In March of 2001, Envirobond Products Corporation was founded to launch its line of bagged jointing materials into the hard landscaping (known as Hardscaping) industry. EnviroSTONE combines crushed aggregate screenings with the organic binder for larger joints (such as flagstone, etc.). EnviroSAND combines fine jointing sand with the organic binder designed specifically for paving stone joints.

Continual field studies and research projects with professors from the University of Guelph, in Canada, as well as top natural gum scientists from Agriculture Canada were instrumental in the discovery and advancement of the new technology that put Envirobond on the map. Led by a young Entrepreneur (recently graduated from the Agricultural Science program at the University of Guelph), the team developed a novel patent-worthy product.  The discovered technology not only improved the longevity of the glue, but it also improved the strength as well as added a level of natural weed deterrence. In 2004, Envirobond filed for its first patent.

Envirobond now manufactures and sells EnviroSAND and EnviroSTONE in Canada, USA and over seven countries in Europe. Envirobond has become a staple product for the professional contractor marketplace for the past ten years.

With a continual focus on green science research, Envirobond has maintained a working relationship (over six years) with Agriculture Canada as its lead arm on all elements of research and development.   The Green Science put into our product has paid off in continual performance enhancements and also in the credibility this brings.

The success of our products in the professional industry has recently spilled over to the retail side after homeowners started demanding their sand be the “Organic”one.   We like to think that “the GREEN” finally caught up to us.  Envirobond has proudly partnered with The Home Depot to supply this demand.  The product can be found in 64 Home Depot stores in Ontario, Canada.

By focusing on a renewable plant resource as the key ingredient, Envirobond is proud to say “We were Green before Green was cool”.

This program is designed to help educate the contractors that install our products.  By ensuring the contractors are installing properly, we can ensure the success of the Envirobond products.

We are an official ICPI member and have certified ICPI installers on Staff (see more at www.icpi.org).

Contractors can learn about tips and techniques resulting in optimized efficiency as well as improved performance.  We’ve experienced a bigger benefit in having multiple contractors in one room speaking of their experiences in the field.  Tips and tricks have been shared that seem to benefit everyone in the room.

Becoming an Envirobond certified installer puts  you on our map.  This gives you a direct link to our sales staff that can walk you through any problem or situation.  By knowing that you are aware of the intricacies of the Envirobond products, we can get right to the heart of any situation.  We also like to treat our Certified installers right!

Organic Binders are unique because the glue is always active!

Envirobond has developed the perfect Organic Binder! The Scientifically designed formula provides incredible erosive resistance strength, while rapid biodegradation is eliminated!

The new binder was developed with an elevated pH to prevent the biological breakdown. This elevated pH was also included to add the bonus ability of deterring weeds by preventing seedling germination. The resulting patented technology goes by the name of Organic-Lock.

Envirobond has over 13 years experience in Organically Stabilized Aggregates!

Where other companies carry a line of products to suit all other landscaping needs, Envirobond focuses 100% on Organically Stabilized Aggregates!

The technology behind Organic-Lock was developed by a team of World Class Researchers.
