Eliminates digging, and grass is guaranteed to grow no matter how high the traffic.

I plan to use it around my fence line and in high traffic areas at the new house.

never used it, but it looks good. Is it $$$$?
I wonder if you can get it in Canada

I'd be a little afraid to use it where dogs run a lot. Of course, I could be missing something regarding installation, but my worry would be the dog getting caught in one of those little honeycombs at a high rate of speed and being injured.

From the pic, it looked like you install grass plugs into the honeycombs, but I guess if you just put top soil in them and overlayed sod, you wouldn't have to worry about them being tripping hazards.

Oops (blush) looked at the installation page and one does indeed fill and overlay.

Hope they work for you!

MOM, you have to excavate, put in gravel, and set the GPs on top of the gravel.

Then you fill with soil, and seed grass once it's all filled in. Once the grass grows, you cannot see or tell the GPs are there.

It is supposed to be as durable as ASPHALT. Grass is guaranteed to grow. They use this in lots of horse paddocks!

Durable as asphalt with the springiness of turf. Sounds perfect!

Wish I had known about it when I had dogs.... the yard along my fenceline was grooved! Grass still grew in it, but it was sad, mashed flat, discolored grass.

I get bare ground in dryer weather, and 3" of muck in wet weather.

NO MORE.....

It also will COMPLETELY ELIMINATE digging.



That in itself qualifies it as a miracle product for me. LOL

I've never used or seen this product before but it looks great and an excellent for back and front yard diggers

Wow, no digging. Wow.

*looks outside at the whole the beagle dug that is a deap as she is tall*
*shakes head*

Can you get it in Canada? How much per foot does it cost?

Red your yard sounds like mine. Until last year we had HUGE trees along the backline of the yard. Nothing would grow but moss. We had a bunch of them taken out last year and got some grass growing, then put in a small above ground pool, right were the grass was doing well. Go figure. All winter now it's been mostly dirt. Not bad when it's dry or frozen, horrible when it's rainy. My goal is to have some semblence of grass this year. Our fenced area is about half of our back yard. We couldn't afford to do the entire thing when we got it installed so we went from the edge of the house straight back, and left a large area on the side/back that was unfenced that already had great grass. This year the plan is to redo the fence and include that part of the yard, which will pretty much double our space for the dogs- it will be more than 1/3 of an acre fenced in at that point. Hopefully that spreads the traffic out enough that we can get some foliage!
