GRASSPHALT© is an imaginary material combining the tactile qualities of grass with the urban qualities of asphalt. It is the ideal urban material. Balls bounce on it, wheels ride on it and kids love it. Dirt washes away and you can clean it like a carpet. GRASSPHALT© is frost proof, tear proof, guaranteed for 50 years. You can cut it, spray it and bent it. The only thing now is to invent it !
