Project Profile:

Garden of the Gods

Project Summary

Commercial horse trail through this beautiful park with a view of Pikes Peak. Gravelpave2 was used to stabilize eroding loose soils and maintain the natural appearance. A 7% sandstone colored cement was added to 3/16” sharp gravel, compacted into the rings, misted with water, let set for 48 hours to cure, and finally top dressed with site soils. “I estimate the Gravelpave2 installation has cut maintenance cost and time by 80 percent.” - Greg Jensen, Senior Park Maintenance Technician

Gravel Pavers were installed at the Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado, using Gravelpave2.

Prior to installation, horses would rut the trail and rain would erode away the soil causing large, dangerous trenches.

Permeable Pavers were installed at the Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado, using Gravelpave2.

Trenches filled and smoothed. Base course installation was not needed in this case since the existing rocky/sandy soil was optimal for support.

Pervious Paving was installed at the Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado, using Gravelpave2.

Shaping the Gravelpave2 rolls to fit the curves and hills. Gravelpave2 was pinned down using eight inch anchors and washers (provided with the order).
