Permeable Pavers bring water management into the surface layout: openings, infill and edge restraints affect the finished area’s appearance and performance. A formed unit such as OpenForm Pavers by Brickworks, or a grid such as Permeable Grid Structure - Flo-Grid® by Atlantis Corporation, can be used for permeable paving. In Australia, include adjoining garden beds, paths and garage thresholds in the exterior plan rather than treating them as leftover edges.

Perfect for driveways, patios, and pathways, permeable pavers combine practicality with a sleek, eco-friendly finish for any outdoor space.

Permeable Pavers

A permeable surface may retain gravel or turf rather than create a continuous hard finish. Gravel Reinforcement - Gravel Cell® and Turf Reinforcement - Turf Cell® by Atlantis Corporation provide options for those finishes; a grass paver also needs room for mowing and lawn care. Set out driveways and paths with clear transitions, and consider where turning wheels or pedestrian routes will interrupt planting. Grass driveway pavers need a defined place in the paving scheme, while a permeable driveway can use a different finish elsewhere.

What details should a permeable pavers driveway plan show?

Set finished levels at the garage threshold and adjoining paths, and show how the surface meets each edge. For a permeable driveway, keep water from being directed towards the building.

What should be considered with grass driveway pavers?

Allow access for mowing and lawn care, and consider where turning wheels or regular parking may wear the grass. A grass paver system needs a layout suited to its planted finish.

What belongs in a specification for commercial permeable pavers?

Show the intended traffic, pedestrian routes and transitions between finishes. Mark more heavily used turning areas and consider how sediment and leaf litter will be cleared from the surface.
