Grasscrete Paving
Our Grasscrete system combines reinforced concrete with vegetation for heavy-duty applications. This permeable solution reduces surface water runoff while maintaining structural integrity. Ideal for car parks, access roads, and embankments, it offers 50 years of proven performance in sustainable infrastructure projects.
Green Roof Systems
Modular green roofing solutions with integrated moisture retention technology. These systems enhance biodiversity, improve thermal insulation, and manage stormwater. Our Grassroof system includes recycled Regarm blankets that reduce soil depth requirements while optimising plant growth for new and retrofit projects.
Retaining Walls
Engineered earth-retaining systems combining structural support with vegetation. The Betoconcept range includes Betoatlas, Betoflor, and Leromur models for slopes, embankments, and landscaped areas. These walls promote greenery while providing essential structural support for various terrains.
Grassblock Installation
Precast concrete units designed for medium-load applications. Grassblock provides durable parking surfaces and landscaping solutions. This system balances structural requirements with environmental benefits through its grass-integrated design, suitable for both temporary and permanent installations.
Flood Control Measures
Comprehensive solutions for managing surface water runoff. Our permeable systems reduce flood risk through natural filtration and controlled water release. These measures align with sustainable urban drainage principles, offering both environmental and structural benefits for commercial and residential developments.
