The following home trend post, have a title ‘Environmentally Friendly Grass Block‘. The use of stucco to concrete or asphalt pavement carport home or public parking areas to bring adverse effects to the environment. Concrete is made from waterproof materials, so that rainwater can not be absorbed by the soil. Eventually the water will be increasingly difficult to obtain. Conscious of the environment makes a lot of people use the grass instead of concrete block and asphalt. So, what exactly it is called grass block?

We may still be able to answer when asked about the paving block or con-block. But most certainly do not know when asked about the grass block. Grass block actually not a new in its usages. But most people equate with grass block paving block. It was not entirely wrong, because the grass did block one type of paving block. The author is also the same material that is a mixture of aggregate stone dust, screenings (small box-sized stones 2-3 mm), sand, and cement. The difference lies precisely in its shape. Paving block shaped solid, while the grass blocks have holes for soil and grass so that the areas that are closed fewer pavement. This is very good for maintaining the balance between amplification and greening.

Block-making material grass has a high enough absorption so it is more resistant to weather changes. This material is not easily perforated-hole like that in concrete is often exposed to rain, and also more heat resistant when exposed to sunlight. If damaged or loose, damaged parts can be removed and replaced with new ones without having to disassemble the entire area; more practical and efficient. Actual damage or block the outbreak was not caused by grass grass block the bad quality, but more due to improper installation. Therefore before installing grass block, first the ground must be leveled and compacted so as not sagged. Uneven soil can cause brittle grass block.

Block the appearance of a very natural grass suitable for use on the front porch, carport, or other areas that require amplification wide enough, but still want to look green. Even now people start to use it in the park, especially in the gardens of Japan-style. Trampled tasty but still environmentally friendly.
