Permeable paving solutions

What aggregates can I use with the grid and is a base required?

Both permeable paving grids can be used with any preferred aggregate. EasyPave and EasyPave PRO grids allow vehicle loads over soil, sod, and grass — a feature not often available in Geo Ground Grids or from any competition. The use of permeable pavement and permeable pavers in these grids promotes sustainable surface solutions for various applications, including driveways and parking lots. They also allow for heavy vehicles, commercial solutions, and industrial applications. HEXpave grids allow for vehicle loads and can be used with any aggregate or as a grass paver for pedestrian loads.

How do I know how many pavers to order?

Vodaland sells its permeable paving grids in square foot packages. For HEXpave they are: 65 sq ft, 325 sq ft, 975 sq ft, 1450 sq ft, and 4350 sq ft. For EasyPave they are: 35 sq ft, 315 sq ft, 825 sq ft, 1650 sq ft, and 4950 sq ft. For EasyPave PRO they are: 35 sq ft, 185 sq ft, 1225 sq ft, 2450 sq ft, and 4950 sq ft. We provide the appropriate number of grids for that size, and you can view the number of grids you will receive on each grid’s product page. A grid can be purchased as an individual product by request. The size of each grid can be found in the product specs.

Do I need anchors?

Anchors are optional for our permeable pavers but provide a lot of benefits. It provides stability to the grid paving and prevents any possibility of shifting over time. We strongly recommend anchors for any project with a slight slope or unstable ground. For applications that will have vehicle loads, it is mandatory to use our anchors with our grids.

How do permeable pavers work?

Permeable paving grids are a great alternative to the standard asphalt driveway or non-contained gravel road. The purpose of the pavers is to contain your installation material while still allowing for the passage of water. This allows for your gravel roads or lots to stay level, reducing the risk of flooding, and eliminating the negatives of a hot pavement surface. The grids are durable with high compressive strength, meaning they can be used in even commercial applications. If you are unsure if your loads are bearable by the grids, contact a Vodaland representative for compatible vehicle types.

When should you use permeable pavers?

The use of permeable pavement offers many benefits over traditional paving solutions, and there is a wide range of applications in which permeable pavers can be used. The most common use is as a residential or commercial solution for flooding caused by impervious surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, etc. The grids will allow the water to pass through unlike asphalt, which rainwater can damage surfaces. Also, the grids are designed to be ground reinforcement solutions and the compressive strength of the grid expands the compatible vehicle types that can be used on gravel. This is why you see it often used as a solution for highways as their access lanes or curbs.
