Permeable Paving

Permeable paving is a sustainable landscaping technique that involves the use of porous materials, such as permeable pavers, gravel, or porous concrete, to create surfaces that allow water to pass through and infiltrate the ground below. This process helps reduce runoff, prevent erosion, and replenish groundwater supplies. Permeable paving is commonly used in driveways, walkways, patios, and parking areas, especially in urban settings where managing stormwater is a concern. The technique not only supports environmental sustainability but also helps to mitigate flooding and waterlogging issues. Proper installation of permeable paving requires attention to the underlying base materials and drainage considerations to ensure effectiveness.
