Grass Concrete Limited is a UK based company dedicated to the promotion of Environmental Solutions to construction problems. The cornerstone of our development has been the unique Grasscrete permeable paving system that has become a world wide generic reference for reinforced grassed paving.
To match the reputation of Grasscrete and to meet the challenges of worldwide supply, we have a network of International Licensees and Agents to service your requirements. Although Grasscrete has remained very much at the forefront of our activity, it has been joined over the years by a range of products that offer environmental benefit.
Our commitment to clients includes free advice for project design, backed by a comprehensive portfolio of technical publications, Grasscrete provide solutions that are "Fit for Purpose". In the UK many of our products are supported by a laying service from our own Contracting Division.
OUR PRIMARY RANGE OF PRODUCTS ARE:
Grasscrete - Grass Paving System.
Reinforced grassed paving systems tend to be referred to in a number of different ways, including grass pavers, reinforced grass, turf pavers or even on very own Grasscrete system. Each of these terms can often be confusingly used as a generic reference for all available systems.
Here at Grass Concrete Limited we feel that we have the solution to that problem. Firstly we have the complete range of systems whether it be in concrete, plastic or geo-fabric system. Then we have a ’tell it as it is’ approach to our customers. This comes with technical design assistance and for UK projects an installation service by our own Contracts Division. Our grass reinforcement products include:

Grass Concrete Covers Qatar
Grass Concrete Covers Qatar
Wakefield based Grass Concrete Limited has established a new Licence for its Grasscrete and Grassroof paving systems with Urban Landscapes of Doha, Qatar.
The licence gives Urban Landscapes exclusive rights to sell into the vibrant Qatar construction and landscaping sector, where it has developed a strong reputation for innovation and delivery.
The Licence was signed at the Agriteq exhibition in Doha on the 21st March in the presence of Mr Peter Chamberlain the Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Doha.
Leading up to the Licence agreement Grass Concrete had already established a presence in Qatar with the supply of a large order for its Grasscrete system to the Al Bayt Stadium, scheduled to be a Semi-final venue for the 2022 World Cup Football Championships.
Speaking of this new agreement Grass Concrete’s owner and Managing Director Bob Howden OBE comments:
“Establishing a new international trading partnership can often be a long process of getting to know both the partner and the territory. It’s been rewarding therefore to find a partner in Qatar with such enthusiasm for our product range and with such connections to a dynamic local construction and landscaping sector.
With an ability to incorporate irrigation systems into its naturally grassed load-bearing structure Grasscrete’s potential in Qatar is significant and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with Urban Landscapes.”
