NDS EZ Roll Grass Paver – an H-20 rated grass paver roll made from recycled plastic. Free shipping: most orders ship within 4 business days and arrive in 3 to 6 business days.
NDS rates the EZ Roll Grass Paver at 53,683 psf unfilled compressive strength, enough for H-20 and H-25 loads such as fire trucks; in NDS testing a filled paver carried 400,000 lb. Designed for superior load-bearing capacity, it supports high-traffic areas while promoting healthy turf growth.
How EZ Roll Grass Pavers Work
The NDS EZ Roll Grass Paver system allows light to heavy vehicular traffic over grass without causing damage. By stabilizing soil and preventing compaction, these pavers create a durable, long-lasting solution for areas subjected to foot and vehicle traffic. The grass root zone is reinforced and protected by a gridwork of hexagonal cells.
Each paver is manufactured in pre-assembled rolls with a lateral snap-lock system, making installation fast and tool-free.

Benefits of NDS EZ Roll Grass Pavers
- Supports healthy turf growth: prevents soil compaction and root damage
- High compressive strength: allows vehicles to drive over grass without sinking
- Reduces demands put on the landscape drainage system
- Less expensive to maintain over time than traditional hardscaping
- More pleasing aesthetically than traditional hardscaping
Stormwater Management & Sustainability
NDS EZ Roll Grass Pavers provide a green, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional paving methods. By protecting the root zone and preventing soil compaction, they allow grass to thrive where impervious hardscaping would typically be used. Designed as a sustainable alternative to concrete and asphalt, they help reduce water runoff and support LEED and green building initiatives.
- Permeable surfaces: these pavers eliminate or significantly reduce stormwater runoff, aiding in effective water management.
- Natural filtration: stormwater filters naturally through the subsurface, reducing pollutants and supporting environmental health.
EZ Roll Grass Paver Installation
Product ships in large rolls for easy installation. See the EZ Roll installation detail (PDF) and the step-by-step installation video below.
NDS EZ Roll Grass Paver installation tutorial: essential tips to ensure a successful installation.
Base Preparation
NDS recommends a compacted AASHTO #57 stone base sized to the traffic:
| Traffic | Minimum #57 stone base | Maximum grade |
|---|---|---|
| Foot traffic only | No base required | 3% |
| Golf carts and light loads | 4 in. | Not specified |
| Cars and pickup trucks | 6 in. | 10% |
| Fire trucks and heavy loads | 8 in. | 6% |
A non-woven geotextile under the base is optional. Poorly draining soil may need a perforated underdrain. Leave at least 1 in. of clearance at concrete edges.
Filling & Seeding: Choosing the Right Soil
Fill the cells with native topsoil, sandy loam or loam. NDS does not recommend sand, or native soil with a high clay content: clay holds water and starves the roots of air, and sand doesn't hold the turf. A well-draining sandy loam is the safe default.
- Fill from the outside in. Work from the edges toward the middle and avoid driving on empty pavers. If a loader or dump truck has to cross empty cells, keep it moving straight; sharp 90-degree turns can shift the panels.
- Overfill slightly. Leave the soil ¼ to ½ in. above the top of the cells, level with the surrounding grade. Once the grass fills in, the cells are barely visible.
- Plant within 30 days. Seed, hydroseed or sod (laid on top or recessed). A fast-growing, drought-tolerant mix such as rye and fescue works in most climates; NDS also recommends a thatch-resistant turf.
- Let it establish. Water generously and keep vehicles off for 4 to 6 weeks, until the grass is rooted well enough to anchor the pavers.
Edges, Slopes & Staking
Edges. Leave at least 1 in. between the pavers and any concrete curb, walk or slab so the plastic can expand. NDS's edging detail shows a 6 in. x 6 in. concrete edge as an option, with the sod sitting about ½ in. above the paver. On fire lanes, NDS shows optional reflective delineators along the edge so drivers can find the lane under grass.
Staking. On level ground, EZ Roll grass pavers usually don't need stakes. Every panel has molded eyelets for NDS GPSTAKE anchors (12 in. x 3/8 in. galvanized steel), which are sold separately. Where stakes are used, NDS places them at the corners and center of each roll end and every 10 ft along both edges, plus extra at cuts and turns.
Slopes. The NDS written specification is stricter than the base table above for grass-filled EZ Roll:
| Slope | NDS recommendation (grass fill) |
|---|---|
| Up to 5% | All vehicles, including emergency vehicles |
| 5% to 10% | Light loads only, such as golf carts |
| Over 10% | Erosion control only, no traffic; anchoring recommended |
For emergency access lanes, NDS recommends anchoring with GPSTAKE stakes and fender washers at cross slopes of 5% or more and at sharp 90-degree turns. Keep the bottom of the base at least 3 ft above the seasonal high water table. If your site is steeper than 5%, send us the plan with a quote request and we'll include stakes and check the layout with NDS.

Maintenance
Mow and water like a normal lawn. Check the surface now and then and replace any damaged section. Don't run thatching or scalping equipment over the pavers, and when plowing snow use skid shoes or raise the blade at least 2 in. NDS notes grass surfaces are for emergency and occasional traffic; daily driving in the same tracks will wear the grass.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many square feet does one EZ4X150 roll cover?
One roll is 3.96 ft x 152 ft and covers 601.6 sq ft.
How much weight can EZ Roll grass pavers hold?
The unfilled compressive strength is 53,683 psf, and the system supports H-20 and H-25 loads. A filled paver carried an ultimate load of 400,000 lb in NDS testing.
How deep should the base be for a driveway?
At least 6 in. of compacted #57 stone for cars and pickup trucks, and 8 in. for fire trucks.
How long until I can drive on it?
Keep traffic off for 4 to 6 weeks while the grass establishes.
How many rolls do I need for a 20 ft fire lane?
Five rolls side by side (5 x 3.96 ft = 19.8 ft).
Does it need stakes?
Not on level ground. Each panel has eyelets for NDS GPSTAKE anchors (sold separately). NDS recommends anchoring emergency access lanes at cross slopes of 5% or more and at sharp 90-degree turns.
How long does it last?
NDS rates EZ Roll for a 25-year life expectancy when well maintained.
How does shipping work?
The 4' x 150' roll ships free by common carrier. Most orders ship within 4 business days and arrive in 3 to 6 business days.
Is EZ Roll the same as NDS Grassroad pavers?
Not quite. Grassroad is the name NDS uses for its Tufftrack panels (Tufftrack Grassroad Pavers), which are rigid 2' x 2' squares. EZ Roll is the NDS grass paver that comes on a roll: one 4' x 150' roll covers 601.6 sq ft, so long, straight runs like driveways and fire lanes go down faster. Both support H-20 loads. For tight or irregular spaces, see Tufftrack 2' x 2' panels.
