ECCOgravel –stable and water-permeable gravel grid
ECCOgravel is a durable and frost-proof gravel grid made of high-quality HDPE plastic. It provides a stable, functional and aesthetic gravel surface while maintaining excellent water permeability – ideal for paths, parking lots, driveways and garden areas.
Technical parameters:
-
Size: 160 × 120 cm
-
Heights: 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm
-
Colors: white, black, gray
-

Embedded geotextile: prevents gravel from escaping under the grid
Why choose ECCOgravel?
✅ Excellent water permeability – prevents puddles, holes and shoes stuck in gravel
✅ High durability – the grid retains its shape both when empty and filled
✅ Aesthetic appearance – modern and clean gravel surface without grooves
✅ Quick and easy installation – apply and fill with gravel
✅ Long-term solution – suitable for intensive use and various climatic conditions
Compared to traditional solutions
Regular gravel with a fine fraction (e.g. 0-5 mm) can create a firm surface, but it does not allow water to pass through well, creating puddles and holes. It can also stick to shoes, causing dirt and discomfort.
ECCOgravel holds the gravel in place, reduces movement and provides excellent durability – even under heavy loads. The embedded geotextile protects the grid from leaching and extends the service life of the surface.

Advantages
ECCOgravel gravel grids are entirely produced in Belgium. This allows not only a a quick deliver, but also to apply high quality parameters.
ECCOgravel gravel grids are frost- and UV-resistant and made of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene). Gravel stabilisation grids made of HDPE remain flexible at all times, even at frost temperatures down to -20°. Gravel grids manufactured from other materials could break at cold temperatures.
ECCOgravel gravel grids have a compressive strength in a filled state of up to 400 tonnes/m². Unfilled, the grids have a compressive strength of 90 tonnes/m². The compressive strength is important because it reflects to what extent the grid can be subjected to maximum loads. Thanks to the high compressive strength, an ECCOgravel gravel grid is extremely suitable for the construction of your driveway, parking lot, fire roads, etc.
Not only the pressure resistance of a gravel grid is important, the torque resistance is also very important. When you are driving a car over gravel sheets, you are not only exerting pressure, but your manoeuvring (twisting and turning) also exerts torque forces on the substrate. Here too, the importance of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) comes into play: thanks to this composition, ECCOgravel grids remain flexible, which means they will not break or deform over time. Moreover, all ECCOgravel grids boast synthetic reinforcements between the honeycombs in order to enhance torque resistance.
A great deal of attention is given not only to the composition of the plate itself; the anti-rooting mat (also called geotextile) is also selected with great care. This geotextile ensures that the pebbles do not end up underneath the plate. The geotextile for ECCOgravel grids is 100% bonded, preventing this issue from occurring here. In addition, the geotextile is manufactured from polyester, which is a high-strength material. Not only is the geotextile exceedingly strong, but it also has an open structure. This ensures that rainwater permeates into the substrate quickly, allowing your gravel surface to remain clean. Lastly, plants and grasses also have a harder time attaching, preventing the growth of weeds.
ECCOgravel gravel grids are available in white, grey or black.
