Valley Oak Co-Housing in Sonoma
A fantastic new co-housing community in the City of Sonoma now has pervious concrete walkways throughout their development. Designers and architects chose Evolution Paving’s Architectural Fine Sidewalk mix for the pervious walkways in the new multi family residential neighborhood. This project features many ‘green’ details, from all of the hardscapes being pervious, to the radiant floor heating. Of course our favorite was the pervious concrete! The pervious concrete sidewalk mix was to be installed with curbs, so we used those as the forms.
This mix uses much smaller crushed aggregate, so the finished product features a smoother finish. In an attempt to mitigate costs, this pervious concrete was poured in composite lifts, 4” of 3/8 pervious concrete and 1” of the Architectural Fine Mix. It was an exciting challenge to logistically get it all in place - AND it turned out GREAT!
We worked with Evolution Paving out of Salem, Oregon, mixing the Architectural Fines Sidewalk mix, as well as a great mix collaboration with Shamrock Materials in Sonoma County for the 3/8 layer.
