Environmental stress is increasingly being placed on our resources. As more land is developed, the natural water filtration provided by the soil is continually being diminished. In turn, stormwater runoff (mixed with motor oil, fertilizers and other contaminants) can pollute lakes, rivers coastlines and groundwater. Fortunately, there is an alternative. Belgard’s environmental series of permeable pavers offers attractive alternatives to traditional paving materials designed for residential and commercial development. They are an environmentally and economically friendly choice.
The decision you make in pavers can directly help or harm water quality in your locale. Several styles of Belgard’s permeable pavers offer the strength, durability, slip-resistance and visual appeal homeowners desire, and much more. Specifically designed interlocking shapes and openings allow stormwater to rapidly flow through, eliminating standing water in walkways, patios, driveways and parking areas without sloping. As part of a bio-aquifer stormwater system, Belgard’s environmental pavers can virtually eliminate runoff, potentially reducing the need for retention ponds or underground sewer pipes. Offering a versatile range of products designed to suit any application, the collection’s aesthetic options promote design flexibility while protecting precious resources. Each style is designed to adhere to EPA and local regulations and to contribute toward LEED® certification.
