Unpaved Road Stabilization

Engineered for innovation. Built to last.

Midwest NaturalPave® helps unpaved roads stay stronger and last longer.

Create the Superior Road Structure

NaturalPave is an engineered, unpaved road stabilization solution ONLY from Midwest.

Midwest doesn’t give in or give up. It’s always been a given that unpaved roads ride rough, lose materials, cause hazards, and often need work. Midwest saw an opportunity to use advanced nanotechnology soil stabilization polymers to dramatically enhance the performance of unpaved and gravel roads for agricultural, forestry, oil and gas, wind and solar alternative energy, utility, private, and military roads. Then, we kept working, applying, improving, and studying to make our proprietary stabilization solutions your best choice.

NaturalPave is ideal when you don’t have the money to add asphalt or chipseal or want to spend the time and expense for its maintenance — yet want an unpaved surface that feels and behaves more like pavement.

Upgrade your unpaved roads to NaturalPave.

Formulated to improve strength and extend the useful life of the road, our innovative, polymer-based binding system consists of stabilizing the upper 4-6" of the existing unpaved road surface or in-place native soils. By using what’s already there, you often eliminate the need to import costly aggregate.

Unpaved roads don’t have to be a haven for unhealthy and unsafe dust. You don’t have to accept constant surface deterioration like potholes, rutting, and washboarding. You don’t have to pay for maintenance that never ends and accomplishes little.

Midwest created NaturalPave to change unpaved roads — forever. It’s now possible to improve unpaved road performance, strength, and longevity. You get a durable, smooth, all-weather surface that improves drivability, safety, and structural integrity while reducing dust and maintenance requirements and costs.

HOLDS UP TO THE MOST EXTREME TRAFFIC DEMANDS

When we see a problem, we solve it. Unpaved and gravel roads degrade, break down, lose their aggregate and soil, and become structurally unsound. These are common issues because 70% of America’s 4+ million public roads are rural, with about 35% remaining unpaved (FHWA, 2012). Worse still, the vast majority of these rural roads are not eligible for federal funding, leaving many municipalities, townships, and districts making up the shortfall.

That’s why we developed proprietary stabilization chemistries more than a half-century ago — and we’ve been perfecting them ever since. Midwest improves unpaved road performance, strength, and longevity by stabilizing the existing road surface or in-place native soils.

SO MUCH MORE THAN SKIN-DEEP.

NaturalPave soil stabilization is customized to your project. Our in-house lab tests site-specific factors such as soil, traffic, and climate. Additionally, Midwest is trusted by municipalities, industry, and private road owners and assists you with engineering and support such as lab-tested mix designs, on-site technical assistance available during installation, and field validation to confirm performance targets
