Permeable paving is quickly becoming the most desirable surface option for driveways, patios, walkways, tree surrounds, and more. Not surprising, especially when we consider the negative impact “impermeable” surfaces have had on our landscape. Needless to say, building a resilient landscape should be a top priority. So, how does permeable pavement work? Let’s discuss PurePave, a revolutionary permeable pavement. How does Permeable Pavement Work? Green and Resilient Infrastructure PurePave permeable pavement is green and resilient. Traditional surfaces, such as asphalt and concrete, are “hard” and “impermeable”. Consequently, stormwater and surface run-off has nowhere to go. This causes flooding and stormwater pollution. Alternatively, PurePave’s intelligent formula creates high strength surfacing that allows rainwater to seep into the soil. Therefore, it helps cut off stormwater and, in turn, reduces the stress and pollution on local waterways. Replenishes Aquifers PurePave permeable pavement functions just like natural soil. It allows water to permeate through…
