permeable pavers Posts
Permeable pavers use a combination of interlocking grids that are laid over a prepared subsurface and one of several fill materials, such as gravel or crushed limestone. Once the fill material is compacted into the grids, it creates a 100% permeable, strong, durable parking surface that is virtually maintenance free.
A parking surface made from permeable pavers requires very little ongoing maintenance, which reduces long-term costs.
Permeable Paver systems have many residential, commercial and industrial applications such as:
- Stormwater management
- Dust control
- Flood mitigation
- Driveways
- Commercial parking lots
- Walkways
- Patios
- Stormwater detention
- and more.
6 Unique Uses for Permeable Pavers
In many areas, permeable pavers have become a popular alternative to concrete or asphalt for parking lot surfaces because they are durable, economical, environmentally-friendly and they eliminate the need for a conventional storm water management system, which can be expensive to install and difficult to maintain. Unlike conventional solid surfaces, water can naturally drain […]
5 Ways Porous Pavers are Better for the Environment Than Asphalt or Concrete
Today, most parking lots, roads, fire lanes, walkways, sidewalks and bike paths use asphalt or concrete when a hard, durable surface is necessary. Both materials work relatively well in such applications, but their impermeable nature leads to runoff problems, flooding, and erosion, plus they are difficult to install, costly and energy-intensive. Porous pavers, also known […]
5 Ways Permeable Pavers Can Improve Your Commercial Paving Project
Posted on March 21 , 2016 by TRUEGRID Commercial paving systems must stand up to large volumes of heavy traffic, constant assaults from the sun and inclement weather, and pollutants such as oil, fuel and other automotive fluids. Both concrete and asphalt, the conventional materials used for commercial paving, tolerate theses forces relatively well, but […]
5 Ways Permeable Pavers Can Reduce Parking Lot Construction Cost
Posted on:February 22, 2016 By Truegrid The costs of building a parking lot can vary dramatically depending on what is needed to prepare the site, what type of material is chosen for the surface, what type of system will be put into place for storm water management, and how the parking lot will be finished. […]
10 Benefits of Permeable Pavement: Why Modern Surfaces Perform Better Than Traditional Paving
Every paved surface begins with the same challenge, controlling where rainwater goes. When it can’t pass through, runoff floods, erodes, and undermines the base beneath. The benefits of permeable pavement come from its ability to manage that flow, turning water from a liability into a working part of the surface system. How Permeable Pavement Solves […]
10 Areas Where Permeable Pavers Can Outperform Other Options
[Posted on November 15th, 2015 by: Barry Stiles] 10 Areas Where Permeable Pavers Can Outperform Other Options Building a strong and durable surface that can withstand constant traffic from people, regular automobiles, commercial vehicles and heavy equipment typically requires materials like concrete or asphalt, or, in some cases, gravel or compacted soil. Both concrete and asphalt are […]
4 Ways Permeable Paving Provides Better Stormwater Management
Permeable paving systems like TRUEGRID can help improve stormwater management and control erosion on your commercial or residential building projects.
Best Solution: Permeable Grids Using New Grass Paving Methods To Control Stormwater Run-Off And Erosion
If you live in an area that experiences significant precipitation, you have probably witnessed small streams form in your street after heavy rainfall, with water rushing toward the nearest storm drain. Could this run-off be mitigated by using erosion control pavers? After a series of downpours, you may have noticed substantial erosion around your local […]
