Landscaping today is not just about aesthetics; it's also about practicality and sustainability. Mainland Aggregates offers two essential products for modern landscaping: Geotextile Membranes and Ecogrid. These products are not only effective but also straightforward to use.
Geotextile Membranes: Simple and Effective
Geotextile membranes are used for three main purposes in landscaping: separation, filtration, and reinforcement. Each of these functions is crucial for maintaining the structure and health of landscaped areas.
The Non-Woven Geotextile Membrane NW8, equivalent to Terram 1000, is a thermally bonded, high-performance material used in various civil engineering, building, and landfill projects. It's essential for creating stable bases under access roads and for constructing equestrian arenas, acting as a separator to maintain distinct layers. NW8 is also employed in lining drainage trenches, allowing water to pass through while blocking soil particles. Its non-slip properties provide excellent traction, but due to its porosity, it's not suitable for weed prevention.
On the other hand, the Woven Geotextile Membrane G90 is a versatile and robust material designed for various applications in civil engineering, building, and landfill projects. Its primary function is to act as a drainage filter and separator, providing a stable foundation layer for access roads, both temporary and permanent. In equestrian arenas, G90 serves as a crucial separator between the sub-base and drainage layers, ensuring the integrity of the surface and preventing drainage blockages. This membrane is also effective in lining drainage trenches, allowing water flow while stopping soil particles. Its high-performance filtering capability makes it ideal for uses like equestrian arenas, land drains, paving, weed control, driveways, pathways, and root barriers.
Mainland Aggregates provides a range of geotextile membranes that can be easily ordered online and delivered across the nation. Whether it’s for a small garden project or a large commercial landscape, the right type of membrane is readily available.
Ecogrid: Durable and Versatile
Ecogrid is known for its strength and durability. Made from recycled plastic, it's a sustainable choice that doesn’t compromise on performance. It can handle heavy loads, making it suitable for a variety of uses, from driveways to parking lots.
Its ease of installation is another benefit. You don’t need specialised equipment or training to put it in place. Moreover, Ecogrid is aesthetically pleasing, blending well with different landscapes. It's so reliable that it's even used in demanding environments and approved by organisations like NATO.
Our Ecogrid E40 cellular paving system, also known as Compave, is an innovative paving solution crafted from 100% recycled material. This robust cellular system, easily interlocking to cover large areas, supports a remarkable load of 120 tonnes per square meter. Designed for filling with gravel or topsoil, it's perfect for creating strong, yet visually appealing surfaces. ECOGRID excels in applications like emergency vehicle access, green parking, driveways, and walkways, blending durability with environmental consciousness for various heavy-duty and aesthetic landscaping needs.
In modern landscaping, it's important to have products that are easy to use, effective, and environmentally friendly. Mainland Aggregates' geotextile membranes and Ecogrid meet these needs. They are practical solutions that enhance and protect your landscaping projects, ensuring longevity and stability. Whether you’re working on a small garden or a large public space, these products provide straightforward, reliable solutions.
