Permeable pavers are increasingly gaining the attention of media, builders, and property owners alike because of growing efforts to effectively manage storm water in municipalities and watershed districts across the country. These pavers are designed to allow storm water to pass through their joints directly into the ground. Their advantage to manage storm water is proven and widely recognized by many municipalities, state agencies, shoreland and watershed districts for meeting EPA-mandated standards.
Permeable concrete paver systems help improve water quality by capturing contaminants and suspended solids found in storm water and filtering them through layers of aggregates. This reduces the risk and severity of flooding, eliminates surface puddling, and reduces snow and ice removal time by accelerating the melting process. Additionally, where space is at a premium, permeable concrete pavers help maximize land use on the total building site for residential and commercial applications, typically replacing traditional retention and detention ponds.
Top 5 Reasons for Choosing Permeable Concrete Pavers
- Increased profits: Gain a developable lot
- Reduction in risk associated with ponds (accidents, injuries, pests, etc.)
- Reduction in risk associated with freeze/thaw cycles and standing water
- Increased curb appeal: Added aesthetic value
- Lower maintenance costs than traditional pavement
