What are Permeable Pavers?
Part of the S5 Sustainable Stormwater Solution, NDS Permeable Pavers provide
a high-performing alternative to traditional paving methods. Creating a strong
and durable grass or gravel surface that can support heavy vehicles, they
maintain permeable surface areas, eliminating or reducing stormwater runoff.
Benefits
Greatest Compressive Strength* – Offering a high load-bearing capacity, NDS Permeable
Pavers feature hexagonal cells that connect together to form a flexible grid system capable of handling
significant structural loads.
Easy Installation – EZ Roll™ products come in large rolls that are easily placed and clipped together.
TuffTrack™ features an integrated easy to assemble clip, that greatly reduces installation time.
Reduced Maintenance – Less expensive to maintain over time than traditional hardscaping
and reduces demands put on landscape drainage systems.
Environmentally Friendly – NDS Permeable Pavers contribute to LEED credits and are
made of 100% recycled plastic.
Sustainable – Grass and gravel paver systems allow for greater infiltration, naturally filtering
stormwater and reducing runoff that can pollute waterways.

Case Studies – Tufftrack™ Grass & Gravel Pavers
Emergency vehicle lane
Union
High School
Tulsa, OK
When the Tulsa Independent School District
prepared to open a new school, the design
team needed to incorporate emergency vehicle
access roads leading up to the building and
athletic facilities. The Tufftrack® Grass & Gravel
Paver was selected for its high compressive
strength of 81,744 psf and the flexibility
either to sod or seed the area immediately
following the 8,000 square foot installation.
Emergency access lane
Hilton
Garden Inn
Elk Grove, CA
6
An emergency access lane needed to be
added along the side of the property, but due
to the large width of the lane and proximity to
the hotel, the owners wanted a solution that
would be aesthetically pleasing as well as
functional. Tufftrack® Grass & Gravel Pavers
were selected and installed. Twelve years
later the site was revisited and inspected. The
Tufftrack® base is virtually indistinguishable
from the rest of the landscape. The result was,
and still is, a highly functional fire lane that can
be enjoyed by their guests when not in use.

Fire lane and
maintenance access
Access to the building facade was needed
for maintenance and to allow access for
emergency vehicles. EZ Roll™ was chosen
for its strength and flexibility, but also for
its aesthetic advantages. The ability to sod
directly on top of the product reduced the time
needed to seed and wait for growth, while
keeping up appearances at the busy casino.

Keller
High School
White Settlement, TX

A new school needed additional parking for
their football program and looked to covert a
former cow pasture they owned across the
street. The solution had to be aesthetically
pleasing, cost-effective and demonstrate to
the community an ongoing commitment to
supporting the environment. The 150,000
sq. ft. project was installed in just 10 days.

EZ Roll™
Gravel Pavers
EZ Roll™ Gravel Pavers reduce erosion
and help maintain the look and
functionality of a gravel road. Made
with 100% recycled materials, they also
minimize surface water runoff and present
an attractive and sustainable alternative
to traditional concrete or asphalt.
Manufactured in pre-assembled rolls,
EZ Roll™ greatly reduces installation time.
Applications
A continuous piece of geotextile fabric
provides the strength to hold the gravel
fill in place, yet is porous to allow for
the filtration of stormwater runoff.
Empty cells have a

Golf cart paths, service roads, jogging tracks, bike paths,
RV & boat access and parking, residential driveways, parking
lots, roadway shoulders, firelanes, emergency vehicle

Daily parking
Dallas
Arboretum
Dallas, Texas
Gastonia
Readiness
Center
Gastonia, NC
14
The arboretum is a high-profile facility in Dallas that
generates critical tourism and income to the area.
The busy arboretum needed additional parking to
accommodate a predicted rise in traffic volume
over the next decade and wanted something
that would blend in with the natural surroundings
while handling heavy amounts of traffic. They also
wanted a permeable solution that could mitigate
stormwater runoff. EZ Roll™ Gravel pavers
were selected for their strength, durability and
ease of installation. The project was completed
in two phases totaling 185,000 square feet.
Parking and
heavy vehicle access
An Army facility, the Gastonia Readiness Center
was adding two separate buildings for soldiers
and equipment along with a new parking lot
for forty vehicles. The new 16,000 sq. ft. lot
needed to supply daily parking, but also function
as an emergency access lane capable of
supporting the weight of National Guard military
vehicles. EZ Roll™ Gravel was selected for its
strength, permeability and overall aesthetics.

NDS has an over 40-year history manufacturing quality stormwater management
products. In that time our understanding and appreciation for the effects of
stormwater runoff on our environment has evolved, culminating in the development
of S5 Sustainable Stormwater Solutions. This evolution towards a system-based
approach to comprehensive stormwater management represents a paradigm shift
reflective of ongoing research, changing attitudes and advancing regulations that
aim to reduce runoff and maximize groundwater recharge. NDS is committed to
providing effective solutions for the next 40 years and beyond.
