Go Greener With Eco Friendly Permeable Pavers In Northern California

Whether it’s eco-friendly commercial development, residential development, or you’re just looking to make your own residence a little greener, opt for eco-friendly permeable pavers to help make Northern California even greener.

What Are Permeable Pavers?

In roadways and other heavily paved areas such as parking lots and sidewalks (especially true in larger commercial building development), the systemic problem remains that the paving is not permeable, thus causing substantial negative impact to the local eco systems resulting from precipitation that simply can’t be soaked into the ground. Because of this lack of this porosity caused by heavily paved areas, the storm water has no where to go: Resulting in polluted runoff that eventually can get into precious water ways. Permeable pavers, however, provide a solid ground surface that is strong enough to accommodate large vehicles, while still allowing water to adequately permeate to underlying soils.

Environmental And Economic Benefits Of Permeable Pavers

Permeable pavers help to preserve our local eco systems by protecting one of the most precious resources of all—water. Reducing the amount of storm water runoff entering our natural waterways, permeable pavers (especially when used in large commercial or residential developments) substantially decreases the amount of pollutants that get into our waterways, drinking aquifers, and also into natural wetlands and other vulnerable ecological areas.

In addition to the positive environmental impact that permeable pavers can make, it’s also extremely affordable, compares to other types of paving. This is particularly true in both the installation and construction stages because contractors and builders won’t have to blueprint and install any additional drainage system, otherwise needed with other paving. In addition, you can drastically save on Northern California building compliance regulations.
