Grass and Cement Brick Driveway

Postby Francis-udon » May 23, 2011, 10:51 am

Has anyone seen cement driveway bricks for sale around Udon? The bricks can be filled with sand and short growing grass. I was thinking it would be a nice alternative to plain cement or asphalt driveways.

Grass and Cement Brick Driveway

Hi,
Drive ways need not be plain. A lot of people use a cement base and then They use a fine pebble mix, of different colours with a design incorperated. This design on most of the ones i have seen, consists of a double circle with a star in the center. You can also create your own design. With this method you have a none slip surface when it is wet. Very good and hard wearing. Plus mantance is very little. I just use a high pressure hose on mine. Less work the better.
A good system i have seen when visiting heritage sights back home, and they don't want to put concrete down, is a type of metal latice, excuse spelling, work so that the grass grows through, so you don't see the metal netting. this is used in the car parks where they want to keep the sight looking like it did a few hundred years ago. But still requires cutting of grass and weeding.
Cheers Doug.

The manafacturing plant is located in Chonburi, but if you contact them they might know of a local distributor in the Udon area.

fine if one could find "short growing grass". Not sure otherwise could cut except with weed wacker, or one of those air mowers. Speaking of, have not seen any of late. Think it will end up weeds. Not a good idea, me think. :( Hell for women with heels!

Francis I believe you can buy them at Home Mart located on the ring road just across from Global House.
