What is a Permeable Driveway?
A permeable driveway is a type of driveway that uses permeable pavers or porous materials to allow rainwater to pass through the surface and into the ground beneath. Unlike traditional concrete or asphalt driveways, which contribute to water runoff and puddling, permeable driveways absorb water, reducing strain on drainage systems. The pavers are typically designed with gaps between them, allowing water to filter through the material.
Why Choose Permeable Driveways?
1. Eco-Friendly Solution
Permeable driveways help manage stormwater runoff, which is a major cause of water pollution. By allowing water to naturally filter through, these driveways reduce the risk of flooding and erosion.


2. Enhanced Property Value
Installing a permeable driveway can increase your home’s curb appeal and property value due to its environmentally-conscious design and modern aesthetic.
3. Low Maintenance
Permeable driveways require less upkeep than traditional driveways. With proper installation, the surface is designed to be self-cleaning, making maintenance minimal.


4. Compliance with Local Regulations
Many areas have regulations that require properties to manage their stormwater runoff. A permeable driveway can help you meet these regulations and avoid penalties.
5. Versatility
Available in a variety of styles and colours, permeable pavers offer the flexibility to match the look of your home, providing both functionality and visual appeal.
