Invisible Structures

Gravelpave2 has been used for high traffic porous parking areas since 1993 - banks, fast food restaurants, colleges, and residential driveways. 100% recycled plastic rings are molded onto non-woven goetextile filter fabric. The rings become invisible or camouflaged by the decorative gravel which is "contained" for a smooth, well-dressed finish. Large rolls of Gravelpave2 make installation of trails or parking lots quick and easy.

Gravel base course, depth specified by a soils engineer, is laid underneath to bear vehicle loading. Gravelpave2 is unrolled and fastened together with washers included, then filled with decorative gravel of minus 5mm (3/16") using a front end loader and rakes. Settling of fill gravel can be done by either compacting or irrigating with water.

U.S. Patent No.5,123,778

Porous Paving for High Use Areas

Colorful Gravelpave2 selections blend well with a variety of stones and other granular materials. Choose black, pewter gray, Cashew brown, or terra cotta.

 

Gravelpave2 parking lot used daily at Frostburg State College in Maryland. This 15,000-square-foot parking lot is permeable to water, thus allowing all the water that falls on site to percolate back into the soil. Water tables are naturally replenished and age-old trees are preserved while the function of parking is reserved.
