Moore Company serve a wide range of industries. Municipal and government projects use them for emergency vehicle access lanes and green parking lots. Residential and commercial developments benefit from stable, vegetated driveways. They also support recreation and trail development — including bike paths and sports fields — as well as civil infrastructure applications like roadway subgrade stabilization and slope protection.
