Our unique DreamPave surface is 100% Natural Granite, crushed into small, pea-gravel sized aggregate (stones). The aggregate is mixed on-site with our patented, DreamPave Resin which is winterized, plant-based and non-flammable. In some applications, we can add optional glass dust to create anti-slip DreamPave surfaces!
DreamPave surfaces have the appearance of loose, natural aggregates with the structure of finished pavements. If you were to see one of our samples, people describe it looking like a big Rice Crispy squares. Just not nearly as soft, nor as tasty.
Not at all. DreamPave has been built on the back of giants in the UK and Germany. Over 30+ years, over 80 Million Square feet of our European cousin has been installed. At DreamPave Technologies, we worked with the National Research Council of Canada, and permeable scientists to develop a ‘little something’ which we added, to winterize DreamPave to withstand our Canadian Climate. We’ve installed in Ottawa for over 8 years, and 210+ projects; Each project is still as strong as Day 1.
Absolutely! DreamPave has been used in Germany and the UK for 30+ years, with over 80 Million Square Feet installed. DreamPave has been scientifically tested by the University of Ottawa. In fact, the Civil Engineers testing our DreamPave samples expressed that in their 30 years of testing, they’ve never seen any other surface like DreamPave. Learn more here.
While we admire all the awesome DIYers, DreamPave is not a DIY (Do-it-Yourself) product. It requires industry grade equipment and proper training. Thus, only our growing network of DreamPave Authorized Pro Installers are able to install DreamPave.
Absolutely. DreamPave is considered L.I.D. – Low Impact Development. It has the lowest carbon footprint of any surface to produce. We mix it on-site, so together we avoid any carbon-heavy production.
Good news is DreamPave is strong enough to be used for both residential and commercial applications! On a surface that behaves more like steel than traditional pavement, DreamPave can accommodate heavy commercial vehicles, including snow plows!
Great question. Again, based on independent, scientific testing, DreamPave is 6X stronger than asphalt, and 1.6X stronger than concrete and is the most flexible, so it does not crack with normal wear and tear. Learn more here.
Yes of course! DreamPave is salt and chlorine resistant. Best is, you can expect to use 50% less salt too!
Yes! DreamPave scientific tests included friction test, which passed with flying colours. You can run a snow plough on it as well.
Nope! Say bye-bye to your beloved weeds! 🙂 Part of your DreamPave Warranty ensures you do not need to worry about weed growth from under your DreamPave surface for 10 years.
Sorry, but no maintenance required here! DreamPave is highly porous; every square centimeter of DreamPave is permeable. The only maintenance if you wish, is to give it a light power-wash every couple years…but that is optional. You can contact us about our Pure-Shine Program.
Our After-Care program is like no other. Years down the road, like any surface exposed to UV Rays, resin-surfaces can dull and wear over time. That’s why we’ve developed our DreamPave Pure-Shine Program. A system that enables our authorized installers to re-spray our patented resin. Exclusively for DreamPave clients, this ensures that when you install a DreamPave surface, it can look as good as it did on Day 1, for a long time.
Yes, DreamPave is pet friendly. DreamPave is quite smooth as its finished with a power trowel that flattens the individual stones. It’s very pleasant walk on bare-foot, so your furry friends will not have any issues.
Not at all. DreamPave has Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), and is actually a natural water filter!
No it’s not. In fact, DreamPave is Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), and it is actually acts as a natural water filter!
Not at all. DreamPave has Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), and is actually a natural water filter!
Not at all! DreamPave is slip-resistant. When combined with an optional secret ingredient, DreamPave becomes Anti-slip! Due to the Geo-thermal effect, and because a DreamPave surface ‘breathes’, moisture evaporates quick than other surfaces.
As previously mentioned, the Geo-Thermal effect means your DreamPave surface will be noticeably cooler than asphalt, concrete and interlock surfaces. Some clients with our darker colours, experience a comfortably ‘cool’ DreamPave surface to walk on during hot summer days versus the interlock stones they replaced with DreamPave.
Yes! DreamPave meets CSA Group standards for structure and follows its guidelines for meeting hydrology design and requirements. DreamPave also follows ASTM for our lab testing / pavement design, and ASCE for structural engineering of permeable pavements and their sub base.
You will enjoy a very unique, textured yet smooth surface when you install DreamPave for your driveway, walkway, patio or pool area.
DreamPave is a pour-in-place permeable paving material, and is a LID (low impact development) product since DreamPave is mixed on-site, without the use of any carbon heavy manufacturing plants and mixing equipment.
DreamPave permeable surfacing is designed for the Canadian climate, and the most flexible surface, allowing it to withstand freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or heaving. With Funding provided by the NRC, we’ve achieved a technological breakthrough enabling DreamPave to resist strength loss from freeze-thaw cycles.
DreamPave permeable surfaces are referred to a Zero Water Run-off. The DreamPave surface and system prevents storm water from running into the sewers and into our rivers, streams and our water supply. Help us help you save the environment, and install your DreamPave driveway today!
Yes DreamPave surfaces are being used to mitigate flooding, and circumvent the need for traditional stormwater infrastructure. DreamPave saves developers and builders as a Low Impact Development Strategy.
Absolutely! DreamPave Technologies’ team of LID specialized engineers, with Masters Degrees in Modern Stormwater Management for Smart Green Cities, will evaluate your current site plan and optimize for: cost savings, sustainable stormwater management and land usage!
Stormwater Management Design – The future of land development will include a stormwater management design that minimizes the need for infrastructure and maximizes natural drainage. Provide us with your stormwater targets and we will provide you a high-level LID solution that can save millions while helping to naturally restore aquifers and reduce pollution.
