INTRODUCTION:  What is Grasstrac?

Grasstrac® is heavy duty wire mesh with torsioned flat wire reinforcement. It is used for load distribution in applications where driving or parking on turf is desirable. Grasstrac® comes in large rolls of various widths for quick and easy installation with limited equipment. The Grasstrac® system can be installed over existing turf for the same long lasting service.

Grasstrac® performs under most conditions, including sandy soil and areas that often become muddy. When aesthetics are a consideration, such as historical locations where paved lots or emergency lanes interfere with the mood and authenticity of the site, Grasstrac® is a perfect solution - lawns and meadows can double as parking areas.
