The ground cover at this part of the car park at the Durham Dales Centre in Stanhope is a matrix of concrete studs with soil-filled pockets between them; from those hollows, grass grows. The general effect is that the surface has almost the appearance of a lawn but with durability as vehicles' tyres ride over the concrete studs. It's not certain whether the word 'grasscrete' is a generic term for the structure type, or an actual trade name.
