BENEFITS OF PERMEABLE PAVERS FOR THE COMMUNITY
- Infiltrate water back into the ground to recharge local groundwater supplies
- Maintain base flows in rivers that ensure streams and ecosystems are self-sustaining
- Act as filter to offer improved water quality
- Eliminate risk of evaporation of standing water and above-ground water storage
- Light paver colors are highly reflective and reduce heat island effect
- Reduce water use for landscaping
BENEFITS OF PERMEABLE PAVERS FOR HOMEOWNERS
- Reduce water demand by placing pavers over grassed areas
- Aid landscaping by reducing erosion that occurs when grass is dry or dead
- Eliminate standing water on the surface where mosquitos can breed
BENEFITS OF PERMEABLE PAVERS FOR BUILDERS
- Contribute to environmental and stormwater management best practices, including LEED credits
- Lead to cost savings by vastly reducing or even eliminating storm water infrastructure components like pipes, detention basins and storm drains
