Permeable pavers, also known as permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP), are installed with layers of varying-sized stone or aggregate underneath that filter and direct stormwater to underground aquifers. When you use permeable concrete pavers in your outdoor space, rain that falls on your patio, walkway or driveway seeps back into the ground, reducing the burden on storm drains.

Your community may require permeable pavers, or you may simply prefer the aesthetic and environmental benefits of permeable pavers. These benefits include:

· Reduce water demand by placing pavers over grassed areas or harvesting and recycling water

· Reduce erosion where vegetation is dry or doesn’t grow

· Eliminate standing water here mosquitos can breed and algae or mold can grow

· Eliminate risk of evaporation of standing water and above-ground water storage

· Permeable pavers for driveways can eliminate water accumulation and reduce ice accumulation to improve vehicular safety
