CU-Structural Soil ®
CU-Structural Soil® (U.S. Patent #5,849,069) is a soil designed by Cornell University to improve the growth and development of urban trees. A lack of useable soil volume for root growth and soil compaction has lead engineers to create a load-bearing soil that can be used along sidewalks. The soil is comprised of rigid stone, heavy clay loam, and Gelscape® hydrogel as a non-toxic, non-phytotoxic tactifier.
Loader blending material
CU-Structural Soil® meets the requirements for paved surfaces and yet possesses qualities that will allow roots to grow freely underneath pavements. Moreover, the soil allows roots to grow away from the pavement, thereby reducing sidewalk heaving from tree roots.

The soil is a specially designed soil, and requires a great deal of attention during the production the CU-Structural Soil®. CU-Structural Soil® is produced and marketed by Amereq, Inc., a leading U.S. developer and marketer of innovative and environmentally compatible hydrogels for horticulture applications, plant nutrients, and biostimulants. Through Amereq, Inc., Greely Sand & Gravel has become an Amereq-licensed producer of CU-Soil™. If a project is specified with CU-Soil™, only an Amereq-licensed company can produce the soil. Greely Sand & Gravel produces this CU-Structural soil in either granite or limestone.
