Abstract:
A core for insertion into a void formed in or by a paver, and a method of making the core. The core includes a soil, a binder holding the core in a shape adapted for being received into the void, and may include phytoremediating plant seeds and/or a soil stabilizer. The binder may be biodegradable or not, and may be a pulp form, and/or an encapsulating shell. The binder may be selected from the group consisting of starch, cellulose, glue, adhesive, and bio-degradable or non-biodegradable plastic, and may be applied to the surface of the soil or mixed with the soil. The core may be compressively formed. A paving surface with seedless cores installed may be hydroseeded.
