NDSPermeable Pavers
NDS permeable pavers are snap-together grids made in the USA from recycled plastic that let stormwater soak into the ground instead of running off. EZ Roll grass and gravel pavers and the heavier-duty Tufftrack grid turn driveways, overflow parking, and fire lanes into load-bearing, permeable surfaces — green where you want turf, stable where you need gravel.
Load-Bearing Ground That Still Drains
Conventional asphalt and concrete shed every drop of rain to the storm sewer. Permeable pavers do the opposite: a cellular plastic grid carries the wheel load while the open cells — filled with turf or gravel — let water infiltrate into the soil below. The result is a surface that parks cars or trucks yet behaves, hydrologically, more like a lawn. That reduction in impervious area is exactly what many stormwater codes reward, so permeable pavers often work alongside detention products like the NDS StormChamber to meet site requirements.
The NDS line splits by duty. EZ Roll grass and gravel pavers ship in rolls of snap-together 24” panels and carry H-20/H-25 loads — right for green driveways, paths, and overflow parking. Tufftrack is the heavy-duty grid, with empty-cell compressive strength near 98,770 psf and far higher once filled, so it supports fire-truck loading while still growing turf — the standard choice for fire lanes and emergency access aisles. Both install fast with no tools and last about 25 years. For the broader product category and cross-brand options, see our permeable pavers guide.
NDS Permeable Paver Products
EZ Roll Grass Pavers
Hexagonal-cell web that supports turf growth while bearing traffic. Unfilled compressive strength ~53,683 psf; supports H-20/H-25 loads. Sold in rolls (e.g., 3.96 ft x 24 ft = 96 sq ft, up to 3.96 ft x 152 ft = 602 sq ft).
EZ Roll Gravel Pavers
Same hexagonal-cell web tuned for gravel fill — confines aggregate to create a stable, permeable surface for paths, driveways, and overflow parking without ruts or migration.
Tufftrack Grass Pavers
Heavier-duty grid with empty-cell compressive strength ~98,770 psf (far higher when filled). Supports fire-truck loads while growing turf — the choice for fire lanes and emergency access.

Common questions about NDS EZ Roll and Tufftrack pavers
NDS permeable pavers are cellular grids made in the USA from recycled plastic. They ship as snap-together 24-inch panels or rolls that assemble with no tools, and the open cells are filled with turf or gravel to create a permeable, load-bearing surface with roughly a 25-year service life.
EZ Roll grass and gravel pavers are the standard-duty option, with an unfilled compressive strength around 53,683 psf and H-20/H-25 load support — ideal for green driveways, paths, and overflow parking. Tufftrack is the heavy-duty grid, with empty-cell compressive strength near 98,770 psf (far higher when filled), supporting fire-truck loads while growing turf for fire lanes and emergency access.
Yes. EZ Roll pavers are rated for H-20/H-25 highway loading, suitable for cars and light trucks on driveways and parking areas. Tufftrack is engineered to carry fire-truck loads, making it appropriate for fire lanes and heavier vehicular access while still allowing turf to grow through the grid.
Permeable pavers replace impervious asphalt or concrete with an open grid that lets rainfall infiltrate into the soil rather than running off. Reducing impervious area helps meet stormwater management requirements, and the pavers often work alongside detention systems such as the NDS StormChamber to manage runoff on-site.
NDS pavers use 24-inch square panels that snap together; EZ Roll products are also sold in rolls, for example 3.96 ft x 24 ft (96 sq ft) up to 3.96 ft x 152 ft (602 sq ft), so you can cover large areas quickly with fewer seams.
Tufftrack grass pavers are specifically suited to fire lanes. Their high compressive strength supports fire-truck loading while the cells grow turf, satisfying fire-access requirements without a paved appearance. EZ Roll is better suited to lighter driveway and overflow-parking duty.
Related Products & Applications
Permeable pavers reduce impervious area, so they often work alongside detention systems and edge trench drains on a stormwater plan. EZ Roll and Tufftrack grids turn load-bearing ground into a draining surface for:
- Green driveways
- Overflow parking lots
- Fire-lane access at fire stations
- Turf paths on golf courses
