CANADIAN HOME TRENDS & ENVIRO PAVING
CANADIAN HOME TRENDS USING
RECYCLED TIRES FOR PAVING IS A
FANTASTIC IDEA! HOW DID IT COME
TO BE?
ENVIRO PAVING The technology was
actually developed in Canada for cracked
driveways and Enviro Paving brought it across
the country through a network of franchises.
Traditional methods of paving cause a lot of
headaches to homeowners, because it can‘t
withstand harsh elements. Rubber, on the
other hand, is extremely durable and flexible
so it does not crack!
CHT HOW DOES IT HOLD UP IN
WINTER?
EP That’s one of the things our customers
love the most! Snow and ice do not stick
to rubber, and the ice will not bond to the
paving. When you are shoveling or blowing
the snow off, it goes very smoothly.
CHT WHAT ARE THE MAIN AREAS YOU
USUALLY PAVE?
EP Our main business is driveways, closely
followed by sidewalks, steps, patios, pool
decks, hot tub decks, play areas, you name
it! Because the product is porous, the water
goes through and does not stay on top.
This makes it an extremely safe, slip resistant
surface. For that reason, we also do a lot of
retirement homes, daycare playgrounds, golf
course pathways, hotels and schools. For
businesses like this, Enviro Paving is a fantastic
investment in safety for their clients. In some
cases, it can literally save lives!
CHT SUCH A HIGH-END PRODUCT
MUST BE EXPENSIVE. WHAT’S YOUR
PRICE RANGE?
EP You will be surprised. Enviro Paving is
actually much more cost effective than if you
were to replace your old, cracked, concrete
driveway! We go right on top of your old
cracked paving. You don’t have to tear it
all out and dispose of it which dramatically
reduces the cost.
CHT WHAT A GREAT IDEA! HOW IS THE
PRODUCT PLACED?
EP There is a bit of art to it. It’s poured in
place and we don’t use any heavy machinery.
It is all placed by hand, using simple tools,
with attention to esthetics and detail.
CHT HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
EP Most jobs can be poured in one day.
After 24 hours, you can walk on it and after
48 hours, you can drive on it.
CHT IT'S FASCINATING THAT YOU USE
ALL THESE MATERIALS, CAN YOU TALK
TO US ABOUT THE ECOLOGICAL SIDE
OF YOUR BUSINESS?
EP Thank you! Some companies like to claim
they are recycled, even though they use
man-made rubber chips. We make a point
of staying 100% recycled and using only
shredded tires that would otherwise go to
the landfill. We use about 100 tires on an
average driveway! The fact that we use no
machinery and you don’t have to tear out
old concrete and dispose of it makes a huge
impact on our carbon footprint. For example,
we only produce about 4% of the carbon
footprint that paving a similar area in asphalt!
