What are permeable paving systems?

What are permeable paving systems? Permeable paving functions as does a rain garden allowing water to infiltrate through the gaps in the brick pavers and into the ground, recharging depleted groundwater.

What Are The Benefits Of A Permeable Paving System?

So what are the benefits of a permeable paving system? A permeable paving system can do the following:

 

  • You can create patios without any or minimal pitch making furniture layout a breeze!
  • Water and oxygen are available for trees and helps trees within a courtyard have access to more water, producing healthier growth.
  • In commercial applications, permeable paving has the ability to replace unsightly detention basins as well as decrease sewers and catch basins for storm runoff.
  • Adds more space for development, while at the same time trapping and filtering pollutants dripping off cars so that it does not wash off into our lakes and streams!
