Permeable Paving
Permeable paving offers significant benefits by allowing stormwater to infiltrate the ground, effectively mitigating flood risks and water damage as well as reduction of the “heat island” effect. Our solutions provide residential, commercial, and public property owners with increased confidence in safeguarding their properties from heavy rainfall, ensuring long-term protection from flooding, rot and erosion, and standing water that may have toxic pollutants or breed mosquitoes. Permeable applications are instrumental in recharging groundwater, reducing stormwater runoff, and meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stormwater regulations. They also help to keep our rivers and bayous clean and safe for swimming, fishing, and boating. Most of our permeable paving solutions are ADA compliant and approved for both vehicular and pedestrian use.

Our permeable paving options are listed below with pricing information. We believe that an informed client is best equipped to invest without having to wonder what surprises await. Permeability is achieved through many avenues, but budget and aesthetic usually play the biggest part in people’s decision.
Permeable Collection
This collection consists of a variety of options suited for our environmentally-conscious clients or those that have stormwater or drainage concerns. Permeable pavers are also warranted when municipalities regulate amount of impervious coverage allowed on any particular lot. Many of these pavers are manufactured from recycled materials or are otherwise ethically-sourced. Permeable or pervious paving systems allow for rainwater to percolate back into the ground and greatly reduce flooding associated with stormwater runoff. Our clients can expect to invest a pretty penny for permeable surfaces when compared to their impervious counterpart. This is due to a few different factors, including increased material costs, excavation depth, and additional labor and time associated with the installation.
Permitting fees may be applicable for certain projects.
Eco Dublin
Eco Dublin is the most popular item in this collection as it both beautiful and affordable. It is also a lovely choice for a patios or walkways in areas where standing water must be reduced.

Gravel Paving
Gravel paving is the most budget-friendly option in our permeable collection. It utilizes a specialized grid that prevents rutting and reduces loss of gravel over time. These can be used for heavy duty applications such as emergency lanes, commercial parking needs, or for residential applications with light traffic, keeping it away from buildings and out of streets and waterways. Typical cover gravel choices include Black Star Gravel, Texas granite, and crushed limestone.

Turfstone provides solutions for emergency access areas, slopes or embankments, spillways, swales, and environmentally sensitive driveways or parking lots.

This paver is the ONLY of its class. Unlike most permeable pavers that depend on joint spaces for water runoff, this one is unique in that the paver itself is completely pervious.

With eight colors and nine sizes from 4×4 all the way to 12×24, these are a favorite for local governments across United States & Canada.
