Formed in 1970 Grass Concrete Limited is a privately owned UK company. We tend to view ourselves as small enough to care but big enough to make a difference with our products and our voice. Operating from our Yorkshire home we reach out across the world with our own International network of Licensees backed by technical expertise gained from over 40 years of supply, installation and validation.
Our Contact Us page details our International Partners, if your territory isn't represented then we can still deliver direct to you, you could also be the new partner that we are looking for to promote our Grasscrete system. For construction consultants we are able to provide Fit for Purpose design assistance from concept to completion. It might interest you to know that our vocabulary does include "no" when it comes to questions of product suitability.
Our aim with the website is to provide a knowledge portal from which you can hopefully build up the specification for your need. If the information that you require can't be found then please contact us - the chances are that we will be able to say "here's one we did earlier".

Over the last 50 years Grass Concrete Ltd has set the benchmark for sustainable environmental building products.
Innovative and ground breaking products that introduced a greener more environmental landscape.
It all started back in 1970 when Yorkshire architect Jack Blackburn invented a unique type of grass paving, known as Grasscrete and the company Grass Concrete Ltd was established.
The unique grass paving design of Grasscrete was ground-breaking at that time.
Slowly but surely the construction world took notice and quickly became converts to the benefits of grass paving.

With no benchmark standardisation in place the selection of an appropriate grass paver can sometimes make for a difficult decision.
This isn't helped by misleading performance claims made by some of our competitors.
Here at Grass Concrete Limited we have adopted a no nonsense approach towards our customers requests for information.
With a complete range of systems we are able to focus upon the most "appropriate" rather than the most "available".
We don't for instance over emphasise barely relevant laboratory bench tests to suggest the load bearing capability of plastic pavers, that are then laid in a wholly different environment and loading scenario.

Grassblock was designed to overcome some of the difficulties associated with early pre-cast systems.
A level upper surface provides a safer walking platform and a lower level of traffic vibration than is often associated with studded blocks.
The interconnecting lugs help to form a tight interaction with neighbouring blocks to limit movement.
A further benefit comes from the continuous concrete surround to each soil pocket.
This feature makes Grassblock ideal for slope protection works helping to prevent soil from being washed down the slope.

A plastic system developed in the USA in the 1980's and available from us under our exclusive European Licence.
An interlocking honeycomb structure, enabling a grass cover in excess of 90%.
The system offers the ideal solution where a low visible intrusion and occasional use is required.
Grassroad can be complemented by use of our dry-fix Grasskerb edge restraints; providing a low cost and visually sympathetic solution.

For grass roof/green roof technology to have a significant beneficial effect on our environment then it has to become an "everyday" specification that is easily available for use on both new and existing buildings.
A key factor in achieving widespread use is the simplicity of the system and how it is installed.
Grassroof now combines with our new Regarm, a re-cycled moisture retaining blanket that feeds roots and at the same time reduce the volume and rate of water draining from roof tops.
Regarm is used for Extensive, Simple Intensive and Intensive applications.
