Product Information

Joints between pavers to be per manufacturers design requirements (typically 1/16 to 3/16 inch wide but may need to be wider).

Carry it off to a soakaway or rain garden, where it can then be absorbed by the soil or removed without entering the drainage system When it rains, water will make its way between the stones, and into the earth below, where it is simply soaked up in the same way as it is when rain falls onto a lawn surface. This is the way that the earth is designed, and will prevent subsidence that can cause problems with your foundations. Runoff across some land uses may become contaminated, where pollutant concentrations exceed those typically found in stormwater. These "hot spots" include commercial plant nurseries, recycling facilities, fueling stations, industrial storage, marinas, some outdoor loading facilities, public works yards, hazardous materials generators (if containers are exposed to rainfall), vehicle service, washing, and maintenance areas, and steam cleaning facilities. Since porous pavement is an infiltration practice, it should not be applied at stormwater hot spots due to the potential for groundwater contamination. All contaminated runoff should be prevented from entering municipal storm drain systems by using best management practices (BMPs) for the specific industry or activity. [14] Weight and traffic volumes [ edit ] There are many additional benefits of not paving over front gardens or keeping the paving to a minimum:In light of the above it is possible to use a range of solutions where one complete solution isn’t possible. Continuing the example above, when the ground can no longer absorb the rainwater during/after a heavy downpour, then the excess run off can be removed through the drainage system. This is where you only pave the area of your driveway where the wheels of the car will go. The advantage of this is that the rest of the driveway remains porous and permeable.

One thing we can say is that porous pavements, patios or drivewaysare the perfect way to prevent the damage that can be caused by water and ice and they protect the environment as well. The best solution is the one that does not overwhelm the drainage system and allows as much water as possible to be absorbed by the ground nearest to where it has fallen. Pavers are to be free of foreign materials before installation and installed in pattern per drawings, maintaining straight lines. Similar measures apply. These, however, apply to paving of any size between the house and any street, not just front gardens.For detailed information about how they work and are constructed, please read our project all about rainwater harvesting. If you are intending to lay or replace a hard surface to the front of your house, you must use permeable or porous materials; alternatively surface water run-off from an impermeable hard surface, such as concrete, must be directed to a permeable or porous surface to the front of your home.

The porous pavers allow the area to resemble an unpaved area yet provide many of the same benefits of paving. These terms are often heard when suds-compliant paving is being discussed, but which is correct and is there any difference?Whilst we are aware that some customers have experienced challenges with some lenders, this is not the case with all lenders provided that the correct installation documentation is in place. Asphalt permeable paving combines the strength of traditional asphalt with the sustainability of permeability.
