This guide is for homeowners, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts looking to create stable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing gravel or grass surfaces. The KetoPlastics Gravel Grass Grid offers a professional-grade solution for ground reinforcement, preventing erosion, pooling, and surface damage. A key benefit is its heavy-duty plastic construction and interlocking design for easy installation and long-term stability. One caveat is that the cell size requires appropriate infill material (gravel or soil/grass seed) to function effectively.

Their main purpose is to reinforce ground surfaces, preventing gravel from scattering, reducing rut formation on driveways, and strengthening grass areas to support loads without damage.
Four grids are required to cover 1 square meter, as each grid measures 500mm x 500mm.
While designed to interlock, cutting is possible with appropriate tools if minor adjustments are needed. However, ensure cut edges are managed to prevent fraying or sharp points.
Angular crushed stone or gravel with a particle size suitable for the 55mm x 55mm cell dimensions is recommended. Avoid very fine dust or rounded pebbles that might not lock effectively.
Yes, when installed correctly on a prepared sub-base, they are designed for heavy-duty use, including driveways and parking areas for domestic vehicles.
Each grid panel is 40mm thick.
Manufactured from durable plastic, they offer a long lifespan. Their permeable design promotes natural drainage, reducing water runoff issues.
Ensure the edges of the grids are clean and free from debris. Check for any warping or damage on the interlocking tabs. Try aligning them more carefully and applying firm pressure.
The ground preparation may not have been sufficient, or the infill material was not compacted evenly. Check that the initial base was level and re-compact the infill material, ensuring it fills all cells and is flush with the grid tops.
This can occur if the underlying ground or sub-base is not adequately draining, or if the infill material is too fine and preventing water passage. Ensure the sub-base has a slight gradient for drainage and that the infill is permeable.
The cells may not be filled sufficiently, or the infill material is too small and easily displaced. Top up the cells with more gravel, ensuring it is level with the top of the grids, and consider using a slightly larger gravel size.
Setup:
Compatibility:
The grids are compatible with standard gravels, crushed stone, and soil for grass seeding. Ensure the infill particle size is suitable for the 55mm x 55mm cell dimensions.
Care:
These grids are manufactured from durable plastic and require minimal care. Regular sweeping of loose debris is recommended. For grass areas, maintain as you would a normal lawn (mowing, watering). The permeable nature allows for natural drainage, so no special drainage care is typically required.
