Grassrings

The Novaplas Turf Reinforcing Concept

The grass reinforcing rings concept has been quickly accepted internationally to increase and maintain a green environment in the rapidly expanding urban spread.

Grassrings is a 100% recycled injection moulded plastic structural grid system used to stabilise and reinforce grass, to prevent the compaction of the root zone, providing a luxuriant trafficable surface.

Studies show that compaction of the top 35mm of soil underneath grass must be prevented. If this layer becomes compacted grass roots are unable to obtain necessary oxygen, moisture and nutrients from the soil, causing the grass to suffocate and die. Grassrings prevent this compaction.

Grassrings’ design maximises the root development of the grass (over 90% root development area) and is invisible once installed.

The grid of rings is immensely strong, capable of supporting fire trucks, aeroplanes, helicopters and other heavy low volume traffic.

Benefits

• Open grid provides over 90% root development area and 100% grass cover.
• Grid is flexible – will follow undulations.
• Manufactured from 100% recycled chemical resistant, UV stabilised impact resistant polymer.
• Easy and fast to install including cutting around borders, trees etc.
• Provides storm water drainage and retention onsite.
• The ring design is the strongest shape for grass paving in that it has no weak corners. Grassrings will meet and exceed all loading criteria.
• Porous surface generally provides greater percolation rate to the natural ground.

"Management were sceptical at first because of the initial costs of installing Grassrings but the end result has won them over as cart damage in these areas has been minimal with no ongoing costs, In fact, it has saved us money in the long-term by not having to replace turf in the damaged areas"
