FAQs

What kind of materials can be used to build permeable driveways?

Permeable pavement options include specific blends of concrete that allow water to soak through as well as a variety of pavers such as pervious pavers or interlocking concrete pavers spaced to allow gravel or other types of fill between them that enable water to soak in. In order to be permeable, specifically designed layers of material such as open-graded aggregate need to be installed underneath the pavement to allow for proper soaking and drainage. See typical sections below for additional details.
