Waters India, Bengaluru: courtyard lawn and paved squares

What we supply

  • S2 in natural, black, white or laterite chips.
  • S3 grass pavers for lawns that carry cars.
  • S1 cement-treated gravel for estate parking.
  • S4 honeycomb-finish concrete for walkways, on request: we supply the grid and train your contractor; the concrete, pigmented where the design calls for colour, is by the client.
  • For a whole estate: MLP boards for site cabins and for boundary-wall panels in a frame your engineer designs, with a Cool Green Wall on the wall.

Why it is used

  • Finish to taste.
  • Rain goes through the S2 and S3 areas.
  • S2 opens the same day; S3 takes cars once the grass is established (4–6 weeks).

Design concept

A villa estate in GridMats: a design concept

From a recent proposal for a 12-villa estate: one GridMats palette from the gate to the villas. A 3 m mid-path in S4 coloured concrete with grass strips between the bays; 4,000 sq ft of parking in S1 cement-treated gravel, or S3 grass and soil for green visitor bays; site cabins in MLP boards; and a 10 ft boundary wall, 8 ft of MLP panels under a 2 ft security fence, with a Cool Green Wall on its inner face. The wall’s panels, frame, posts, footings and wind loads are for your engineer to design.
