NDS Gravel Pavers

A roll-out honeycomb grid with attached geotextile fabric that confines stone — reducing rutting, washouts, and spreading, while staying permeable so water drains through.

NDS Gravel Pavers are an ultra-strong hexagonal-cell rolled paver used to reduce erosion and maintain the look and functionality of gravel roads or parking lots. The roll-out grid confines stone so tires can't push it aside — turning loose gravel into a flatter, cleaner, more drivable surface that still drains like gravel.

Not sure how much you need? The Permeable Paver Selector and a quick takeoff help you plan rolls, base depth, and fill stone.

What This System Solves

Ruts & potholes

The honeycomb cells lock gravel in place so tires don't push it aside or dig in.

Gravel migration

The attached geotextile fabric helps keep stone from sinking into the base and disappearing.

Drainage issues

The surface stays permeable, so stormwater infiltrates through the structure instead of puddling.

Slow installs

It rolls out quickly — ideal for long straight runs like drive lanes and service roads.

Key Specs That Matter on the Jobsite

Spec	What it is	Why it matters
Roll coverage	~3.87' × 149' roll (about 577 sq ft per roll)	Helps you estimate rolls quickly for long drive lanes and parking areas.
Grid height	~1" tall honeycomb cells	Cell depth is what “holds” gravel in place and reduces shifting under tires.
Load capability	Designed to support heavy vehicles when properly installed	The base build (depth + compaction) is what turns the grid into a road-ready surface.
Anchors / stakes	Includes steel anchors for securing the roll	Anchoring prevents movement during filling and helps keep edges tight over time.
Permeable surface	Open cells + porous fabric allow infiltration	Reduces runoff and puddling compared to compacted gravel alone.

Best Use Cases

Great for

Residential gravel driveways and pull-offs
Overflow and event parking areas
Service roads, access lanes, and equipment routes
Trails, bike paths, and utility corridors
Runoff areas where gravel tends to wash or rut

Think twice if

You need a decorative patio finish (pavers/flagstone may look better)
Your site has poor subgrade soils and no room for base depth
You're above the recommended slope/grade for your load case
You can't keep fill stone within the recommended size range

Step-by-Step Installation

Plan your base depth for the load

Cars / pickups / medium loads: plan a minimum 6" base and keep slope at or below 10%. Fire-truck / H-20 / heavy loads: plan a minimum 8" base and keep slope at or below 6%. These assume proper compaction and a suitable subgrade — increasing base depth is the simplest upgrade for poor soils or heavy traffic.

Excavate & compact subgrade

Excavate to the required depth (base + 1" grid + gravel cover). Compact native soils before placing base, and use geotextile separation when needed on soft soils to keep the base from sinking.

Build & compact the base course

Place base aggregate in lifts and compact thoroughly. Grade the base smooth — your finished surface follows this plane. Set elevations so the filled grid ends at your target finished grade.

Roll out the pavers (fabric side down)

Roll the pavers out fabric-side-down on the prepared base. Set one roll first, then pull the next snug against it. Anchor/stake to prevent shifting during fill.

Fill with the right gravel

Use clean, angular stone for best lock-up (round pea gravel tends to migrate). A common target is 3/8" clean crushed gravel (often AASHTO #6 or similar). Work gravel into the cells and top off so the grid is fully supported.

Finish, then maintain like tight gravel

Top-dress if needed after initial settlement. Keep edges contained (edging/border helps long-term). Periodically inspect for damage and replace sections if required.

Using EZ Marker Domes

EZ Marker is a clip-in delineator that snaps into empty honeycomb cells after the grid is installed — a clean way to "paint lines" on gravel without paint.

Install the EZ Roll grid first — rolled out, aligned, anchored, and filled.
Pick your pattern (stall corners, lane edges, centerlines).
Snap markers into the target empty cells — no special tools.
Use contrasting colors to improve visibility.

Common Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

Underbuilding the base

If the base is too thin or poorly compacted, the surface still ruts — the grid can't fix a weak foundation. Match base depth to load and compact in lifts.

Using the wrong gravel

Rounded stone migrates and feels loose. Clean, angular gravel locks together better and stays put in the cells.

Skipping anchoring or loose seams

Anchors keep rolls from walking during fill and help edges stay tight. Align rolls snugly before staking.

Poor edge containment

Gravel surfaces last longer when edges are contained. A border/edging reduces lateral spread and keeps the install looking sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do EZ Roll gravel pavers actually stop rutting?

They dramatically reduce rutting by confining gravel in honeycomb cells, but performance still depends on a properly built and compacted base beneath the system.

How much base do I need?

A common minimum is 6" base for cars/pickups and 8" base for heavy loads like fire trucks (H-20), with maximum grade limits depending on load. Poor soils or repeated heavy use often justify additional base depth.

What gravel should I fill it with?

Clean, angular crushed gravel is typically recommended because it locks together. A common spec is clean crushed 3/8" gravel (AASHTO #6 or similar).

Can I use EZ Marker domes for parking layout?

Yes. EZ Marker snaps into empty cells after install to mark stalls, lanes, and fire lanes — especially useful for overflow/event parking where you want guidance without striping.

How many rolls will my project need?

Each roll covers about 577 sq ft. For a 12' × 80' driveway (960 sq ft) you'd typically plan for 2 rolls plus a small waste/trim allowance. Send your width, length, and heaviest expected vehicle and we'll help with a takeoff.
