How to use permeable paving?

Subscriber Access

There are many ways to introduce more greenery into our homes and cities, such as bird-attracting trees, vegetable gardens, and medicinal plants. However, certain outdoor zones must serve as pathways, recreational areas, parking spaces, or other functions. For these areas, permeable paving offers an excellent alternative.

In these high-traffic areas, planting is impractical, and bare soil often turns to mud. Yet, before simply sealing the ground, it is crucial to remember that soil permeability is essential for preventing standing water and urban flooding. This is why permeable paving, which allows rainwater to infiltrate the ground, is such an effective option for outdoor surfaces.
