The Permeable People

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SYSTEMS

Permeable systems provide an environmentally friendly way to eliminate drainage problems common with asphalt or concrete surfaces.

Pervious surfaces allow water and pollutants to drain through to the soil below, where gravel, sand, and natural bacteria help to trap and break down the pollutants naturally. Making our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams cleaner.

Many of the permeable paving options are made from recycled materials such as plastics and tires.

Permeable pavers allow water to drain through to the sub-surface naturally replenishing local water systems without the need for costly and environmentally damaging construction

BUILDING CODE COMPLIANT

More and more cities around the United States are limiting the use of nonporous materials such as concrete and asphalt on residential and commercial properties.

Installing pervious systems eliminates or reduces the need for costly construction of detention and retention ponds on your property. Using permeable systems allows builders to utilize their construction area effectively.

Proper permeable installations will last longer than traditionally paved hardscapes reducing the cost of maintenance and repours.

Reduces or eliminates the need to rebuild storm or increase the size of existing storm sewer systems for developments.

Water can be captured with underground systems and reused for other purposes like irrigation and maintenance.

GREAT FOR TRAILS

Permeable paving is ADA compliant. Permeable systems make trails, parks, and gardens accessible for all. Installing a permeable surface can remove walking hazards for the vision-impaired and those persons in wheelchairs or needing walking aids. Surface temperatures are often cooler with pervious pavers than traditional nonporous hardscapes.
