Porous Pavement

Porous pavement is a permeable surface composed of any media that allows water to pass through it. Permeable pavement catches rain water and surface runoff, allowing it to slowly percolate into the soil below. The most common uses of permeable pavement are parking lots, low-traffic roads, sidewalks, and driveways. Porous Pavement also acts as a protection layer for the roots of trees and other plants. By choosing to work with a porous pavement surface, you allow more water into the soil for trees, grass, and plants nearby.
