PaverGuide has developed a product called PaverGuide™, an injection-molded, recycled plastic, modular system designed to replace stone as a road base and reservoir below permeable paving. The reservoir allows for infiltration, or beneficial harvesting of storm water.

PaverGuide™ is a structural base for paving systems and exceeds H-20 loading. PaverGuide™ is installed faster and cheaper than the stone it replaces, and at 90 percent void, it provides a large rainwater reservoir and expansive infiltration surface.
