Default Grasscrete

Funnily enough, this is what the council are already putting in the original plans and we will have around 12 spaces in the first instance. We are looking at alternative options, which personally will be less expensive for the additional area where we wish to expand into.

Thanks for the suggestion though, we always welcome ideas to help us improve our club.

Grasscrete allows grass to grow through and still allows a surface for vehicles to drive on. It's not too good if the area gets waterlogged though - which would have to be checked out. We use it for access roads on reservoirs etc where the planning conditions dictate that the finished appearance should look like a grass area. Hope this is of use.
