In this blog post, we are talking specifically about TurfStone and why it is an excellent choice for your driveways and walkways. We will go over the benefits of TurfStone so that you can be as informed as possible as you make your paver decision.

Environmental Benefits

TurfStone has a positive impact on the local environment in several ways.

Permeability is one of TurfStone’s most attractive features. The design allows rainwater to pass through the pavers’ surface, which helps eliminate water runoff and resupply rainwater.

Turfstone also benefits the environment by reducing the amount of heat in a given area. Unlike traditional asphalt or concrete, the open grid design of Turfstone allows you to plant grass or another ground cover in the pavers. Green spaces contribute to biodiversity and also make your area less heated.

Durability and Maintenance

One of the other major benefits of TurfStone is that it is durable and easy to maintain. TurfStone has ideal resistance to cracking and weathering for the varied climate of the Pacific Northwest.

TurfStone requires constant maintenance. Occasionally, you may need to weed the area or reseed your grass or ground cover. However, compared to traditional paver surfaces, it is much simpler to keep up.

Aesthetic Appeal

The unique design of TurfStone and the way it blends with natural landscape makes it visually appealing for all kinds of driveways and walkways. It is also easy to customize—you can easily select your preference of materials such as gravel or grass to fill it with.

Installation Process

After all of these benefits, it almost seems too much to ask for Turfstone to be easy to DIY, but it is very accessible if you like to tackle projects yourself. It is easy to install, much like regular paving stones. You simply install a non-woven geotextile, paver base, and biaxial geogrid before you install the actual stones.

Cost-Effectiveness

Finally, TurfStone is a cost-effective option for you. It’s durability and low maintenance demands make it an option that saves you money in the long term.

Although there can be a larger cost up-front, the benefits of using eco-friendly hardscape materials and ease of maintenance make TurfStone cost-effective over the long term.
