As the rains arrive this winter, there’s a lot on everyone’s mind. How will the ranch handle the water? What can I do to prevent erosion? How can I keep my horses from standing in excessive moisture? Eco GreenGrid™ is a tough, durable, interlocking grid system designed to provide turf protection, ground reinforcement and erosion control for barns, stalls, pathways, parking and traffic areas. Once laid it can be filled with stone, earth or seeded. It can be used as both a permeable paving surface for pedestrian and vehicular traffic areas; or as a soil stabilizer and mud abatement solution. Made in the U.S.A. of recycled plastics, Eco GreenGrid™ meets today’s need for environmentally sustainable permeable surfaces. Permeable paving (also known as pervious or porous pavement) defines the method of paving a surface so that it allows the flow of water through it. This allows storm water to filter through the soil below the paved surface, preventing the numerous environmental issues associated with water runoff. Eco GreenGrid provides a “green” asphalt alternative and an effective method of erosion control. For more information, visit www.ecogreengrid.com or call (503) 975-0141. See ad on page 22.
