Make a road (or do maintenance on a road) using environmentally friendly products it's much simpler than it used to be. Technological and scientific evolution has in fact led to the development of new materials that allow us to create ecological road pavements and permeable on the most disparate terrains and situations.
Whether it's about doing maintenance on dirt roads, create cycle paths or avenues within protected areas subject to historical, landscape and environmental restrictions with 100% ecological materials it is not only possible, but also more convenient from an economic and practical point of view compared to more "traditional" materials. The new solutions, in fact, allow works to be carried out in a shorter period of time and with lower costs.
In short, making an ecological road pavement is not only simpler and faster, but also allows you to obtain economic savings that should not be underestimated. Among the various options available, however, which solution to choose? Let's evaluate together the advantages of materials such as stabilized earth or construction techniques such as lawn protection grids and when it is appropriate to use one or the other.
Ecological road paving: the advantages of stabilized earth
La stabilized land It is an eco-friendly and environmentally friendly material that can be used for create draining floors and characterized by a high degree of mechanical resistance. An extremely versatile material, therefore, which can be used for the construction of roads, avenues, pedestrian paths, cycle paths, greenways and much more.
Stabilized earth is made using materials already present on the construction site (for example, by mixing excavated earth with environmentally friendly stabilizers) or recycled aggregates from demolition. This allows the ecological impact of this solution to be further reduced: in fact, it may not be necessary to use materials from quarries or to use heavy vehicles to transport material hundreds of kilometers away.
Furthermore, eco-friendly stabilizers like those in the line Nature Stabil Road by Terra Solida Italia they do not release polluting chemicals in the environment and in the aquifers underlying the road surface. Last but not least, once the flooring has reached the end of its "life cycle", the material used must not be sent to landfill as special waste. Everything can be recycled and reused, since no chemical substances dangerous for the environment or for people are used during the process of creating the surface.
In short, the stabilized land it's definitely one of the main solutions to be taken into consideration to create ecological and draining road paving. Made with low environmental impact products, it is 100% recyclable and does not release pollutants into the environment and the underlying aquifers.
Ecological road paving: the advantages of the lawn protection grid
La lawn protection grill – also called reinforced lawn – is a construction technique that allows you to create avenues (both within public parks and in private gardens) without having to give up the green of the turf. This solution, in fact, allows you to create a completely ecological and draining road pavement while maintaining the lawn at the same time.
As? By installing a honeycomb net – made of plastic or concrete – at the base of the lawn: this solution allows you to create a driveable lawn and walkable, on which vehicles and heavy vehicles can pass without fear of sinking or getting stuck in the event of heavy rain. Simple and economical to create, the lawn protection grid represents an excellent solution for creating short access avenues to parking areas or cycle paths in a pristine environment.
The lawn-saving nets of Garden Grid line by Terra Solida ItaliaFurthermore, they are made with materials deriving from renewable sources and specially designed and built to last over time, even in conditions of use with high traffic frequency.
Ecological road paving: which one to choose
Choose between the various solutions to do outdoor flooring that are ecological and draining It's less complex than you might think. In fact, everything depends on the type of work that needs to be carried out: for flooring, do some long and complex floors the most suitable solution is represented by stabilized earth; For short avenues or large surfaces in uncontaminated rural contexts, the lawn protection grid is the way to go.
In the first case, in fact, the mixture between the soils present in situ, the eco-compatible binder and various types of aggregates allows the creation of draining and very resistant surfaces in a short time and immediately transitable. Thus, whether it is a new cycle path, the pedestrian avenue of a public park or the resurfacing of a country road, you will be sure that the execution times are limited and the costs are not excessive.
In the second case, however, the lawn protection net allows you to obtain a surface that is resistant and beautiful to look at: the grass will be able to continue to grow without problems, while the transit of vehicles will be made safe by the honeycomb structure underneath.

We have a shop on a farm with a stabilized yard and access road
we have a problem with potholes in autumn and dust in summer
Good morning sir. Leandro, thank you for the request. I know that in recent days he was contacted by a Terrasolida area manager and I hope he was satisfied. We remain at his disposal.
