The new legislation about permeable surfaces in front gardens makes good practice a legal requirement. Instead of reaching for porous blocks or paving stones, why not think about fibre reinforced turf (FRT) as - quite literally - a greener solution?

Fibre reinforced turf is the very best kind of permeable surface for front gardens and driveways - not to mention airfields.

Fibre reinforced turf is grown in a sand dominant rootzone and is reinforced with polypropylene fibres so that the turf can be driven on without ruts forming. It looks and feels (and drains!) like ordinary turf because it is ordinary turf - but with extra load bearing capacity. Fibre reinforced turf is ideal not only where hard standing is needed but provides an altogether better solution aesthetically and environmentally for access roads for emergency services.

A powerful variant of FRT is formed by laying Rhizomatous Tall Fescue on top of a reinforced rootzone. This has very deep roots and is incredibly resistant to wear, shade, drought and flood - even without reinforcement.
