Architectural porous pavement

Porous pavement for pedestrian routes.

EcoPave™ EP-200 is a monolithic, permeable surface made from specialty aggregate, recycled rubber granules, and an exterior-grade polyurethane binder—designed for guest-facing paths where drainage, comfort underfoot, and maintenance planning matter.

Continuous underfoot feel—without loose aggregate and without joints.

Applications

Best suited to pedestrian routes where experience and operations matter.

EcoPave™ is selective by design. Chosen for guest-facing paths where teams want drainage, accessibility, and a calm architectural read—without loose aggregate.

Curated landscapes and collections
Gardens and arboreta where paths run through living collections and are expected to feel resolved, accessible, and stable.

Guest environments
Zoos, nature centers, outdoor exhibits, and attractions where groups slow down and return—surfaces must handle wet conditions and daily operations.

Institutional and campus grounds
Universities, museums, and civic environments where outdoor circulation is part of the public experience.

Courtyards and amenity paths
Where unit pavers or decorative patterning are not the intent, but the ground plane still needs material character.

Design-led projects
Selected when a calm, continuous ground plane is part of the brief—not an afterthought.
Guest experience
Where comfort underfoot and low “rolling resistance” are expected for wheelchairs and carts.
Operations reality
Where teams want fewer recurring surface corrections compared with loose aggregate paths.
Teams that choose EcoPave tend to value
  • Drainage and usability in wet conditions
  • Joint-free access (wheelchairs, strollers, carts)
  • A restrained, architectural surface read
  • Maintenance planning over emergency patch cycles
Not the right fit when
  • Lowest first cost is the only driver.
  • Surfaces carry frequent heavy-truck traffic.
  • The goal is decorative patterning or branded graphics.

If you’re unsure, send context—we’ll be candid.

Experience

A walking surface that stays out of the way.

Designed so people notice the landscape—not the path. A monolithic surface intended to reduce ponding and avoid loose-aggregate migration.

Rigid pavements can feel hard and bright; loose aggregate shifts, tracks, and demands attention. EcoPave™ sits between those extremes: a monolithic surface with subtle resiliency underfoot, without the rattle and rolling of loose stone.

From a distance, the texture reads as a calm field that lets planting and architecture lead. Up close, it reads as a deliberate, finely graded surface—resolved but not decorative.

Comfort underfoot
Subtle resiliency that supports long walks and guest dwell time.
Quiet visual read
Material character up close; low visual noise at distance.
Joint-free access
No loose aggregate, no step changes—wheelchairs, strollers, and carts move without “work.”

For visitors
Even, stable walking so focus stays on the collection, conversation, or view.

For accessibility
Wheelchairs, strollers, and carts move without loose material or vibration.

For operations
A surface that stays legible—without constant regrading, raking, and patchwork.

System

Familiar materials—assembled as a porous pavement system.

EP-200 is defined by mix, base, drainage intent, and detailing.

EP-200 combines specialty aggregate, recycled rubber granules, and an exterior-grade polyurethane binder to create an architectural porous pavement surface for pedestrian routes. Built for environments where water, planting, and seasonal change are daily realities.

Delivered with defined preparation and placement practices. Details can be calibrated for structured base conditions or more sensitive root and soil zones, depending on intent.

In higher-use corridors
Installed over a compacted aggregate base where structural stability and daily operations are primary concerns.

In planted and naturalized areas
Detailed to protect roots and soils while maintaining a monolithic walking surface.

Testing

Measured performance for pedestrian-surface conditions.

Reports are shared for technical review with full context (methods, conditioning, specimen details).

EcoPave™ is most often evaluated alongside DG, porous asphalt, rigid pavements, or unit pavers—depending on the site and design intent. We prefer to review conditions rather than oversell a single metric.

Testing is performed by an independent laboratory. Reports include methods, specimen details, and conditioning so reviewers can interpret results appropriately.

If you’re in CDs or procurement, we provide the packet so the system can be evaluated on paper before any field commitment.

Lab report request

Share what you’re comparing against and what matters most (drainage, traction, maintenance, comfort). We’ll send the relevant report pages and sections.

Resources

Sections, spec language, and the lab report.

Clean documentation for design teams, owners, and reviewers. Request only what you need.

Use these resources to evaluate EP-200 in your documents: sections, specification language, and the testing packet.

If you’re comparing options, tell us what’s on the shortlist (DG, porous asphalt, rigid pavements, unit pavers) and what matters most.

To keep packets current and ensure results are interpreted correctly, lab reports are distributed directly to reviewers.

Maintenance reality
Straightforward and practical

As with any porous surface, performance depends on keeping fines and organics from accumulating. Typical care is periodic sweeping/blowing (or vacuum-sweeping where leaf litter and fines are persistent), edge/transition checks, and addressing localized damage promptly to prevent water bypass or undermining.

Not intended for vehicular roadways, heavy-truck service, or applications where lowest first cost is the sole selection driver.

Sample

A field-grade sample for review.

Review finish, texture, and material character with your team.

Samples are produced with EP-200 constituents representative of the system’s material character and finish. Review alongside drawings, material boards, and comparable surfaces.

If you need data, tell us what matters most (drainage, traction, maintenance, comfort). We’ll send the relevant documents with context.
