Permeable Paving

 

Permeable paving is an intelligent approach to rainwater management around the home. Whilst retaining the well respected aesthetics, utility and durability of concrete block paving, permeable block paving reduces the volume of surface water run off, slows down the rate at which rainwater enters the drainage system and will ultimately reduce flooding and pollution.

Permeable block paving has a dual role:

  • PROVIDING A HARD SURFACE FOR TRAFFICKING
  • PROVIDING THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM AS PERMEABLE PAVING ALLOWS RAINWATER TO FILTER THROUGH THE GAPS BETWEEN THE BLOCKS

The deeper, open-graded stone sub-base on which the blocks are laid has sufficient reservoir space to store the rainwater underground preventing rapid surface water run off. The stored water may gradually soak into the ground, be collected for irrigation or harvested for re-use around the home for car washing or even toilet flushing.
