Where trucks turn, water sits or the look matters in Xpu-Há, concrete and pavers outlast asphalt and can let rain soak into the ground. Unpaved roads lose material with every storm and turn into channels; crossfall, side drains and permeable or sealed surfaces stop the yearly cycle of regrading.
Pedestrian paths, golf-cart routes and promenades with root barriers, lighting and drainage.
Concrete roads, yards and loading areas with doweled joints, curing compound and saw-cut control joints.
Concrete and stone pavers on a compacted base and bedding sand, easy to lift and relay for services.
Licences come from Solidaridad; most access roads cross private or ejido land under easements, and widening or paving them needs agreements with every owner along the route. Permeable pavers, pervious concrete or grass pavers are chosen where these rules and the site make them the right answer.
Between the highway and the beach the ground is limestone with cenotes and thin soil, changing to sand near the coast; sascab roads here rut and wash out quickly without a proper base and crossfall. Base thickness, joints and edge restraints are designed for this ground so slabs and pavers stay level.
About 30 minutes from our yard; hot-mix trucks reach the highway easily but narrow private roads limit the size of pavers and rollers, so long roads are paved in shorter daily sections.
Hotels and residents depend on a single access road, so works keep one lane open and are timed around check-in and deliveries; the rainy season makes sascab work difficult from June to October.
