Good to hear that you heard about our green driveway through CBC’s Fresh Air!

My site has tons of info on how to build a green driveway. We chose to use PermaTurf (manufactured in the USA) and Eco-Lawn (drought-tolerant grass seed from Ontario) but there are similar options by other companies. I heard that there is a similar product to PermaTurf that is made in Canada, but I have not checked it out or done any research on it. The price was comparable to interlocking brick.

Please take a look at my Green Driveway articles which include lots of information on where we got the PermaTurf, why we chose it, how we built it as a DIY project etc, etc. The questions after each article also contain some great nuggets.

If you only want to read one article start with this as an overview:

Good luck! If you build one please send me a photo.
