The Future of Sustainable Landscaping: Why Our HDPE Bender Board® Stands Alone

The Future of Sustainable Landscaping: Why Our HDPE Bender Board® Stands Alone

We believe that high-quality landscaping should never come at the cost of the environment. At Howell Pathways, we are dedicated to utilizing the best technology available to create products that lead the industry in both performance and sustainability. By focusing on recycling materials, we actively reduce the volume of waste destined for landfills while providing superior outdoor solutions.

Engineering Durability with HDPE Plastic

Our Bender Board® is unique because it is crafted from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and "Blue Box" waste. While many manufacturers use HDPE, we specifically source plastic waste that most recyclers overlook, preventing it from entering landfills. This material, combined with a protected UV-resistance process, ensures our product maintains its integrity for an expected life of 25 years.

Precision Manufacturing for Consistent Quality

Maintaining a consistent weight, texture, and impact resistance across every board is an incredibly demanding technical process. We take great pride in our rigorous manufacturing standards, ensuring that every piece of Bender Board® we produce meets our high expectations for quality. This dedication to consistency allows us to deliver a reliable product that professionals and homeowners can trust.

Versatile Applications from Turf to Concrete

Historically, our focus has been on landscape edging, Klingstone paths, and concrete forming, but we have expanded to meet modern needs. We have developed specialized products specifically for the synthetic turf industry to provide secure, clean perimeters. Since 2006, our diverse product line has been successfully installed across North America, proving its adaptability in various climates and projects.

The Next Generation: HP2 and Stiffy B

We continue to innovate with advanced options like the HP2 Bender Board and Stiffy B to solve specific installation challenges. These products offer the same eco-friendly benefits while providing tailored rigidity or flexibility where it is needed most. By choosing our advanced composite solutions, you are investing in a product line that evolves alongside the changing demands of modern landscape architecture.

Investing in your outdoor space means choosing materials that are built to endure the elements without harming the planet. From our unique use of "Blue Box" recycled plastics to our specialized solutions for synthetic turf and concrete forming, Howell Pathways is committed to excellence in every curve and straight edge. We invite you to explore how our 25-year expected lifespan and UV-protected technology can elevate your next project.
