An easy-lay turf protection system from Netlon is now available from selected Travis Perkins landscape centres across the UK .

Netpave 25 is a clip-together plastic paving system which protects turf from both human and light vehicle traffic. The half metre square paver units are designed to be laid on top of existing grass and simply clip together to form a stable ground surface. Once laid, the grass grows through and the pavers virtually disappear.

Since its launch last year Netpave 25 has been widely employed in applications such as parking and access routes, but until recently the system was only available for larger-scale projects. Now the Netpave 25 system is available through selected branches of Travis Perkins in quantities down to individual pavers, making it ideal for applications of any size.

Netpave 25 has enjoyed tremendous success over the past year, as landscape architects, specifiers and contractors are increasingly realising its potential for use in parking areas, driveways, footpaths, cycle routes, access routes and other occasional use grassed areas.

“Netpave 25 has proved a hugely popular product for all kinds of applications,” said Ronnie Doctor, Netlon's Business Manager. “It is now well proven in use and we felt that the potential uses were so numerous that we really wanted to make it available to contractors and individuals working on smaller scale projects as well. We are delighted that we are now able to do this through Travis Perkins.”

The inherent flexibility of the Netpave system means it can be laid on undulating surfaces and gradient to provide an attractive and durable solution to the provision of car parks, pathways and access routes . The system offers a low-cost turf protection solution with an aesthetically attractive end result and no need for disruptive excavation work.

Blackburn-based Netlon offers the UK 's most comprehensive range of turf protection solutions. The company has developed a range of technologies and products to improve the capabilities of grassed areas to withstand heavy and intensive wear. In addition to Netpave 25 the range includes products designed to cater for a wide variety of turf protection situations, from a lightweight protective mesh capable of coping with light traffic, to an engineered turf system and more permanent paving, both capable of handling even heavy goods vehicles.

Netlon's experience covers a wide range of applications including access routes, car parks, sports fields, events and amenity areas, helicopter landing pads, aircraft taxiways, and even land sculptures.
