Presto GEOBLOCK - Vegetated Porous Pavement

• Best Turf Protection
  Deeper, interconnected cell walls protect topsoil & vegetative root zone from compaction.
• Best Medium for Vegetative Growth
  The GEOBLOCK system’s recommended engineered base with 30% topsoil component/70% aggregate retains water to grow grass faster and thicker-drivable in only 2-3 weeks. Grass grows poorly in sand (required infill for weak rolled products) and requires frequent watering.
• Higher Stormwater Infiltration
  The GEOBLOCK system has a 5-10 times faster percolation rate and better water storage capacity than rolled products as a result of topsoil infill and engineered base vs. sand infill and road gravel.
• Optimal Load Transfer
  The GEOBLOCK system’s shared wall structure transfers loads better and is strong enough to drive on pre-filled. Flimsy braces between rolled product cells offer little load support, break easily, cannot be driven upon unfilled, and are prone to rutting if driven on in rain.
• Resistance to Torsional Loading Stresses
  The GEOBLOCK system’s shared walls and interlocking tabs create a framework that resists movement or breakage from vehicle turning stresses and torsional loads. Rolled systems fail under torsional loading.
• Ships in Stable, Easy to Handle Pallet Cubes
  GEOBLOCK units are shipped in stackable pallet cubes and cover a large area per pallet. Rolled products ship only two rolls per pallet standing on end and are not stackable without damaging connectors. Waste is common due to shipping damage.
• Topsoil Infill Easy to Install
  The GEOBLOCK system’s topsoil infill is easy to spread with rakes and lutes. Rolled products lift easily when spreading with rakes and lutes as tools catch on rings. Once lifted, complete removal & replacement is required.
• Units Lay Flat
  GEOBLOCK rigid paving units lay flat, yet contour to a site. Units slide together quickly, requiring no stakes. Rolled products won’t lay flat due to the rolled product memory making connector clips difficult to connect.

Large GEOBLOCK porous paving units are designed for maximum load transfer and support, resistance to traffic stresses and maximum turf protection.

• Maximizes load transfer and distribution of vehicle loads to 80,000 lbs. provided by large rigid surface area and strong interlocking connections.
• Reduces overall installation costs by requiring less base depth than lighter-weight or rolled pavement systems.
• High resistance to movement or breakage from vehicle turning stresses and torsional loads.
• Uses engineered base (toilsoil/aggregate mix) for a growing medium that encourages deeper root growth, healthier grass performance and water retention.
• Deeper cells prevent topsoil compaction and vegetative damage caused by repeated loadings.
• Meet green building goals and earn LEED credits.

• Emergency access lanes
• Utility access lanes
• Overflow parking areas
• Road shoulders
• Trails and trail-hardening
• Pedestrian walkways and barrier-free ADA access ways
• Golf cart path shoulders and aprons
• High use areas & permeable load support
