It’s the natural setting that makes a golf course so inviting. The green grass on the fairways and tees. The sandy colors of the roughs and hazards. The blue of the water and sky.

Shouldn’t your cart paths reflect the natural beauty of your course? They can if your architect and contractor specify ochre pigments from Riverside Path Solutions, a division of New Riverside Ochre Company.

Ochre is a pure, natural iron oxide. When added to concrete mix, ochre produces a non-reactive, non-toxic, non-fading, permanent pigment in a range of colors. Ochre has become the concrete pigment of choice for a number of nationally renowned golf course architects and developers.

Ochre is the most economical concrete colorant available on the market. Ochre based blends repeatedly outperform synthetic blends because of their economy, performance quality and versatility on small and large jobs alike.

In addition, concrete is the best and most economical long term solution versus asphalt. The cumulative life-cycle costs of asphalt can be as much as 52% higher than comparable concrete costs over a 30 year period.

Ochre is a superior product. Ochre is mined in Cartersville, Georgia, by our parent company, New Riverside Ochre, the only full-time ochre mining and processing operation in the U.S. Our processing and testing techniques and facilities are constantly being improved. We are continuously researching and developing new products with finer and stronger characteristics.

Riverside Path Solutions' Ochre is processed and controlled within exact physical and chemical parameters, using state-of-the-art color measuring and monitoring equipment.

RPS Ochre is easy for your contractor to use. Our ochre blends easily and uniformly in both mortar and concrete. Our packaged product comes in 25 lb. pulpable paper bags. Both the ochre and the bag can be added in the ready-mix truck; the bag dissolves resulting in no waste and a cleaner operation.

RPS produces standard colors, and we can also produce additional colors based upon the architect's custom specifications. We recommend that test panels be produced duplicating actual site materials and conditions whether by the customer or an on-site RPS engineer. This will assure accurate color selection. We can also help your architect and contractor select the best concrete supplier.
