How StabiliGrid Works on Civil or Commercial pavement alternative



It is better for our lakes, rivers  and streams because it is water-permeable (SEE: CAO in King County, WA)
Unlike paved surfaces, it does not funnel rainfall into storm sewers
Instead, Stabiligrid allows the passage of rainfall into the soil, where Mother Nature filters it naturally.
Stabiligrid stays where you put it, anchored into the soil.
When used with gravel, StabiliGrid makes the gravel stay where you put it.
No more potholes or rutting every time it rains
No more constant grading to level the roadway
No more annual deliveries of more gravel is necessary
Even on sloping driveways, there is no runoff onto lawns, or downhill gathering of stone at the foot of the slope

It prevents lawn damage from pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
Vehicular LOAD = 22.45 US Tons / Axle
Supporting up to 70,000 pounds per square foot *, without damaging the grass (think loaded dump trucks, heavy tractors or garbage trucks: 35 tons /sq. ft. will support almost any vehicle)
Allowing lawn or roadside areas to be used as temporary parking, without fear of  damaging the grass
Protecting the ground surface at fairgrounds, fairs and parks from seasonal traffic (no more plodding in the mud at the county fair)
StabiliGrid remains strong and flexible, even in extreme climates.
-50°  to + 90° Centrigrade (-58° to + 194° Fahrenheit).
Unlike pavement, it is not subject to winter ground surges during winter freezes, meaning
No more cracked or unlevel pavement every spring, requiring patching or replacement.
Because it is not an "impervious surface construction," its use may be exempt from many communities' construction restrictions.  
Consider Seattle, Washington as an example:
The CAO (Critical Areas Ordinance) in Washington State's King County restricts the development of major portions of residential or business land with "impervious" structures.
An impervious structure is anything that does not allow rainfall to pass through it into the ground: buildings, roads, parking lots, patios, driveways, carports, etc.
This has become necessary because the lakes, streams, rivers and ponds are becoming polluted.  
A major source of pollutants is pavement: vehicle accessways (roads and streets, driveways and lanes, residential and commercial parking lots, etc.).  
Autos spend most of their time in parking lots and driveways: dripping the various petrochemical fuels, fluids and additives onto the pavement.
When it rains - the pollutants are washed into the storm sewers and into our waterways.
Therefore, homeowners and developers must set aside a major protion of  their property undeveloped with pervious structures.
This has driven the cost of developable real estate skyrocketing.
This necessary environmental policy may result in developers and homeowners being required to purchase and set aside large parcels of real estate undeveloped.
An Example:
If a church owns a parcel of land in King County,
And the church intends to construct a new building to house the congregation's worship services,
Such a project requires paved parking.
Because of the Critical Areas Ordinance, in order to proceed with the construction, the church would need to purchase additional adjacent land.  
This enormously expensive adjacent property must be set aside - undeveloped - in perpetuity.
Such set-aside programs could make the construction project prohibitively expensive, unless StabilGrid is used instead of pavement.
StabiliGrid is water-permeable.   Therefore, construction of parking areas using StabliliGrid makes the purchase of adjacent property no longer necessary.

There are as many uses for StabiliGrid as there are people using it
Construction Site Staging Areas: Soil Stabilization or Grass Turf/Lawn Protection
Temporary staff/client parking on adjacent grass lots, during construction projects
Waterways erosion control
Patios
Pathways through the lawn
Carport floors
Utility areas (under trash containers, for example)
Storage areas (for vehicles, implements and machinery, etc.)
Surface stabilization on hills (under the grass sod or used to anchor gravel and stone and prevent surface migration - e.g., when walking on saturated lawns destroys the grass)
Around gates and entrances, where traffic tears up the grass
Equestrian Uses (paddocks and turnouts, dry lots, barn interior flooring, stalls and the runouts, etc.)
Around your home, you don't need to rely solely upon paving stones, gravel, asphalt, or concrete any more:
paving stones settle and become unlevel
gravel develops potholes, ruts, erosion, & washes away
asphalt and concrete requires patching and/or replacement, and is environmentally unsound

ECO-GRID eco-friendly soil stabilization paving alternative for green grass or gravel and stone ground surfaces roadways, driveways, parking lots and areas, sod carports, greenbelt grass walkways and paths.
Equestrian Uses: One Washington water conversation officer, after suggesting the use of hogfuel in equine areas for 10 years, is now suggesting ECO-GRID be used for paddocks, turnouts, runouts, and dry lots.
