Permeable pavers are changing the way we think about outdoor surfaces. Permeable pavers allow water to infiltrate through the surface, replenishing groundwater supplies and reducing the risk of flooding, and many coastal area governments are requiring permeable surfaces. In addition to their environmental benefits, permeable pavers offer a range of other advantages that make them an attractive option for homeowners and businesses alike.
Environmental Sustainability
One of the most significant benefits of permeable pavers is their environmental sustainability. By allowing rainwater to infiltrate through the surface, permeable pavers help recharge groundwater supplies, reduce stormwater runoff, and minimize the risk of flooding. This eco-friendly solution helps protect water quality and natural habitats by reducing the amount of pollutants that are washed into rivers, lakes, and streams.

Stormwater Management
Permeable pavers play a crucial role in stormwater management by reducing the volume and velocity of stormwater runoff. By capturing rainwater and allowing it to filter slowly through the surface, permeable pavers help prevent erosion, sedimentation, and flooding, particularly in urban areas with limited green space and natural drainage systems.

Build A Larger Home
Many coastal communities are limiting the amount of impervious surface when considering new construction and renovations on lots, especially in areas close to natural waterways, to improve the stormwater management systems in place and provide a more natural return to the water cycle. Permeable pavers driveways allow homeowners to build a larger footprint home and maximize square footage within their home.
