The 0.8-km (0.5-mi) path was installed in July 2016 by landscape company Land Escapes Design Studio and required 1858 m<sup>2<\/sup> (20,000 sf) of the eco-responsible paving material.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe installed two inches of the paving material on a base of six inches of \u00be-inch crushed gravel,\u201d said Trevor Smith, lead designer. \u201cThe brown color selected for the project harmonizes the paved path with the natural landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comprised of 50 percent recycled rubber chips and 50 percent chipped granite aggregate, the material\u2019s composition is expected to allow stormwater to flow through at a tested rate of 3.2 gallons per second per square foot, leaving no puddles on the surface\u2014even during heavy rains. Additionally, with its recycled rubber content, the pavement promises durable, frost-heave resistance, while also providing suitable traction to maximize user safety.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59652\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59652\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/06edit_06_PPave_WOPWP_BF-Cl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-59652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/06edit_06_PPave_WOPWP_BF-Cl-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/06edit_06_PPave_WOPWP_BF-Cl-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/06edit_06_PPave_WOPWP_BF-Cl-768x331.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/06edit_06_PPave_WOPWP_BF-Cl-500x216.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/06edit_06_PPave_WOPWP_BF-Cl.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The material for this installation is comprised of 50 percent recycled rubber chips and 50 percent chipped granite aggregate.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIf we want people to care about nature, they need opportunities and places to experience it,\u201d said Smith. \u201cThe challenge is giving people access to natural areas with minimal disruption.
