TRASS BEDDING High Prairie’s Signature Hardscapes High Prairie’s Signature Hardscapes A SMARTER FOUNDATION FOR MODERN HARDSCAPES: EUROPEAN-STYLE TRASS BEDDING
For centuries, Roman concrete has been admired for its durability and self-healing capabilities. Today, European-style Trass Bedding applies the same pozzolanic science—enhanced with modern polymer technology—to deliver a bonded, permeable foundation for pavers. The result: concrete-level strength with water management built in, addressing freeze-thaw, efflorescence, and soil movement challenges that plague conventional systems.
WHY THE BEST ARCHITECTS AND STRUCTURAL PROFESSIONALS SPECIFY IT
Kansas City’s climate demands a solution that performs beyond the standard flexible base or rigid slab: Freeze-Thaw Resilience : With 50% internal voids, the system accommodates ice expansion and has passed 50 rapid freeze-thaw cycles without distress. Structural Strength: Achieves compressive strength of ~5,000 psi and rated for 40-ton vehicular loads, ensuring reliability for residential and commercial hardscapes. Integrated Drainage : Permeability eliminates hydrostatic pressure and surface water management issues common in traditional bases. Design Flexibility : Ideal for large-format pavers, high-traffic plazas, and premium residential installations. Efflorescence Prevention : Pozzolanic reaction neutralizes free lime, keeping surfaces visually pristine. Meets Sustainability Goals : Permeable assembly supports LEED credits for Rainwater Management, Heat Island Reduction, and Materials. Superior Performance : Eliminates frost heave and hydrostatic pressure. Low Lifecycle Cost : Built for 30–50+ years, reducing maintenance and replacements
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
✔ LEED Credit Opportunities: SS Credit: Rainwater Management (permeable system), SS Credit: Heat Island Reduction (paired with light pavers), MR Credit: Regional Materials (locally sourced aggregates), WE Credit: Stormwater Infiltration, and Innovation Credit for Extended Service Life & Reduced Embodied Carbon.
✔ Reduced CO ₂ footprint (~30% less cement than concrete slabs) ✔ Compatible with Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater goals
HOW YOUR CLIENTS BENEFIT
Lower Lifecycle Cost: Minimized maintenance, fewer callbacks, and long service life. Safety & Aesthetics: No paver displacement, tripping hazards, or joint degradation. Sustainability Credits: Supports permeable design initiatives for LEED and green certifications. No unsightly drains, standing water, or wobbly platform systems.
