District 54 Apartments

GEOBLOCK5150® Vegetated Porous Pavement System

The GEOBLOCK5150 grass paver system was specified for the vegetated emergency access lane at the District 54 Apartment Complex in Raleigh, North Carolina.

GEOBLOCK5150 is a 2-inch deep grass paver panel that connects to other panels with a tabular system. Multiple panels connect together to create a stabilized system that is filled with topsoil and seeded. In this application, the panels were laid in a bricklayer pattern but GEOBLOCK5150 can also be installed in a herringbone pattern.

The resulting grass fire lane can fully support an emergency access vehicle while improving stormwater infiltration and generally upgrading aesthetics of the high-end apartment complex.
