What is Gravel & Turf Cell

Address: 2/159 Mark Rd, CALOUNDRA, Queensland, 4551, AU
Telephone: 07 3171 3835

The material is lightweight, high strength interlocking plastic cell designed for the creation of grassed or gravel areas subject to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

The cells are used in the construction of emergency access, overflow parking, home driveways, pathways and slope stabilisation.

The cells have a porous structure allowing rainwater to infiltrate into the ground. The high load-bearing structure protects grass roots against compaction and effectively supports loads imposed by large vehicles.

The design offers large open base areas and high void spaces that promote and ensure healthy root development, suited for gravel containment.

Gravel & Turf Cell Applications

Stabilise turf and gravel in:

Emergency and firelane access areas
Vehicle parking lots in commercial developments, homes, sports complexes, festival grounds, churches etc
Golf cart paths
Street shoulder parking
Infield and pit areas
Drainage channels
Slope stabilisation and erosion control

Gravel And Turf Cell Features

More than 90% unrestricted root base area
40mm high cells that enhance vigorous root development
Notches in cells that allow unrestricted runner and root growth
Secure snap-on joining ensuring modules remain in place after installation
Ability to peg the sub-base on slopes and curves
Vertical webs that direct roots downward minimising girdling
High compressive strength (unfilled > 200 t/m²)
Flexible connecting grids ensuring modules conform to uneven surfaces
Snap-on joining allowing large panels to be pre-assembled off-site
Modules that allow rapid installation with minimal operator training and tools
Nesting design that halves storage and transport costs

Gravel And Turf Cell Benefits

Stabilized turf surfaces protected against erosion
Pleasant alternatives to asphalt and concrete surfaces
Groundwater recharge
Enhanced site appearance through “green” vegetation
Reduced need for stormwater conveyances and treatment systems
Minimised stormwater run-off
High water permeability
Increased effective utilizable area

Gravel And Turf Cell Installation

Is easily assembled requiring no special tools. The product conforms to odd shapes or profiles, and excess cells may be trimmed with simple cutting tools.

Prior to installation, calculate the area where is to be installed
Excavate and/or level the area
Install drainage systems, irrigation systems, and utility lines in the subgrade, as needed
Lay and compact a 2-10 mm gravel road base or washed paving sand to provide support for projected weight-bearing loads
Positioncells on the compacted gravel road base or paving sand
Cover the cells with a recommended sand soil mix for turf establishment
Apply recommended moisture, water retention agents and fertilizers
Place rolled turf, or hydro-seed onto the filled cells
Implement regular maintenance schedules
