Install Eco-blocks

What happens here

The video clearly shows workers in the background actively installing the Eco-blocks. These specially designed concrete blocks have large voids or holes that will eventually host grass. Before laying the blocks, a thin leveling bed (often 1 inch or 2.5 cm) of fine, permeable aggregate like screeded gravel or coarse sand is typically spread over the geotextile fabric, although this bedding layer is not explicitly shown in the video. The Eco-blocks are then laid directly onto this prepared surface in the desired pattern. The pattern shown in the video appears to be an interlocking herringbone or similar design, which enhances the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the driveway. Lay the blocks tightly together, ensuring minimal gaps between them. Cuts will be necessary at the edges of the driveway to fit the specific shape and create a clean, finished look. A rubber mallet can be used to gently tap blocks into place and ensure they are level with adjacent blocks.

Goal: Construct the main permeable surface of the driveway.
