First Rain of the Year Delays Gilroy Library Project

California's Central Coast has enjoyed one of the mildest winters in history, with weather that harkens us back to summertime. Today marks the first day of rain for the New Year, bringing with it delays for installation crews.

After a few years of planning, the Girloy Library is finally undergoing its renovation and expansion.This project, seeking LEEDs Silver Certification as a result of Gilroy's resolution to "green" the city, will include  14,500 sq. ft. of Hydro-Flo pavingstones for its perimeter walkways and plazas.

Once installed, these pavers will increase the safety of the walkways by allowing water to be absorbed directly by the stone. Once the paver gains 12% of its weight in water, it will begin to release the water gently below the walkway, allowing it to soak into the earth rather than run off and cause problems. These pavers will beautify the Gilroy Library Campus with little to no maintenance for years to come

This project features our Hydro-Flo 6x6 Textured Estate Stones in our Painted Desert color scheme (B4). More pictures to be posted as installation progresses!
