NDS · Tufftrack Grassroad Pavers · Model TT-24

NDS Tufftrack Grassroad Pavers turn grass into a surface that carries vehicles. Rigid 2' × 2' panels clip together top-down and fill with topsoil and seed, or with gravel. A webbed cell base spreads the load and stops the panel cutting into the ground. Each panel carries 120 nested honeycomb cells with shared walls, rated to H-20 and H-25 loading, so it carries fire trucks and emergency vehicles while turf grows through. The pick for emergency access roads, parking lots, cart and jogging paths, and driveway widening.

01 Engineered for strength

Engineered For Strength

Tufftrack Grassroad Pavers are manufactured in rigid 24" square panels for maximum strength. Unfilled compressive strength is 86,563 psf, rising to 400,000 lbs once the cells are filled with native soil, and the panel is rated for H-20 and H-25 loading — enough to carry fire trucks while turf grows through. The cells are moulded in polypropylene containing recycled content and treated with UV inhibitors, making these pavers a sustainable alternative in high-traffic areas that would otherwise be covered with asphalt or concrete.

The large 2' × 2' panel installs faster and more easily than smaller pavers on the market, and the TT-24 has been trusted for over ten years in both residential and commercial applications. It is commonly used to widen residential driveways for additional vehicle parking.

04 Where it gets used

Recommended Applications

Tufftrack is an alternative to concrete and asphalt, creating a durable, drivable grass surface that carries heavy vehicles while blending into the surroundings. Best used where the subsoil infiltrates water.

Emergency vehicle access roads Fire lanes Parking lots Overflow parking lots Golf cart paths Jogging tracks Bike paths ATV paths Equestrian parks Trail reinforcement Runoff areas Residential driveways Driveway widening Truck maintenance yards Equipment yards Construction entrances

05 Panel design

Features And Benefits

Tongue-and-groove locking system

Ten unique clips and 22 connection points per panel give exceptional stability and prevent paver displacement. Panels lock together top-down with no tools required.

120 nested honeycomb cells

Interconnected hexagonal cells share walls for higher strength, and the cell wall height protects the turf root system underneath.

Domed drainage holes

Domed holes at the base of each cell promote a greater flow of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the soil below.

Support ribs and chemical resistance

Support ribs hold the soil infill in place, and the polypropylene cells offer superior chemical resistance with UV inhibitors to prevent cracking.

06 Before you order

Installation

  • Tufftrack is laid over a prepared base. The build-up depends on the load class — see the installation diagram and the CAD detail that matches your application. NDS also publishes a No Sub Base detail for applications that allow it.
  • Best used in areas where the subsoil infiltrates water. Poor draining soil may require an underdrain.

Installation overview

  1. Lay pavers out over the prepared base. Set the panels in position across the area.
  2. Clip the panels together. Use the tongue-and-groove locking system to join them into an integral paver mat.
  3. Add soil infill. Fill the cells, then top with sod or seed. See the technical guide for details.
  4. Check periodically. Inspect for damage and replace individual panels as needed; see the maintenance and operation guide.
Load capacity depends on the full section, not just the panel. The panel is rated to H-20 and H-25, but for fire lanes and emergency access follow the CAD detail that matches your load class and confirm depth and establishment requirements with your local authority.

08 Why specify it

Environmental And Competitive Benefits

Environmental benefits

  • Permeable surfaces eliminate or reduce stormwater runoff.
  • Stormwater filters naturally through the subsurface, reducing pollutants.
  • Urban Heat Island effect is mitigated, as grass does not absorb as much heat energy as traditional hardscapes.
  • Cells are moulded in polypropylene containing recycled content, and are 100% recyclable.
  • Pavers slow erosion and recharge groundwater by letting water absorb into the ground.
  • May contribute to points for LEED certification.

Competitive benefits

  • Unique tongue-and-groove clips are extremely easy to install, cutting installation time in half and reducing labor costs.
  • The reinforced grass root zone is protected by a gridwork of hexagonal cells, allowing healthy grass growth under strenuous conditions.
  • Built for durability, with a life expectancy of 25 years when well maintained.
  • Superior chemical resistance, with UV inhibitors to prevent cracking.
  • Tufftrack reduces demands put on the landscape drainage system.
  • Less expensive to maintain over time than traditional hardscaping.

09 After establishment

Maintenance

  • Mow per turf species; avoid scalping.
  • Fertilize and irrigate as needed; good drainage moderates watering.
  • Inspect for damaged panels or worn turf after heavy use; individual panels can be replaced.
  • Overseed high-traffic zones periodically to maintain cover.

10 Design note

Infill And Subsoil Drainage

Cells are filled with soil and topped with sod or seed. Tufftrack works best where the subsoil actually infiltrates water — that is what carries the runoff away and keeps the root zone healthy. On poor-draining soils, plan for an underdrain rather than relying on infiltration alone.

Edge restraint is worth adding at perimeters and wherever traffic transitions to another surface, to hold alignment and protect the turf edge.

11 Case study

Turning An Event Venue Overflow Lot Into Drivable Lawn

Project
An outdoor wedding venue using its lawn as overflow parking.
Problem
After storms the lawn rutted under cars, leaving mud, turf damage, and repeated reseeding costs.
Solution
A 6" compacted aggregate base was installed, Tufftrack panels were clipped together across the lot, then infilled with a sand and soil mix and seeded with a durable turf grass.
Results
No rutting or mud through a full season of rainy events. Guests park on green grass with no visible grid, and maintenance costs dropped — no reseeding or lawn repair required.

19 Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pavers do I need?
Each TT-24 panel is 2' × 2' and covers 4 square feet. Divide your total area by 4 for panel count, then add for cuts and waste around curves and edges.
Do I need an aggregate base?
Tufftrack goes over a prepared base, and the build-up depends on the load class. NDS publishes CAD details for light, medium and fire/heavy load, plus a No Sub Base detail. Check the installation diagram for your application, and note that poor-draining soil may need an underdrain.
Can Tufftrack handle fire trucks?
Yes. The panel is rated for H-20 and H-25 loading, with an unfilled compressive strength of 86,563 psf rising to 400,000 lbs once the cells are filled with native soil. Build to the fire and heavy load detail and confirm requirements with your local authority.
Can I fill it with gravel instead of grass?
NDS specifies soil infill topped with sod or seed for the TT-24. If you want a gravel surface, use the EZ Roll Gravel Paver GP4X150, or the 13" Tufftrack Gravel-Grass paver, both of which are built for aggregate infill.
Will the plastic grid show?
Once grass is fully established or gravel is filled to the top, the grid is essentially invisible.
How do the panels connect?
Ten tongue-and-groove clips and 22 connection points per panel. Panels lock together top-down with no tools required, forming an integral paver mat that resists displacement.
Can I install it on a slope?
Yes. Support ribs let stakes be driven through to hold the panels in position on a slope. Confirm the detail for your grade and load class.
How does TT-24 differ from EZ Roll?
TT-24 is a rigid 2' × 2' panel with 120 honeycomb cells, clipped together into a mat and rated H-20/H-25. EZ Roll is a flexible roll that covers large areas faster but requires a 4"–6" compacted aggregate base. Pick TT-24 for the higher load classes and panel-by-panel repairability, EZ Roll for speed across big open areas.
How long does it last?
NDS gives a life expectancy of 25 years when well maintained. The polypropylene cells carry UV inhibitors to prevent cracking and offer superior chemical resistance.
What does shipping cost?
Nothing — shipping is free on all orders. See the transit map above for approximate ground delivery times.
