ACO GroundGuard Creates Highly Durable, yet Versatile Landscapes
When you need an option for versatile landscaping, GroundGuard fits the bill perfectly. Created and manufactured by draining and landscaping specialists ACO Technologies, GroundGuard permits you to create beautiful landscaping, that is versatile, durable and attractive. Designed as a way of stabilizing and reinforcing any landscaping, it can withstand high loads, even under constant use.
The secret to GroundGuard's success is that it is 90 percent open space. The open grid "honeycomb" structure is made of recycled polymers, tinted green. These highly rugged 4 cm thick tiles are easily cut and interlocking; yet can support up to 250 tons per square meter. Try that with a normal grass lawn.
While normal grass lawns are easily damaged by people walking on them, lawns made using the GroundGuard stabilizing system can not only be walked on, but driven on my cars, trucks and even buses. The secret is that the polymer tiles support the weight of whatever is passing over the lawn, allowing the grass to stay in the open areas of the tiles, where it is protected.
Obviously, a well prepared base under the GroundGuard tiles is necessary if one is planning on driving trucks and buses over it, but normal pedestrian and automobile traffic requires little preparation before installing the tiles.
GroundGuard can be used just as readily with gravel filler as with grass, creating gravel walkways and parking pads where the gravel won't move as you drive over it. By filling the GroundGuard tiles with 10mm gravel of any color you choose, you create a nicely designed pathway that almost has the visual effect of tile.
Since the tiles are easily cut, you are not limited in the design of your landscaping; sweeping curves and circles around trees are just as easy to create as straight walkways and parking pads. By using AGO's matching BorderGuard together with the GroundGuard system, you can run grass right up to the edge of gravel walkways, with an almost invisible border line between them. Best of all, you can drive over both of these adjacent surfaces as if they were one.
Another great advantage of GroundGuard over hard landscaping alternatives is the improved drainage that GroundGuard provides. Instead of staying above the hard surface, water readily drains through the GroundGuard tiles, soaking into the topsoil below. This helps reduce the risk of flooding, caused by hard rainfall. Supplementary drainage systems are unnecessary, as the GroundGuard system acts as its own drainage system.
