Selected case studies will document the site challenge, specification, installation and outcome.
Why we publish them
Specified performance is a claim; a project is that claim tested by weather, traffic and time. These case studies are published because they are documented: each names the installer, shows the site before and after, and quotes the outcome in the words of the people who ordered the work — including the parts that were difficult. It is the same evidence-first rule the rest of this site follows, applied to our own installations.
The current set covers the three most common jobs X-Grid does. A school whose grass overflow parking had become a winter liability: Belper School’s car parks, rebuilt by Pugh-Lewis Limited of Chesterfield on a compacted MoT hardcore base, where tracked mud went from a daily complaint to, in their words, ‘dramatically reduced to practically zero’. A holiday village whose caravan access routes churned every wet season: at Park Avenue Holiday Village the rebuilt routes are grass-filled X-Grid that drains as designed and is mown with ride-on machines. And a domestic drive whose owners were topping up gravel ‘within as little as a week’ until forty square metres rebuilt on green X-Grid ended the cycle.
Each project page follows the same shape — the site challenge, the specification, the installation and the outcome — so you can find the project that resembles yours and read what was actually decided, layer by layer. Where a case study exposes a lesson, the lesson stays in: the installations that admit what was difficult are the ones worth copying.
Jump to a project
Grass overflow parking rebuilt as an all-weather gravel surface on a compacted MoT base — mud reduced to practically zero.
Churning caravan routes rebuilt in grass-filled X-Grid: stable, free-draining and mown with ride-on machines.
Forty square metres that stopped shedding gravel after years of weekly top-ups — green grid, decorative stone.
The work
A cottage driveway that lost most of its gravel within a week was rebuilt on 40 m² of green X-Grid with a decorative gravel finish. The gravel stays put and the surface drains as designed.

A muddy, boggy paddock was converted into a stable area: turf removed and levelled, geotextile and sand blinding installed, then black X-Grid interlocked and filled with soil and seed.
View project
Rutting grass access roads that became impassable in winter were rebuilt with a geotextile-separated sub-base and grass-filled X-Grid. The matured routes no longer rut or muddy, and can be mowed over.

Pugh-Lewis Limited of Chesterfield replaced overflowing grassed parking with a gravel-filled X-Grid car park on a compacted MoT hardcore base. Mud was "dramatically reduced to practically zero" and the areas stay usable all year round.

Your project
If your site looks like one of these — a failing surface, a traffic problem, a drainage complaint — start with the matching application page, size the job in the configurator, and send the details to the technical team. Every build-up published on this site exists to make that specification straightforward, and every case study started exactly there. If a product comparison is what you are after, the compare page shows how the panel is specified against alternatives; the projects show how the whole system behaves once it is in the ground.
