Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Landscape Design/Pedestrian Paths

[Buzz Harris (buzz]

Hi folks.

I love the look of these honeycombed pavers, but I have a winter-related 
question for those of us in cold climes.  Does anyone have experience 
plowing snow off of these?  It certainly looks as though it would compact 
down into the holes and, potentially, create a very slick, icy surface for 
winter walking (or falling!).

I really do not like the look of asphalt pathways in a pedestrian 
community, but their advantage here in New England is that it is easy to 
plow snow off of them.  I would love to find a porous walkway solution 
which can also be easily snow-plowed without leaving a dangerous walking 
surface in our long winters.  Does anyone have experience with somethng 
like this?

Thanks,

Buzz
