Structural Soils

Whether it’s getting a tree to grow and establish in the middle of a parking lot or providing access for emergency vehicles, Utelite structural soils can help overcome the challenge. The placement of Utelite structural soils under paved surfaces or in fire access lanes ensures adequate amounts of water, oxygen and nutrients are available for root growth and establishment. The structural soil supports the pavement load or weight of emergency vehicles but also maintains an ideal soil environment for root establishment.
