Permeable Pavers
Let the rain do its job.
Permeable pavers allow stormwater to infiltrate through the surface into a reservoir base rather than running off. In Florida's stormwater management landscape, permeable systems can satisfy SWFMD drainage requirements, reduce standing water, and qualify for green building credits.
Key Features
- Allows water infiltration — eliminates runoff at the source
- Can satisfy Southwest Florida Water Management District requirements
- Reduces standing water and flooding in low areas
- Qualifies for LEED and Florida Green Building credit
- Recharges groundwater naturally
Best Applications
Available Colors
Available in concrete tones — gray, tan, charcoal, buff
Maintenance
Annual vacuum cleaning recommended to clear joint material of sediment. Every 5–7 years: refresh aggregate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are permeable pavers required in some Florida communities?
Yes. Certain HOA communities and municipal zoning codes in stormwater-sensitive areas require permeable surfaces for new driveways and parking areas. We advise on local requirements during your estimate.
How do permeable pavers handle heavy rain?
A properly designed permeable paver system with an adequate reservoir base can handle 4+ inches of rain per hour — more than Florida's heaviest rain events. System sizing depends on soil infiltration rate and drainage requirements.
Do weeds grow through permeable pavers?
More than traditional pavers, yes. The open joints allow some germination. Landscape fabric in the base layer and regular maintenance address this. The tradeoff is significant drainage benefit.
