First and foremost, let’s break down what permeable pavement is and how it is different. Permeable paving is a method of paving that allows for infiltration of fluids. It combines grids and fill materials such as gravel that creates a durable surface that allows fluids such as rain to soak into the ground naturally. It catches precipitation and surface runoff and stores it in the reservoir while slowly allowing it to infiltrate into the soil below. That is why permeable pavement is a great option for outdoor living spaces!
Easy Installation Permeable pavement is easy to install. It doesn’t require any sort of expensive, specialty equipment. To be installed, the area should be graded and free of any sort of vegetation. Then, a layer of rock is placed as a base. Next, pavers are laid and finally the area is filled with gravel or limestone and compacted to create a durable surface. Changeable Are you indecisive or like to change out your space every now and then? Then all the more reason to go this route for your outdoor living space. The grids for permeable pavement are easily removable so they can be changed up or moved to a different space. Erosion Control If you have any areas with loose soil, permeable pavement is a good solution to retain soil and prevent erosion. The paving grids can be placed over the loose soil and then filled with gravel. More Durable Permeable pavement is very durable. It is just as durable as any concrete surface, but works better. Because it is permeable, it is flexible and able to move when the earth moves. When unlikely conditions occur, concrete can buckle or break, but permeable pavement is a floating surface that is flexible and won’t crack. It is also less likely to be damaged, but if it is, it is easier to correct. Less Money They are also less expensive to install. Materials such as concrete can be costly and require a good amount of labor. Permeable pavement usually comes out to be less expensive per square foot and isn’t as labor intensive.
