Benefits of Permeable Pavers and Re-Vegetation to Land & Homeowners

Permeable pavers are a self-draining system that allows rainwater to seep around individual pavers, soaking naturally into the ground underneath. Re-vegetation entails replacing impervious surfaces with vegetation, increasing the green space on a property and allowing for rainwater to soak into the ground naturally.

The overall environmental benefits (water quality, reduction in flooding and erosion) can benefit everyone and the need for more expensive rainwater infrastructure can be avoided. This type of pavement consists of a permeable surface (e.g. concrete) is a sensible option for high-traffic areas. Driveways, parking areas, pathways and patios are examples of areas that should be considered for a use of a permeable pavement option. Permeable pavement, especially open-grid pavers, is also useful when used to replace impervious pavement around trees to allow water and air to reach the tree roots.
