Concrete & Pavers on Holbox: concrete, stamped concrete and pavers
Where trucks turn, water sits or the look matters on Holbox, concrete and pavers outlast asphalt and can let rain soak into the ground. Streets flood after rain because the water table is near the surface; grades, permeable paving and avoiding hard surfaces are the main tools.
What We Pave
Hotel Grounds & Promenades
Pedestrian paths, golf-cart routes and promenades with root barriers, lighting and drainage.
Hydraulic Concrete
Concrete roads, yards and loading areas with doweled joints, curing compound and saw-cut control joints.
Interlocking Pavers
Concrete and stone pavers on a compacted base and bedding sand, easy to lift and relay for services.
Permeable paving and rules on Holbox
Holbox is inside the Yum Balam protected area; the island limits cars, and any street or site work faces strict environmental rules and coordination with the municipality of Lázaro Cárdenas. Permeable pavers, pervious concrete or grass pavers are chosen where these rules and the site make them the right answer.
Bases for concrete and pavers on Holbox
The island is sand over shell and limestone with a very high water table, so conventional asphalt structures are rarely suitable; pavers, stabilised sand and concrete are the realistic options. Base thickness, joints and edge restraints are designed for this ground so slabs and pavers stay level.
Plants, materials and access on Holbox
All materials cross by ferry from Chiquilá and move on the island with small vehicles, which makes Holbox the most expensive zone for paving and earthworks.
Traffic and work windows on Holbox
High season from December to April and summer holidays crowd the streets; works are planned in short phases with minimal noise and machinery.
