Driveways are an important part of any home or business, but excess moisture can cause problems in the winter months. For engineers, urban planners, and landscape architects, the challenges caused by poor water management on traditional driveways are significant. Puddles form after every rainstorm, ice creates hazards in winter, and erosion silently compromises structural integrity.

Traditional materials like asphalt and concrete are not the best at managing water. This leads to cracks, repairs, and frustration. Engineers, urban planners, and landscapers often face these challenges.

Enter BaseCore Geocells. BaseCore Geocells offer a simple, effective solution. They combine advanced water management with surface stabilization. By eliminating puddles, reducing ice, and preventing erosion, BaseCore helps create strong, reliable driveways that professionals can rely on.

The Problem with Traditional Driveways

How Poor Water Management Affects Driveway Durability

Traditional driveway materials, such as asphalt and concrete, don’t allow water to pass through. While practical on the surface, their inability to manage water creates significant challenges over time:

  • Puddles: Water collects on the surface, weakening the material underneath.
  • Ice: When water freezes, it creates slippery surfaces and causes cracks to expand.
  • Erosion: Water runoff washes away the soil, damaging the driveway edges and creating ruts.

These issues not only make your driveway look bad but also cause structural damage. Maintenance costs increase, and failing to meet stormwater management regulations adds further complications.

BaseCore Geocells tackle these issues at their source. 

BaseCore Geocells effectively eliminate puddles, ice, and poor water management on driveways, preventing the formation of ruts and washouts in surrounding areas.

This innovative approach ensures long-term performance while minimizing maintenance demands.

BaseCore Geocells: A Game-Changing Solution

How Do BaseCore Geocells Work?

The geocells are permeable to let water flow through them. This moves water away from the surface and into the ground or to the sides of the driveway. The geocells not only strengthen driveway surfaces but also manage water effectively to prevent common issues like puddles, ice, and erosion.

It acts as both a stabilizer and a water filtration system, directing water away while preventing erosion and maintaining the driveway’s integrity. This design creates a driveway surface that is not only safer but also more durable and environmentally friendly.

Key Benefits of Permeable Driveways with BaseCore

Transforming Driveways with Advanced Drainage and Durability

BaseCore Geocells offer numerous benefits for professionals designing driveways:

  • No More Puddles or Ice: The geocells move water away from the surface. This stops puddles from forming and keeps ice from building up in winter.
  • Stops Erosion: The system holds the soil in place, keeping the driveway stable and intact.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: Water filters into the ground, reducing runoff and helping the environment.

Materials and Customization

BaseCore Geocells are designed for a range of aggregate materials and site conditions to meet project-specific requirements:

  • Recommended Materials: Aggregates such as #57 stone, ¼-minus, or ⅜-minus are ideal for filling geocells. These tightly packed materials enhance stability and improve traction.
  • Custom Fit for Projects: Whether the driveway is flat or sloped, BaseCore has options for lots of projects. The 3-inch geocell is perfect for residential use, while the 4- and 6-inch options handle higher load capacities in commercial applications.
