Why Plastic Grids are better than Block Paving, Concrete, or Tarmac for Sloping Driveways

Building a driveway on a slope comes with its own set of challenges. Water runoff, erosion, and surface stability are all things you have to think about. While traditional driveway materials like block paving, concrete, and tarmac have been popular for years, they are not always the best option for slopes. More and more people are turning to plastic grids, which offer a simple and effective solution for sloping driveways. When combined with gabion baskets as side retainers, this setup can solve many of the problems that come with sloping driveways.

Benefits of using plastic grids for shed bases

Using plastic grids for a shed base can be beneficial for a number of reasons.

Plastic grids are lightweight and easy to handle, making them simple to transport and install. They can be cut to size and fit around any obstacles, such as tree roots or uneven ground.
