TrueGrid high-performance pavers control runoff, create less thermal pollution and reduce waste for landfills, among other ecological benefits. Made of post-consumer recycled high- density polyethylene, the pavers have revolutionized the construction industry with versatility, attractiveness and 100% permeability.
Some of the most recognizable national names rely on TrueGrid for parking areas, streets, walkways and bike paths — Whole Foods, NASCAR, AutoNation, Super Bowl LI’s Club Nomadic, the New York City Ferry.
