A logistics company in Ohio was spending $8,000 annually on regrading and replacing gravel that had migrated, rutted, and turned their parking lot into a maintenance nightmare. Three years after installing a gravel grid system, they haven’t touched it once. The total savings paid for the original installation cost in just 18 months. If you’ve

Commercial property owners routinely save 60% or more on parking lot construction by choosing gravel over asphalt or concrete. For a 50-space lot, that difference can exceed $50,000 in upfront costs alone—funds that can be redirected toward other facility improvements or held in reserve for future maintenance.

A logistics facility in Ohio spent $8,000 every year regrading and replenishing their traditional gravel parking lot. Ruts formed monthly. Gravel migrated into landscaping. Puddles appeared after every rain. After installing a BaseCore HD geocell system, they haven’t touched the surface in five years—and the HDPE material is engineered to provide 75+ years of ground

Municipal parks implementing geocell systems like BaseCore gravel grid technology can achieve 60% reduction in pathway maintenance costs while meeting ADA compliance standards, based on geocell industry performance data documented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and geotechnical engineering studies. This cellular confinement technology transforms loose gravel into stable, permeable surfaces supporting everything from

BaseCore geocell technology delivers 75-year structural performance while permeable grid pavers typically require replacement every 20-25 years, according to materials testing conducted under ASTM D5262 standards. This fundamental difference in longevity transforms project economics, particularly when municipalities and developers evaluate total lifecycle costs for parking areas, access roads, and stormwater management systems.

Now comes the moment that determines whether your investment performs flawlessly for decades or fails within months: installation. Here’s the reality that experienced contractors understand: geocell systems are remarkably forgiving of site

Demystifying the Geocell Ordering Process You’ve decided geocells make sense for your project. Maybe you’re tired of dealing with gravel that won’t stay put, or you need a solution for erosion control on a slope. Perhaps you’re planning a new access road or parking area and geocells keep coming up as the smart alternative to

Why Your Parking Lot Design Matters More Than You Think If you’re reading this, you’re probably facing one of these scenarios: Your current gravel parking lot has turned into a muddy mess (again).
