Relatively maintenance free, requiring only basic lawn maintenance (watering, fertilizer and mowing) for grass filled pavers. Snowplow at least 1 inch above the paver. Two-Stage Snow Blower is recommended for snow removal on uneven or gravel surfaces because it has two augers involved in the snow removal process. The first auger is a slower moving steel serrated auger that chops and breaks up the snow. The snow is then pushed back into a second high-speed auger, which throws the snow out the chute and out of your way. No part of the augers ever come in contact with the ground, snow on the ground is pushed along via a scraper bar on the bottom of the unit. For gravel you just adjust the unit to leave a small layer of snow behind avoiding the gravel all together.
Consumer Benefits
ECORASTER® Paver System allows water to drain or permeate into the base. Many years asphalt was the top choice for driveways because it was simple and cheap to install. With the high price of oil the price of asphalt has changed substantially. Recycling the plastic waste and putting in a plastic grid system becomes slightly less expensive. Why would a homeowner or commercial agencies choose ECORASTER® recycled plastic pavers: Recycled Plastic waste turns into an environmentally neutral product that will not crack and rarely needs repairs even after decades of use. It is UV resistant, frost neutral and can withstand the heat. Creating Green Environment - ECORASTER® recycled plastic pavers are easy to install and give people the space that is green and still can be used for parking because the ECORASTER® Pavers are protecting the grass roots. Storm Water Control - Water flows through the pavers into the soil, and it becomes naturally filtered. Asphalt and concrete let pollutants from a car flow straight into drains and directly into the lakes and streams, creating floods. Prevent/remedy erosion on property. Contribute to the improvement of the environment by diminishing storm water contaminants in streams and rivers. Provides groundwater recharge and reduce storm-water runoff. Preserve and prevent erosion of stream beds and river banks if property drains directly into a stream. Minimize excessive pooling in low-lying areas due to runoff. Retain water on property which will benefit plants on property. Return water to the water table on property. Mud Control - Gravel driveways without grids form muddy spots and potholes. By using a ECORASTER®recycled plastic pavers system the water flows away from the surface, gravel is on the surface, water drains into the sub-base and help control mud. ECORASTER® Pavers will keep […]
