TT-24 Grass Pavers are commonly used to widen residential driveways for additional vehicle parking.
Large 2' x 2' size allows for a faster and easier installation than other smaller pavers on the market.
Trusted for 10+ years in residential & commercial applications
Engineered for Strength
Tufftrack Grassroad Pavers are manufactured in rigid 24" square panels for maximum strength. With a compressive strength of 81,744 psf, Tufftrack pavers stabilize the soil to support heavy vehicles like fire trucks while allowing turf to grow. Manufactured from 100% recycled HDPE, these turf pavers are a sustainable solution for areas of high traffic that might otherwise be covered with asphalt or concrete.
Recommended Applications: Fire lanes, emergency vehicle access roads, truck maintenance and equipment yards, construction entrance soil stabilization, truck & cart wash-down areas, RV & boat access and parking, residential driveways, parking lots, overflow parking lots, roadways shoulders, runoff areas, equestrian parks, and erosion control.

With a compressive strength of 81,744 psf empty, Tufftrack provides a permeable surface that is strong enough to support heavy loads such as fire trucks in grassy fire lanes.
Offset application to withstand heavy loads
Tongue and groove clip design for easy installation
By preventing compaction of the soil in load-bearing applications, Tufftrack pavers allow grass to grow in areas that would otherwise be covered with asphalt.
New Features & Benefits
New Clip Design: The new Tufftrack paver panels feature a sturdy clip designed to make top-down installation easy. Simply place the male clips of one panel onto the female clips of the adjacent panel and push down to lock in place.
Webbed Cell Design: The new NDS Tufftrack™ is designed with a webbed cell that keeps fill material in place, lifting the cells while still creating an environment that allows for root growth through the cell. This makes the Tufftrack™ paver ideal for grass applications. Additionally, the new webbed design provides stability for installation on slopes allowing stakes to be driven ribs.
Installation
The TT-24 grass pavers can be placed either directly over soil with our without a sub aggregate base. See diagram below for specific application installation recommendations.
TT-24 Grass Pavers feature a webbed bottom to keep the paver from "cookie cutting" through the soil.

Environmental Benefits
Permeable surfaces eliminate or reduce stormwater runoff
Stormwater filters naturally through subsurface, reducing pollutants
Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is mitigated as grass does not absorb as much heat energy as traditional hardscapes
Pavers are made of 100% recycled plastic
Competitive Benefits
Unique tongue-and-groove clips are extremely easy to install, cutting installation time in half and reducing labor costs.
The reinforced grass root zone is protected by a grid work of hexagonal cells, allowing for healthy grass growth under strenuous conditions.
Tufftrack reduces demands put on landscape drainage system.
Utilizing Tufftrack is less expensive to maintain over time than traditional hardscaping.
Tufftrack provides a more pleasing aesthetic than traditional hardscaping.

NDS Tufftrack Grass Pavers: An Overview
NDS Tufftrack™ Grass Pavers are a heavy-duty, interlocking grid system made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) designed to
support vehicular traffic while maintaining a living grass surface. From fire lanes to overflow parking, they provide a permeable,
eco-friendly solution that blends durability with sustainability.

What Are Tufftrack Grass Pavers?
Tufftrack pavers are 4' x 4' interlocking panels with a load-bearing honeycomb structure. Once placed on a compacted base and
filled with topsoil and grass seed (or gravel), they distribute heavy loads across a wide area—supporting cars, trucks, and even
emergency vehicles without rutting or soil compaction.
Plain-English takeaway: They turn turf into a traffic-ready surface. Your lawn looks green, but underneath is a reinforced
structure strong enough for fire trucks.

Key Benefits of Tufftrack
Heavy-duty load capacity: Handles loads up to 98,770 lbs per axle (H-20 load rated).Eco-friendly design: Provides permeable surfaces that reduce stormwater runoff.Quick installation: Large 4' x 4' panels speed coverage with fewer connections.Versatile infill: Works with grass for a natural look, or gravel for low-maintenance areas.Durability: Manufactured from UV-stabilized HDPE for long service life.
Best-Fit Applications
Fire lanes and emergency access roads
Overflow and event parking areas
Residential driveways and RV parking pads
Park paths, golf course access, and utility lanes
Erosion control on embankments or slopes
Commercial parking lot reinforced with Tufftrack
How to Install Tufftrack Grass Pavers
Excavate and prepare base: Remove topsoil, excavate to required depth, and compact aggregate base per design load.Place panels: Lay Tufftrack grids directly on the base; interlock edges by snapping panels together.Infill: Fill cells with topsoil/seed blend for green surfaces or gravel for low-maintenance options.Compact and water: Lightly compact filled cells to settle infill, then water if seeding.Establish surface: Allow grass to establish before heavy use, or top off gravel as needed.
Pro tip: For fire lanes, check local codes for required soil depths and grass establishment timelines.
Case Study: Transforming an Event Venue Overflow Lot
Location: Outdoor wedding venue with grass overflow parking. Problem: After storms, the lawn rutted under cars,
leaving mud, damage, and costly reseeding.
Solution
Excavated and installed a 6" compacted aggregate base.
Placed NDS Tufftrack pavers over the base, interlocking 4' x 4' panels across the entire lot.
Infilled with a sand/soil mix and seeded with durable turf grass.
Results (First Season)
No rutting or mud issues even after multiple rainy events.
Guests parked directly on green grass with no visible plastic grid.
Maintenance costs dropped significantly—no reseeding or lawn repair required.
FAQs
Can Tufftrack handle fire trucks?
Yes—Tufftrack is H-20 load rated, capable of supporting fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.
Will the plastic grid show?
Once grass is fully established or gravel is filled to the top, the grid becomes nearly invisible.
How long does it last? Tufftrack is manufactured from UV-stabilized HDPE, engineered for long service life under demanding conditions.
