grass pavers
A neutral term (i.e. not a brand name or trademark) is grass pavers or grass paving blocks. NB: 'grasscrete' properly refers to grassed cell paving which has been poured in situ (see ref. below).
-> "Occasionally confused with pre-cast blocks GRASSCRETE is in fact a cast on site cellular reinforced concrete system with voids created by plastic void formers."
