Northern VA residents install permeable pavers, also known as permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP), to direct storm water to underground aquifers. Permeable pavers mimic the way natural land absorbs water. They come in a wide variety of materials which are cut into square or rectangular shapes.
With permeable concrete pavers and permeable grass pavers, any rain that falls on your patio, walkway or driveway seeps back into the ground, reducing the burden on storm drains. A permeable paver system can even be designed to harvest and recycle rainwater. With uncompromised durability, permeable pavers are great for areas with high foot or vehicle traffic such as residential driveways and patios.
While your residential project may function well with conventional paving, you’ll find that permeable concrete offers many benefits for smaller home spaces. Call us (703) 339-8095 for pricing or more details and visit our website for additional images and product details.
