These steep, often wet, areas are hazardous for people to cross, and they can become catchments for shopping carts and trash. The vehicular turf alternative can increase groundwater recharge efficiency because trafficked areas are used simultaneously for percolation. This also makes it easier to satisfy building code requirements. Vehicular turf provides visually attractive up-close green areas, compatible with softer, more personable architecture. A year-round growing season, such as that of southern Florida, allows vehicular turf to be always green and attractive.
Vehicular turf provides valuable alternative uses, present and future.
Examples are garage sales, outdoor food festivals, dances, sporting events, camping, and carnivals.
