Eco Friendly Permeable Pavers
What is permeable pavement?
Permeable pavements are comprised of a layer of pavers separated by joints that are filled with small stones, and an “open-graded” base, such as crushed stone layers that do not contain small or fine particles. The void spaces between these layers of stone allow water to enter between the pavers, down among the crushed stone base, and infiltrate it back into the soil subgrade. The system provides 100% surface permeability and the base filters stormwater and reduces pollutants.
Plainly speaking, permeable pavements are good for the environment. They visually define vehicular and pedestrian traffic areas, reduce micro-climate temperatures and enhance tree growth. A wide variety of patterns, shapes and colors define areas and tie them in with the surrounding structures and landscape. The pavements are designed to improve the health, safety, and well-being of both people and nature.
