Permeable pavers have several advantages over traditional concrete or asphalt pavements. First, they allow rainwater to infiltrate through the pavement and recharge the groundwater supply, reducing the risk of flooding and improving water quality. Second, they can help mitigate the urban heat island effect by reducing the amount of heat absorbed and radiated by the pavement. Third, they can reduce the need for stormwater infrastructure, such as curbs, gutters, and detention ponds, which can save money on construction costs.

Permeable pavers can be installed on a variety of surfaces, including driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and patios. They can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Permeable pavers are designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance. TRUEGRID permeable pavers are designed to last more than 60 years under normal conditions. Even empty, they can withstand the weight of fully loaded dump trucks. And once they’re filled with gravel, they’re practically indestructible.

The cost of permeable pavers varies depending on the type of material used, the size of the project, and other factors. In most cases, TRUEGRID permeable pavers cost significantly less to install and maintain over the life of the lot than concrete or asphalt.

Yes, permeable pavers can be used in cold climates where freezing and thawing occurs. They are designed to allow water to infiltrate through the pavement, which can help prevent the formation of ice and reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents.

Permeable pavers require minimal maintenance, but they should be inspected periodically to ensure that they are functioning properly. Basic maintenance (like sweeping leaves) may be required to ensure water is able to drain through the system.
