Let the water flow with permeable pavers.
Permeable Pavers are manufactured and installed to minimize stormwater runoff and allow for rainwater to be re-absorbed back into the earth, preventing standing water on the surface and allowing it to rejoin the natural water cycle. With our roots based in the Lowcountry, we understand how important this is to our environment as well as the build process, and have developed products that not only look beautiful, but are environmentally friendly
Cómo funcionan los adoquines permeables
Los adoquines permeables representan un gran avance en las prácticas de diseño y construcción sostenibles, con enormes beneficios para nuestro medio ambiente y nuestros ecosistemas. Los adoquines permeables pueden evitar el agua estancada y la contaminación por escorrentía, pero también ayudan a restaurar el ciclo natural del agua filtrando los contaminantes antes de que entren en nuestro suministro de agua.
Water lands on the paver surface and drains straight down through the open joints between each paver (the vertical gaps filled with permeable jointing material), instead of running off.
Below the pavers, a thin layer of coarse bedding aggregate lets water continue moving downward while still supporting the pavers structurally.
The aggregate layer beneath the bedding is designed with large void spaces, so water disperses horizontally and vertically rather than pooling.
The bottom layer of larger crushed stone has the biggest gaps of all, acting like an underground reservoir that temporarily holds stormwater.
From the sub-base, water percolates gradually into the ground below, recharging groundwater instead of overwhelming storm drains.
BENEFICIOS DE LOS ADOQUINES PERMEABLES:
- Reduce el agua estancada
- Reduce el consumo de agua para jardinería
- Reduce la contaminación por escorrentía y favorece la limpieza del agua
- Recarga las fuentes locales de aguas subterráneas
- Se adhiere a las mejores prácticas de gestión medioambiental y de aguas pluviales
- Reduce la cantidad de superficie impermeable de un terreno
Los adoquines permeables se fabrican e instalan para minimizar la escorrentía de las aguas pluviales y permitir que el agua de lluvia se reabsorba en la tierra, evitando que el agua se estanque en la superficie y permitiendo que se reincorpore al ciclo natural del agua.
Con nuestras raíces en el Lowcountry, entendemos lo importante que es para nuestro medio ambiente, así como el proceso de construcción, y hemos desarrollado productos que no sólo se ven hermosas, pero son respetuosos del medio ambiente

Soak Up These FAQs
More cities and counties across the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida are capping impervious surface coverage and requiring low-impact development practices for new construction. Requirements are toughest near wetlands, flood zones, and coastal waterways, and they vary widely by jurisdiction, so contact us and we’ll help you confirm the right spec before you break ground.
Often, yes. Because permeable pavers are typically classified as pervious rather than impervious surface, using them for a driveway, patio, or walkway can free up impervious coverage allowance under many local codes, letting you add square footage or extra hardscape without exceeding your lot’s stormwater limits. Calculation methods vary by municipality, so browse our permeable line and confirm the numbers with your local building department.
Permeable pavers let rainwater filter through the surface and into the ground instead of rushing straight into storm drains. Water passes through the joints, bedding layer, and open-graded base before slowly absorbing into the native soil, which reduces runoff pollution, recharges local groundwater, and helps protect the rivers, marshes, and coastal waterways that make the Lowcountry worth protecting.
Yes. Instead of pooling on the surface, rain passes through the paver joints and infiltrates a layered sub-base engineered to store and slowly release water, keeping driveways, patios, and walkways drier even during heavy downpours. That same process reduces the runoff that overwhelms storm drains and contributes to neighborhood flooding.
Permeable pavers typically carry a modest upfront premium over traditional pavers because of the specialized open-graded base and aggregate-filled joints, but they can lower overall project costs by reducing or eliminating retention ponds, catch basins, and other stormwater infrastructure. Request a free estimate through one of our trusted contractor partners to compare pricing for your project.
Plan on vacuuming or low-pressure washing the surface every year or two. Clearing silt and debris from the joints keeps water draining freely, and occasionally topping off the jointing aggregate is all it takes to keep performance up. Beyond that, permeable pavers hold up like our standard product line — see what makes Lowcountry Paver Hardscape Products different to compare care and warranty details.
Yes — permeable pavers are engineered with a structural open-graded stone base that carries the same vehicle and foot traffic as traditional pavers, so they hold up under daily driveway, parking area, and pool deck use. Browse our permeable line, including King Street Cobble, to see options built for your project.
In many areas, yes. Municipalities increasingly offer stormwater utility fee credits, rebates, or faster permitting for properties that install permeable surfaces, and permeable pavers can also count toward LEED and other green building certification points. Incentives vary by area, so contact us and we’ll help you confirm what applies to your project.
