Equestrian & Livestock Facilities
EcoGrid is your permanent solution to muddy paddocks, round pens and turn outs.
Mud is a problem that all equestrian facilities and livestock owners must contend with. Soil compaction from horse and livestock traffic results in poor water drainage, thus when it rains, water tends to pool in low lying areas and puddles. Combined with organic manure, which will retain moisture for long periods of time, and further stomping and chopping by hard hooves and you soon have a serious and ongoing mud problem. Mud creates a very unhealthy environment for both horse and owner.

The EcoGrid solution:

• EcoGrid solves your mud problems forever by improving water drainage and preventing soil compaction.
• EcoGrid works on the "snowshoe principle" where the grid disperses the weight of the stock over a larger surface area.
• EcoGrid permanently separates the top layer gravel/sand from the sub-base, making it virtually maintenance free. No longer are you required regularly replace stone and gravel.
• EcoGrid can withstand the most extreme climates from -50°C to 90°C
• EcoGrid is incredibly tough and durable, will withstand continual stomping and chopping by hard hooves.
• Depending on the application EcoGrid often requires no hardcore base section. This significantly reduces maintenance and improves the ground surface for the horse.

In addition to mud control, EcoGrid is ideal for many equestrian and livestock applications. These include:

• Riding arenas
• Paddocks
• Open stables
• Gateways
• Lunging arenas
• Ménage
• Round pens
• Turnouts
• Paddock approaches

By choosing EcoGrid not only are you eliminating mud problems and eliminating your paddock maintenance requirements, you are also making a significant contribution to the environment. Read more about how EcoGrid is helping the environment.

Parking Lots
An Environmental Solution for Sustainable Parking Areas.
EcoGrid has been used in Europe for years to promote permeable parking areas. Since it's introduction to North American we have installed the grid in many parking areas as a viable alternative to traditional asphalt paving.

The EcoGrid Solution:

• Can be filled with a non compacting aggregate, such as gravel or crushed stone that allows water infiltration into the subsoil without sacrificing the stability of the surface area.
• It allows parking areas to be seeded with grass or hydro seeded, while maintaining superior turf protection, thus making EcoGrid and excellent environmental and esthetically pleasing choice for overflow parking.
• With superior load bearing capacity of 32t/ft², it is the only product that has proven itself to be able to withstand the turning of heavy vehicles such as Garbage trucks and other Heavy Vehicles.
• EcoGrid's wall thickness and the use of the patented locking tabs prevents ravelling of the grid in turning radius areas.

Green Roofing
The advent of LEED Certification and the use of green roofing as part of a sustainable building has led EcoGrid to be used as a base for many green roofing areas.

The EcoGrid Solution:

• EcoGrid prevents soil compaction in growing areas while providing a barrier between the roofing membranes and pedestrian traffic.
• Pathways can now be used without adding weight to the structure or compromising the integrity of the drainage system.

By choosing EcoGrid you are choosing environmental sustainability. Read more about how EcoGrid is helping the environment.

Pathways
Where excessive erosion has rendered pathways unsafe or unusable the use of EcoGrid can greatly improve the safety and durability of the heavy traffic areas while providing a permeable surface to assist in ground water absorption. Durable rut free performance is achieved when installed over a proper sub base, the grid provide stability and safety while preventing the excessive migration of fill materials. This means reduced maintenance costs.

Driveways
EcoGrid enables you to create the ultimate, maintenance free gravel driveway. Gravel driveways look great when first installed but after time the gravel moves and compacts into the sub-base. This results in ruts and potholes requiring ongoing maintenance and more and more gravel. EcoGrid eliminates all of these problems.

The EcoGrid Solution:

• Very easy and quick to install (Can be a one man job)
• The unique grid design holds the gravel in place and separates it from the sub-base. Thus, the gravel doesn't move nor does it require constant "topping up" with more gravel.
• Working on the "snowshoe principle", our grid disperses the weight of the vehicle over a larger surface area. Thus preventing compaction and improving water drainage.
• Improved water drainage and no compaction means that ruts and potholes simply don't develop.
• Reduced maintenance costs and safety.
• EcoGrid's wall thickness and the use of the patented locking tabs prevents raveling of the grid even in vehicle turning areas.
• Tough and durable, EcoGrid is resistant to chemicals, corrosion and climate extremes.

The choice of an asphalt, concrete or paved driveway is environmentally unsound due to being an impervious surface. Impervious surfaces lead to water quality degradation, reduced groundwater levels and the detrimental "Heat Island Effect". EcoGrid provides an economical and environmentally sustainable alternative.

Golf Courses
Our grid has been used extensively on Golf Courses throughout the world. EcoGrid has successfully been used for both cart pathways and pedestrian walks where mud and excessive wear has produced bare or muddy areas. The grid prevents excessive compaction of the soil so that root growth is maintained while providing a stable dry area for carts and maintenance vehicles and also pedestrian use. The grid has reduced the need for reseeding in many areas and cut down on maintenance costs. Our pregrown grass grid can be used in areas where instant turf id required. Customers can specify the types of grass and the amount of soil coverage they require. For example a tee area that is heavily damaged or cart paths can be instantly put back into use when pregrown grass is used.

Erosion Control
Stop erosion permanently with EcoGrid!
Erosion occurs when rain and moving water dislodge and carry soil particles and organic matter into waterways. This can cause numerous problems:

• Ruts and potholes can form, making an area hazardous and requiring constant maintenance.
• Valuable soil can be lost from your property when it is washed or blown away.
• Bare and eroded areas can detract from a home's appearance.
• Erosion along a home's foundation can eventually undermine it.
• Mud from eroded areas can build up on driveways, sidewalks, gutter and cause serious problems by clogging drains and channels.

EcoGrid prevents erosion by:

• Reinforcing the ground and preventing the excessive migration of fill materials
• Providing a permeable surface to assist in ground water absorption, thus decreasing water runoff

In it's prevention of erosion, EcoGrid provides stability and safety, while improving an area's aesthetics and reducing maintenance cost.

By choosing EcoGrid not only are you eliminating erosion problems, you are also making a significant contribution to the environment. Read more about how EcoGrid is helping the environment.

Green Spaces
A Green Space is basically any park or open space dedicated to public recreational activity. With heavy use, green spaces can become susceptible to mud and erosion issues. EcoGrid is significant in being able to decrease the impact of traffic (foot, bike and vehicular) on grass and other natural permeable surfaces. The grid protects the roots of the grass and growth areas of the grass plant while providing a stable surface.

The use of EcoGrid in the development of green spaces has the following benefits:

• Improved mud and erosion control
• Decreased maintenance costs
• Less environmental impact through the use of
  pervious surfaces in medium to high traffic areas
• Safer, more stable pathways and walkways

Campgrounds
Some of the biggest problems facing campgrounds is soil compaction, mud and erosion through heavy use. EcoGrid is significant in being able to decrease the impact of traffic (foot and vehicular) on grass and other natural permeable surfaces. The grid system reinforces the ground acting like as "snowshoe", thus reducing soil compaction, improving water drainage and as a result preventing mud and erosion.

EcoGrid enables sustainable grassed camp sites. By maintaining a non compacted area for grass to grow in, campground owners can ensure good grass coverage while maintaining a permeable surface area. The grid protects the roots of the grass and growth areas of the grass plant while providing a stable surface.

After correct installation, EcoGrid is virtually maintenance free. Therefore ongoing campground costs are also decreased.
