On 17th August Grass Concrete celebrated its 50th anniversay.
It all started back in 1970 when Yorkshire architect Jack Blackburn invented a unique type of grass paving, known as Grasscrete, and the company Grass Concrete Ltd was established.
The unique grass paving design of Grasscrete was ground-breaking at the time. Slowly but surely the construction world took notice and quickly became converts to the benefits of grass paving.
Grasscrete immediately provided the benefits on flood, water and highways projects, and was seen to improve and enhance the environment, providing resilient and robust ground engineering.
With the company's increasing industry expertise came continuous product development and new products evolved including Grassblock, a precast grass paving alternative.
Grasscrete remains as resilient today as it was some 50 years ago, with 50-year-old projects still growing strong.
