How to install plastic ground stabilization grids?

Installing plastic ground stabilization grids involves 5 steps: excavate 100-200mm depth, compact sub-base, lay geotextile fabric, place and expand LONGXIANG grids, fill with gravel or soil or turf, and compact final surface. A 100m2 area can be installed by 2 workers in 1 day.

Step-by-Step Installation

1
Site Preparation

Excavate to required depth (100mm for pedestrian, 150-200mm for vehicles). Slope 1-2 percent for drainage. Remove all vegetation.

2
Sub-Base Compaction

Add 50-100mm of compacted aggregate base. Compact to 95 percent Proctor density. LONGXIANG recommends MOT Type 1 or equivalent.

3
Geotextile Fabric

Lay non-woven geotextile over sub-base. Overlap joints by 300mm. Prevents fine soil migration into the grid system.

4
Grid Installation

Place LONGXIANG grids and expand fully. Interlock adjacent panels using the integrated connector system. Stagger joints like brickwork.

5
Fill and Finish

For grass: topsoil with 70 percent sand. For gravel: 10-20mm angular gravel. Fill 5-10mm above top surface and compact.

LONGXIANG Installation Project

A UK landscape contractor installed 2,000m2 of permeable parking for a retail center using LONGXIANG Premium grids. The team of 6 completed the project in 9 days. Traditional concrete paving would have taken 6+ weeks and cost 3x more.
