Permeable Pavers

For driveways and paths, permeable pavers can prevent the entry of contaminants and aid with various groundwater and storm-water runoff issues. They can also preserve the quality of the water. They contribute to environmental maintenance by letting water seep into the ground and filter there before entering our water supply. Permeable pavements also lessen erosion and soil runoff. Because permeable interlocking concrete pavers, or permeable pavement, are now required in many jurisdictions for these particular purposes, their use is rapidly growing. They are used by many businesses to achieve higher LEED certifications and related tax benefits. If more structural support is required, our interlocking permeable pavers are meant to be used in place of concrete or other solid surfaces.

If there is a lot of paved area on your property, permeable pavement can be a good choice for reducing runoff. The permeable pavement allows rainwater to percolate into the ground. It can be used with driveways, parking lots, and patios. Permeable pavers can be reduced to a concrete duplicate of the plastic grid systems by replacing them with open-cell concrete blocks. Other, more traditional options include brick pavers, solid concrete pavers, and cobblestones. The key to creating permeable roads composed of these materials is to add sand to the crevices between the pavers. Using permeable paving materials offers you other benefits beyond merely saving money on a new driveway. Permeable surfaces also lessen the amount of precipitation that builds up.
