TrueGrid Pro-Plus: Heavy-Duty Permeable Paving
TrueGrid Pro-Plus is the industry-leading commercial permeable paver, built for heavy loads and high traffic. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Weight Capacity
Pro-Plus can handle over 1,000,000 lbs of compression strength per square foot, making it ideal for heavy vehicles like trucks and rigs.
Problems Eliminated
No more potholes, puddles, or cracks—common issues with asphalt and concrete. It also prevents gravel migration, reducing the need for frequent refills.
Problems Solved
Pro-Plus eliminates runoff and flooding by providing 100% pervious cover and stormwater detention in the subbase, protecting Wisconsin’s groundwater. It also reduces dust in industrial yards, as seen in projects near schools.
Service Life
With a patented design combining flexibility and strength, Pro-Plus lasts 20-60+ years, outlasting traditional paving methods.
Additional Benefits
Made from 100% post-consumer recycled HDPE, it’s eco-friendly and non-toxic. It’s snow plow-able, works in all climates, and requires little to no maintenance. The system also includes SuperSpot markers for easy parking delineation.
Applications of TrueGrid Pro-Plus
Pro-Plus is perfect for a wide range of heavy-duty applications in Wisconsin:
- Commercial parking lots
- Retail centers
- Equipment and truck yards
- Storage lots
- Drive lanes and roadways
- Fire lanes
- Erosion control projects
- RV pads and event centers
- Sports venues and stables
Basic Installation Guide for TrueGrid Pro-Plus
Prepare the Subbase
Excavate to a depth of 6 inches for the base plus 1.8 inches for the grid. Lay a 3/4-inch to 1.5-inch clean, angular gravel base and level it with a plate compactor.
Lay the Grids
Start in a corner with male tabs facing out. Snap together pre-assembled 4’x4’ sheets (4 grids each) by aligning female slots over male tabs and pressing down with your feet.
Cut to Fit
Use a circular saw or angle grinder to cut grids around obstacles like curbs or trees.
Fill the Grids
Fill with 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch angular gravel to the top of the grid. Lightly compact to settle the gravel.
Final Touches
Ensure the grid is level or slightly below surrounding grade. Add SuperSpot markers if delineating parking spaces.
TrueGrid Root: Grass Paving for Light Loads
TrueGrid Root is the go-to choice for grass paving, offering a natural look with robust performance. Here’s what it offers:
Weight Capacity
Root can handle light to moderate loads, supporting cars, trucks, RVs, and even light aircraft, though exact weight capacity depends on soil conditions (typically up to 120,000 lbs).
Problems Eliminated
No more mud, ruts, or erosion in grass areas. Root stabilizes grass, preventing damage from vehicle traffic.
Problems Solved
Root provides 100% permeability, eliminating runoff and reducing flood risk while recharging groundwater—a key benefit for Wisconsin’s lakes and waterways.
Service Life
With proper installation, Root offers a long lifespan of 20-60+ years, similar to Pro-Plus, due to its durable HDPE construction.
Additional Benefits
No excavation or permits are needed for installation, making it DIY-friendly. It’s made from 100% recycled HDPE, is non-toxic, and allows grass to grow naturally through the grid, maintaining a green aesthetic.
Applications of TrueGrid Root
Root is ideal for light-traffic, grass-covered applications in Wisconsin:
- Grass driveways
- RV and boat storage pads
- Golf Cart Paths
- Light Aircraft taxiway/runway
- Helicopter pads
- Pet areas and dog runs
- Muddy yeard and community green spaces
- Contert venues and patios
- Trails and walkways
Basic Installation Guide for TrueGrid Root
Root’s installation is simple and requires no excavation, perfect for DIY projects:
Prepare the Grass
Wet the grass area thoroughly to soften the soil.
Lay the Grids
Place the pre-assembled 4’x4’ sheets (4 grids each) with the patented X-Anchors and Gripper Teeth facing up. Snap them together by aligning female slots over male tabs and pressing down with your feet.
Press into Grass
Use a heavy roller, plate compactor, or hand tamper to press the grids into the grass. The grids should sit flush with the surface.
Cut to Fit
Trim around obstacles like trees or shrubs using a circular saw.
Final Touches
The grid is ready for immediate use—no fill required. Mow the grass as normal, and it will grow through the grid over time.
