Benefits of Permeable Paver Driveways
When thinking about what type of driveway to install in your home, it is important to consider a few different things. First of all, what will it look like? What sort of aesthetic are you going for in your home? Remember, the driveway is one of the first things people will see when they pull up to your house, so you want to make sure that what you choose looks nice.
Of course, you also have to keep in mind other things like cost, maintenance, and the benefits of different types of driveways. In this post, we are going to look at permeable paver driveways. We will explain what they are, what the benefits are, and how you can get a permeable paver driveway installed in your home easily and effectively. Let’s get started.
What are permeable paver driveways?
Permeable paver driveways, unlike typical asphalt or concrete driveways, contain gaps for water to drain through them rather than having it rush off and onto the street. They come in a variety of styles, giving you choices for how your driveway looks, while still adding the practicality of the drainage feature.
What are the benefits?
Besides the fact that you can choose from different styles to suit your taste, there are several benefits that come along with installing a permeable paver driveway. Let’s take a look at some of them.
It has a naturally built-in drainage system. Rather than water puddling in your driveway when it rains, it drains down into the earth through the holes in the driveway, avoiding any slippery spots and puddles.
It is easy to install. There is no special equipment needed to install a permeable paver driveway. It can be done in as little as a few days, and a professional does not need to do it (though you may want to consider hiring one if you’ve never done anything like this before).
It is more sustainable. Permeable paver grids allow water to soak in ‘at-source’ rather than rushing through the storm sewer system and into local waterways. This helps keep nearby creeks and rivers cleaner while also helping to reduce the opportunities for flash floods.
It is durable and will last a long time. Rather than buckling or cracking when the ground moves underneath it, it has the ability to shift along with it, making it difficult to ruin and easy to repair.
