Building Better: APD Construction’s Commitment to Sustainability with Presto Geosystems’ GEOWEB® System

At APD Construction, sustainability isn’t a buzzword, it’s a foundational value. As we continue to seek smarter, more responsible ways to build, we’re proud to be a recommended and approved installer of the GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System by Presto Geosystems.

GEOWEB offers a powerful solution for soil stabilization, slope protection, and load support while minimizing the need for traditional concrete and aggregate. This geocell technology delivers performance and durability without compromising the environment making it ideal for projects that require strength, longevity, and a reduced carbon footprint.

“Sustainability isn’t just part of our projects, it’s part of our purpose,” says Ariel Padilla, President of APD Construction. “Being a recommended installer of GEOWEB reflects our continued commitment to responsible building practices that protect the environment while delivering long-term value to our clients and communities,” says Ariel Padilla, President, APD Construction, LLC.

Why GEOWEB® Makes a Difference

GEOWEB creates permeable, reinforced surfaces that reduces oil erosion, control stormwater runoff, and support heavy loads, all while reducing the reliance on nonrenewable materials. Whether applied for slope stabilization, green retaining walls, or load support in high-traffic areas, GeoWeb helps us build in harmony with the land, not at its expense.

A Trusted Partner in Installation

We’re honored to be recognized by R.H. Moore & Associates, the Florida manufacturer’s representative for Presto Geosystems since 1986, as a recommended and approved installer for the GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System. This recognition reflects not only our technical expertise but also our long-standing commitment to quality and precision in every phase of the installation process.

Presto Geosystems

With extensive knowledge across multiple GEOWEB applications, including slope stabilization, load support, earth retention, and channel stabilization, our team brings deep experience and attention to detail to projects that demand both structural performance and environmental responsibility. Their endorsement validates the results we’ve achieved on past installations and underscores the trust we’ve built as a reliable construction partner in Florida and beyond.

Sustainability in Action

Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in our day-to-day operations — from the design phase to project completion. It means going beyond regulatory requirements to ensure that every project we touch reflects our values and our responsibility to the environment. For us, sustainability includes:

  • Choosing eco-friendly materials that reduce environmental impact without compromising performance
  • Minimizing site disruption to protect local ecosystems and reduce unnecessary waste
  • Partnering with green-focused brands like Presto Geosystems to integrate sustainable technologies into our construction solutions
  • Bringing innovative, long-lasting solutions to clients who prioritize resilience, environmental stewardship, and forward-thinking development

We believe that responsible building isn’t just about what you construct, it’s about how you build it. With every decision, we ask ourselves: How can we build smarter, stronger, and greener, not just for today, but for generations to come?

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, we remain focused on creating positive change through construction practices that benefit both our communities and our planet. Our recent successful completion of two GEOWEB projects for Orange County, the Correctional Concrete Sidewalk Replacement at Vision Boulevard and the Whitcomb Building GEOWEB System Installation, are prime examples of how sustainable methods and smart engineering can come together to solve real infrastructure challenges.

From replacing traditional concrete sidewalks with a more environmentally responsible GEOWEB system to stabilizing subsurface areas with precision and care, these projects demonstrate our ability to apply green technologies in practical, results-driven ways. Each installation minimized material usage, reduced stormwater runoff potential, and added long-term value to the sites.

If you’re looking for a construction partner with the technical expertise, innovation, and environmental focus to get the job done right, APD Construction is ready to build with you. Together, we can shape a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable future.
