Permeable Paving Systems
Our permeable paving systems use Ecoraster grids to create durable, sustainable surfaces that manage stormwater effectively. These systems reduce runoff, prevent erosion, and lower infrastructure costs while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Ideal for commercial parking lots, residential driveways, and agricultural areas, they combine environmental responsibility with long-term performance.
Stormwater Management
We provide stormwater management solutions that utilize permeable surfaces to reduce runoff and improve groundwater recharge. Our systems eliminate the need for retention ponds and piping, cutting infrastructure costs by up to 40%. Suitable for urban developments and industrial sites, these solutions ensure compliance with environmental regulations while enhancing site sustainability.
Grass Grid Pavers
Grass grid pavers stabilize soil while allowing vegetation growth, creating functional green spaces. These systems prevent mud accumulation in parks, cemeteries, and event areas while maintaining permeability. The recycled plastic grids support heavy loads without compromising ecological benefits, making them ideal for municipal and recreational applications.
Stone/Gravel-Filled Grids
Stone/gravel-filled grids prevent aggregate migration and rutting in high-traffic areas. These systems maintain surface stability for commercial parking, bike lanes, and emergency access roads while allowing water infiltration. The lightweight design reduces maintenance needs and extends the lifespan of gravel surfaces compared to traditional methods.
Paver Base Stabilizers
Paver base stabilizers like Ecoraster X30 reinforce subbases for unit paving stones, reducing required depth by 50%. These systems prevent shifting and heaving caused by tree roots or underground utilities, ensuring long-term stability for hardscapes. Ideal for urban infrastructure and landscaping projects with excavation constraints.

Follow up is mostly non-existent, sales people don't return phone calls, don't send out quotes, nothing. On the other hand the only thing I have wasted is some time making phone calls and sending emails.
