Cauley Creek Park
The city wanted a walking path that would reduce the stress on joints so we installed a shock absorbent trail perfect for 5k runs or casual walkers.
Porous Pave for Public Gardens and Arboretums
Permeable Surface Solutions That Protect Landscapes and Enhance Visitor Access
Public gardens and arboretums are designed to showcase natural beauty while providing safe, accessible spaces for visitors. However, foot traffic, weather, and irrigation can lead to erosion, unstable paths, and ongoing maintenance challenges. Porous Pave provides a stabilized, permeable surface that supports drainage, protects plant health, and preserves the integrity of carefully maintained landscapes.
From walking trails and signage surrounds to parking lot islands and maintenance access strips, Porous Pave helps create durable, natural-looking surfaces that blend seamlessly into garden environments. Its permeable structure allows water to pass through while stabilizing soil, helping prevent erosion and protecting sensitive root systems.
Porous Pave supports long-term landscape preservation while improving accessibility and reducing maintenance demands.
Porous Pave systems are ideal for a wide range of public garden and arboretum environments, including:
- Walking trails and garden paths
- Maintenance access strips
- Parking lot islands and landscaped areas
- Signage surrounds and interpretive areas
- Tree surrounds and root zone protection
- Erosion-prone landscape transitions
- Gathering areas and rest locations
- Landscape stabilization in high-traffic areas
These applications help maintain safe, stable access while protecting the surrounding landscape.
