ECCOdal grass pavers are frost-resistant down to -20°C, have a size of 80 × 80 cm so you install faster than with smaller pavers on the market, and are proven to withstand up to 600 tonnes/m². TÜV-certified, produced in Belgium, available as ECCOdal 40 (4 cm) and ECCOdal 50 (5 cm).
ECCOdal is the grass grid for a green, stable and permeable surface. It is made from 100% recycled material, bears the TÜV certification mark and comes in a convenient 80 x 80 cm format for quick installation.
-
Load-bearing up to 600 tonnes/m²
ECCOdal supports total weights up to 16 tonnes and axle loads up to 10 tonnes (DIN 14090:2023-05), and, depending on the infill, can bear loads of up to 600 tonnes/m². This makes the grass grid suitable for through-traffic by trucks, fire lanes and heavily loaded driveways and parking areas. TÜV-certified for proven quality and durability.
-
Belgian product, delivered quickly and easy to install
ECCO grass pavers are produced from A to Z in Belgium. This enables fast delivery and guarantees strict quality control. The 80 × 80 cm (0.64 m²) format is larger than most grass pavers on the market, allowing a parking area or path to be installed more quickly. The slabs are still light enough to be handled by one person.
-
Frost-resistant down to -20°C in 100% recycled material
The blend of recycled PE-PP remains flexible at low temperatures, down to -20°C. Grass grids made of other materials can crack or warp in freezing weather: ECCOdal won’t. The expansion joints also absorb thermal stress during high summer temperatures, keeping the structure stable all year round.

Technical specifications ECCOdal
ECCOdal grass pavers are manufactured in Belgium and tested for compressive strength and durability. The compressive strength is certified by TÜV (DIN 14090:2023-05). The values in the table below serve as a reference; the actual load-bearing capacity depends on the type of infill and the quality of the sub-base.

ECCO parking stoppers
A grass parking area looks green and tidy, but without clear markings vehicles quickly end up parking outside the bays. On grass pavers, traditional road markings aren’t an option. The ECCOdal marking caps are designed to define parking bays on ECCOdal grass pavers. With their vertical clamping ribs, the caps stay firmly in place, even under heavy use.

Frequently asked questions
-
May I drive over ECCOdal grass pavers?
Yes, provided there is a proper foundation.
ECCOdal grass pavers are designed to reinforce green areas so that, if necessary, vehicles can drive over them without completely tearing up the grass. Typical applications are fire lanes, parking areas and driveways to a carport where people park a trailer. With the right foundation, ECCOdal can also withstand occasional heavy traffic, and the foundation can be designed to also handle runoff from the driveways.
What to avoid
In places that are used very intensively or where speeds above 10 km/h are reached, we recommend constructing the driven-over areas in a bound material such as asphalt or concrete.
-
Can gravel also be placed in ECCOdal grass pavers?
In theory, it’s possible, but it’s not recommended. Grass and gravel require opposite approaches:
- For grass you need a grass grid where roots can easily take hold. For gravel you actually want to prevent weed growth, among other things by using an anti-root weed-control fabric.
- Grass grids have larger openings to make sowing easier. Gravel mats have smaller openings so the gravel stays in place better.
For gravel applications, we recommend ECCOgravel gravel mats.
-
Is the ECCOdal suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes, the ECCO valley is perfectly suitable for wheelchair users.
-
Up to and including which traffic class can the ECCOdal grass pavers be used?
The ECCOdal with a height of 4 cm is suitable for load class B (normal load, light traffic), and the ECCOdal with a height of 5 cm is suitable for load class A (intensive load).
-
What type of grass can I use for ECCOdal grass pavers?
We recommend grass seeds that root deeply and are therefore better able to withstand dry periods. Your grass seed supplier can provide you with more information about this.
