FAQS

1. What is a grass grid and why is it used?

Grass grid is an openwork panel made of durable recycled materials such as polyethylene. It is used to harden and stabilize the ground, allowing the load to be evenly distributed, and allows to create usable surfaces. All this to prevent ruts and damage to parking lots, access roads or fire roads.

2. What are the advantages of using Stella Green brand grass grid?

Soil Stabilization – Grid increases the strength of the pavement, making it ideal for use on parking lots, paths and driveways.
Free migration of rainwater – the grass grid allows water to be naturally absorbed by the ground, reducing the risk of puddles and stagnation.
Eco-friendly landscaping – the grass grid allows to preserve the natural appearance of the area, supporting green surfaces while strengthening the ground.

3. Can I install a grass grid without laying a foundation?

No, laying the substructure is necessary.

Important: At the site of pedestrian traffic, the substructure should be 20 cm, and at the site of traffic – 40 cm. The substructure consists of a base layer, a leveling layer and two layers of geotextile separating the base layer from the other layers.

4. Is it possible to purchase an entire palette of grass grids?

6. Is the Stella Green gravel grid resistant to heavy loads and damage?

Yes, Stella Green gravel grid are tested for load resistance and comply with DIN EN 1072:1985. This means that they are strong enough to support the weight of vehicles, including cars, RVs or vans. When it comes to road construction, gravel grids are an excellent solution.

Tests conducted by the German TÜV SÜD confirm their durability and reliability. The gravel grids are resistant to compression, acids and other adverse weather conditions.

7. What is the soil stabilization process?

Soil stabilization is the process of improving the properties of the soil (e.g., on site) to increase its bearing capacity and durability. Depending on the type of stabilization, it can involve mixing the soil with suitable materials or compacting it mechanically to provide a solid base for paving. In addition to laying suitable material, such as grass grids, so-called chemical stabilization (changing the properties of the soil with additives such as synthetic resins or hydraulic binders such as cement, lime) or mechanical stabilization (mixing and compacting two or more soils and/or aggregates) are also used to stabilize the ground.
