TrueGrid
The Perfect and Green Paving Solution Your Property Needs
At Burton Restoration, we believe in building better, not just building. This philosophy is perfectly embodied by TrueGrid, an innovative permeable paving system that's reshaping how we think about infrastructure and environmental health. Developed by Barry Stiles with a deeply personal commitment to reducing environmental toxins, TrueGrid offers a powerful green solution for diverse paving needs, providing both incredible durability and significant ecological benefits. It's more than just pavement; it's a step towards a healthier, more sustainable future for our communities.
Ground Stabilization and Erosion Prevention
One of TrueGrid's primary benefits is its exceptional ability to provide ground stabilization and prevent erosion. Its patented interlocking grid system, made from 100% recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), creates a robust foundation. The thick-walled cells and integrated flex joints allow it to withstand heavy loads and adapt to ground movement, effectively preventing cracks, rutting, and soil displacement common in traditional asphalt and concrete. This inherent stability protects landscapes from environmental stressors, promoting long-term integrity.
Superior Stormwater Management
TrueGrid stands out as a superior stormwater management solution. Unlike impermeable surfaces that shed water, TrueGrid allows rainwater to infiltrate directly through its surface, effectively detaining thousands of gallons of stormwater. This process significantly reduces runoff, minimizes flooding, and helps replenish groundwater. By naturally filtering stormwater, TrueGrid contributes to cleaner waterways and healthier ecosystems, demonstrating a crucial step in green infrastructure development.
Unmatched Durability and Longevity
Beyond its environmental advantages, TrueGrid offers impressive durability and longevity. Engineered with built-in flex joints, it adapts to ground movement, preventing the cracks and damage frequently seen in conventional paving materials. This robust design means TrueGrid can last 25 to 60+ years, often outperforming asphalt and matching or exceeding the lifespan of concrete.
Versatile Applications and Certifications
TrueGrid's versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from driveways and parking lots to industrial sites and even deck support systems, as demonstrated by a recent successful deck restoration project. A prime example of its impact is the Bend nonprofit Think Wild restoration, where Burton Restoration utilized 1,840 square feet of TrueGrid Pro Plus, saving 5.46 tons of CO2 and reusing 2,429 pounds of recycled plastic. This project also achieved Deschutes County's first ADA-compliant walkway and parking area without concrete or asphalt. TrueGrid also qualifies for four LEED certifications (Stormwater Management, Recycled Content, Innovation & Design, Materials & Resources), reinforcing its environmental impact.
