Porous Pave XL was utilized at Spring Meadows Country Club to create a permeable golf cart parking area for the renovated practice green and driving range facility.
This cart parking area saved over 35,000 LB of tires from being tossed into a landfill by using Porous Pave XL

Bluffs and bare dirt don’t mix with a busy campground. 

This Porous Pave path at Singing Sands RV Park gives guests a firm, stable route down to the beach, and rain drains straight through the surface instead of washing the hillside away.

Is it safe? We test year after year, and every result comes back under reporting limit. 
Can you drive on it? Great for foot traffic and golf carts, not for semi-trucks. 
Can you install it in the cold? It needs temps above 45°F to cure. 
How much maintenance? Minimal, just an occasional binder top coat.

How long does it take to pave a mile of Porous Pave? It depends on how you do it. 

By hand screed, a crew pushing hard might average 3,000 to 5,000 square feet a day and be dog tired every night, which works out to roughly 10 to 15 days. 

With a screed box, an auto-metering hopper for the rubber, and a good-sized crew, we’re planning to finish this mile in about 6 days of paving. 

We’re splitting it across two weeks so the guys aren’t worked Monday through Saturday and wiped out by the end.

Here is how we finish the edge on most Porous Pave paths: wood boards, rounded, slip screeded down the trail as we pour. 

No metal edge restraint required. This job used metal edging because the owner wanted a firm edge to hold the surrounding material up to it. 

Use it if it fits your project and your look.

The Arvesta Mini Golf Park shows what permeable pavement can do for a destination venue. 

Porous Pave winds through the entire property, from the tree-shaped main path that branches out to every mini golf hole to the walkways connecting the silo buildings, The Trough, the picnic lawn, and the pickleball courts. 

The pour-in-place recycled rubber surface drains 5,800 gallons per hour per square foot, handles heavy summer foot traffic, and blends naturally into the dunes and landscaping.

Not every day goes at full speed, and we’re not going to pretend it does. 

Day one in Twinsburg, Ohio was about 6,400 square feet, with a lot of hand work that slowed things down. 

Day two started with the first mix going in and a target of 1,000 square feet an hour. Let’s see what the crew can do.

Industrial parks and distribution centers move a lot of people between parking, entries, and break areas, and the walkways take a beating. 

Porous Pave is a pour-in-place permeable surface made from recycled tires that drains 5,800 gallons per hour per square foot, flexes through freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking, and meets curb ramps and crosswalks with no seams. 

Fewer puddles, fewer patch jobs, and a clean path from the loading dock to the lunch table.

People always ask what would make you choose Porous Pave or concrete. 

Our answer: use both. 

Porous Pave is a tool in your toolbox, not a one-surface replacement for everything. It’s permeable and flexible, but it can’t handle semi-truck traffic, and it may not be the right fit for something like a Kubota skid steer driving across it. 

On this site they used concrete where they needed to drive larger vehicles and Porous Pave where they wanted water to drain through. 

Knowing why you choose each surface is what makes the project work.

What is Porous Pave?

Recycled tires, stone chips, and a urethane binder, poured in place into a flexible, permeable surface that handles freeze-thaw cycles. 

This mile-long trail in Twinsburg, Ohio shows what it looks like at full scale.

Steep bluff. Heavy foot traffic. Rain runoff headed straight for the beach. 

That is exactly the kind of spot where Porous Pave earns its keep. 

This pathway at Singing Sands RV Park gives guests a safe, stable route down to the sand while letting water drain through the surface instead of carving into the slope.

Tired of replacing wood mulch every single year? There is a better option. 

This is loose rubber mulch from Porous Pave. It is a larger chunk material designed to look like real mulch, and it comes in about eight colors including black, redwood, brown, cypress, tan, and even blue. This customer went with black to match their house. 

No bonding, no binder. You place it and it stays. 

Want to plant something new? Move the rubber mulch back, cut the landscape fabric underneath, and plant. 

Easy to work with and built to hold up for years.

Wrapped up a pour at Petoskey High School in Northern Michigan. 🏈

The problem: water sheeting off the concrete walkway and surrounding slopes with nowhere to go. The school kept concrete down the middle so buggies and maintenance vehicles can still get to the football field. We poured Porous Pave along the edges to catch the runoff.

The concrete and landscape both slope into the Porous Pave, so it works like a French drain built right into the walkway. Water goes down instead of pooling up.

5,800 gallons per hour, per square foot. 27% void space. Made in Grant, Michigan from recycled tires.

Fall on a Porous Pave path hits differently. 

Leaves land on it. Rain falls through it. Roots grow under it. And the surface just keeps going — no cracking, no heaving, no washout. 

This is what a path that belongs in its landscape looks like.

Some installations mean more than others. 

This is a Porous Pave installation at the 9/11 Memorial Garden of Reflection in Yardley, Pennsylvania — a path built to carry visitors through a space of remembrance quietly and without interruption. 

Permeable, stable, and designed to hold up for decades so the people who come here to reflect never have to think about the ground beneath their feet. 

Never forget.

Twinsburg, Ohio. Watch the crew work. 

Porous Pave going down on the sidewalk trail connecting Liberty Park to the dog park — mixed on site, spread clean, and troweled to a finished edge that will hold up through Ohio winters without cracking or washing out. 

This is what 6,000 square feet looks like in real time.

An outdoor gathering space outside US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis needs a surface that can handle everything from a quiet Tuesday lunch to 70,000 people filing in for a game day. 

Porous Pave handles the daily foot traffic, drains instantly after rain so the space stays open, and gives the area a clean natural finish that works with the trees and landscaping instead of fighting it. 

No cracking. No puddling. No maintenance callouts.

175,000 pounds of rubber. 88 pallets. Twinsburg, Ohio. 

Hand loading 50 pound bags for that volume would have destroyed the crew before the pour even started. 

Instead we are running an auto-metering hopper that hits a timer, measures 83 seconds, and drops exactly 200 pounds of rubber into the mixer every single cycle. 

Equipment doing the heavy work so the crew can focus on the pour. This is how you scale a job without burning out your team.

That is the last bag of Porous Pave blue we have for the year. 

One bag. Sitting in the warehouse. Watching everyone else leave. 

If you have a small project that needs just one bag of blue, call us.
