DiamondGrid™
The Cost-Effective Steel Reinforcement Alternative for Ground Stability
At The Garden Superstore, we understand that reliable ground reinforcement and cost-effective solutions are paramount to successful projects—whether you're in horticulture, construction, landscaping, mining, or agriculture. That's why we're proud to present DiamondGrid™, an eco-friendly, 100% recycled grid system that revolutionises concrete reinforcement and ground stability. Engineered to handle up to 7000 tonnes/m², DiamondGrid™ provides a rock-solid foundation at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
Building Strong Foundations for Cost-Effective Projects
-
Slash Concrete Costs by Up to 91%
DiamondGrid™ requires only a 40mm concrete depth, significantly reducing the volume of concrete needed and cutting overall project expenses on materials and labour. -
High Load Capacity
Engineered for robust performance, DiamondGrid™ stands up to 7000 tonnes/m² when filled with concrete, ensuring it can withstand the heaviest loads in demanding industries like mining, agriculture, and construction. -
Eco-Friendly and Recycled
Manufactured from 100% recycled materials, DiamondGrid™ offers a sustainable solution without compromising on strength, meeting modern environmental standards and responsible building practices.
The DiamondGrid™ Advantage
-
Ground Stability You Can Trust
DiamondGrid™ provides unparalleled load distribution, reducing stress points and prolonging the lifespan of your infrastructure—ideal for paths, driveways, farm tracks, and commercial sites. -
Versatile Performance
- 1000 tonnes/m² crush resistance when filled with unbound material
- 300 tonnes/m² crush resistance when unfilled
Choose the fill that meets your project's needs—from concrete and crushed stone to asphalt, turf, and more.
-
Improved Drainage & Erosion Control
With up to 95% permeability when filled with unbound material, DiamondGrid™ significantly reduces waterlogging and the risk of erosion—keeping your surfaces stable and safe. -
Faster, Easier Installation
DiamondGrid™ features an intuitive interlocking system that's simple to lay and secure. DIYs and professionals alike benefit from streamlined installation and minimal labour costs. -
Reduced Maintenance & Extended Road Lifespan
Evenly distributed loads and optimised drainage mean fewer potholes, less corrugation, and minimal surface degradation—slashing repair bills by up to 70% over time. -
Cost-Effective Subgrade Preparation
By optimising load distribution, DiamondGrid™ reduces the required thickness of your subgrade, saving both time and money without compromising on strength.
