DIY Residential Patios
Simply level your base, lay and clip the grids together, then fill with local gravel. That’s it. A solid, durable, permeable patio you can build yourself.
Solid yet Permeable
A quick introduction to what exactly our Foundation are
How Do They Work?
Our grids lock gravel in place, creating a solid feel while staying completely permeable by preventing gravel from migrating or compacting.
1. Install the Grid
2. Lock Gravel in Place
3. Stable, Permeable Surface
I’ve used CORE landscape products in so many designs and I’m always happy. In fact, I even remember when I first discovered their stabilizer products, and I couldn’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner. Not only does it help the landscape last longer, it’s far easier to maintain
because the groundcover stays where it is supposed to, and it’s way easier to walk or roll on. On top of this, the sales and support team at CORE is world class. This takes any landscape to the professional level.

Product applications
Commercial Patios
Perfect for high-traffic patios, creating a stable surface that keeps tables and chairs moving smoothly.
Residential Vehicle Use
A fraction of the cost of concrete, with savings on both materials and installation. Permeable by design, helping reduce or eliminate costly drainage engineering, curbs, and gutters while providing a dry, stable surface for daily vehicle use year-round.
Commercial Parking
Instead of having to install pavers or concrete with excessive drainage costs and stress to storm sewers. Our grids provide a full permeable foundation that is unbelievably fast to install.
Commercial Access Lanes
U.S. Fire Marshal approved for fire truck access lanes on slopes up to 18%, creating a reliable, permeable, and structurally strong foundation for fire trucks and other heavy access vehicles.
Premium Estates
Gravel offers a more sophisticated look than concrete, but loose gravel can be impractical. By locking the gravel in place, our grids create a premium, level, flat, dry, and divot-free surface without sacrificing the natural look of gravel.
Public Parks
Ideal for daily pedestrian use and wheelchair accessibility. No puddles, no loose gravel dispersion, just a stable, level, accessible surface built to perform for years.
ADA Compliant Surfaces
Fully ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible, our grids create stable, permeable pathways without the need for traditional impermeable paving in both public and residential applications.
Residential Pathways
Create clean, stable residential pathways without the mess of shifting gravel or muddy low spots. Our grids lock aggregate in place to provide a level, permeable surface that stays neat, walkable, and low maintenance for years.
Commercial Pathways
Built for high-traffic commercial pathways, our grids create a stable, permeable surface that keeps gravel locked in place and reduces rutting, puddling, and ongoing maintenance. Ideal for public spaces, commercial landscapes, and everyday pedestrian traffic.
Commercial Parking
Build durable commercial parking areas without the cost and drainage demands of traditional paving. Our grids create a strong, permeable foundation that locks gravel in place, handles daily vehicle traffic, and helps reduce rutting, puddling, and ongoing maintenance.
