Disclosed are exemplary
groundcover systems and methods for creating living vegetated foot, wheeled, and / or vehicular traffic surfaces, such as living vegetated parking lots or portions thereof (e.g., vehicle parking surface(s), thoroughfares or main arteries, feeder lanes, fire lanes, overflow parking, etc.), driveways, sidewalks,
pedestrian walkways, other connector spaces, bike paths, golf
cart paths, playing fields (e.g., football fields, soccer fields, etc.), streets, etc. The
groundcover system may be configured for promoting, fostering, supporting, reinforcing, and / or protecting
vegetation growth. The
groundcover system may be configured for capturing water that passes through water permeable portions of the groundcover
system and storing the captured water underneath the living vegetated surface. The groundcover system may be configured with
subsurface irrigation (e.g., via a capillary wicking system, etc.) of water (e.g., stored underneath the living vegetated surface, etc.) to
vegetation growing media (e.g., soil, in-situ soil, engineered soil, etc.) and / or
root system(s) of ground
vegetation.
