Funke 'Golpla'
Grass reinforcement
Golpla is the leading grass reinforcement product on the market, for use on areas required for car parking, access roads, footpaths, etc.
The foundation required is dictated by prevailing ground conditions, as well as the weight of the vehicles to be carried etc., but will typically consist of a layer of crushed stone followed by a layer of rootzone (sand/soil mix), over which the GOLPLA is laid and then infilled with topsoil and seeded.
The Golpla system is permeable and will permit a permanent green sward to be sustained. Golpla is frequently stone filled, to maintain drainage as well as preventing compaction and migration. Golpla can be delivered pre-grown with fully established grass for instant effect.'
