Environmentally-Friendly Permeable Pavers Installed in Mobile County, AL

We all want to do our bit to leave our corner of the world better than we found it.  One way to do that is to search for green, lower-impact building practices.  Whether you're a homeowner, a commercial business, or a municipality, you can feel good about selecting eco-friendly options for your construction and improvement projects.  Permeable paving is a simple, affordable choice that supports our area's ecosystem without sacrificing effectiveness.  Choosing permeable pavers instead of old-fashioned solid paving helps the environment, but these pavers are also wonderful products in their own right.  This type of paver is attractive and versatile—durable, stable, and easy to maintain.  Permeable or porous pavers function just as well as traditional pavers, but with the added benefit of improved rainwater management.  
 

What are Permeable Pavers, and Why Should We Use Them?

In Mobile, AL, and surrounding areas of coastal Alabama, we can get a lot of rain, and it often comes down by the bucketful, with inches often falling in a single day.  Between summer thunderstorms, tropical storms, and run-of-the-mill rainy frontal systems, it's not unusual for the Port City to receive a great deal of precipitation in a short period of time.  Our local geography and soil composition is generally very good at accommodating large amounts of rain.  The soil absorbs it like a sponge, naturally and to the benefit of our ecosystem.  

However, with on-going property development and the continual expansion of our cities and roadways, more and more of the ground surface is blanketed with impenetrable materials, including concrete and asphalt.  Solid-surface, traditional pavers also fall into this category.  These materials prevent rain from re-entering the soil, acting as a physical barrier between the rain and the absorbent soil underneath the paving.  Instead, the rainwater either stands, forming annoying puddles, or becomes run-off.  

Surface run-off follows gravity along the path of least resistance, contributing to erosion, flash flooding, clogged storm drains, and other property damage.  Another unpleasant result of runoff is the pollution of local waters.  Litter and chemical pollutants are picked up along the way as the runoff travels to its final destination—our local bodies of water.  

Fortunately, there's a better way!  Permeable pavers provide a safe, clean, level surface, yet they are designed, constructed, and installed in such a way that rain can still permeate—or pass through—the paved surface.  Instead of puddling or flowing quickly away, rain can filter through the paved surface and reach the soil beneath it, benefiting plants and creatures in your immediate vicinity.  Clever engineering makes it possible!  We can continue to enjoy stable, aesthetically pleasing pavers that are ideal for both vehicle and pedestrian use without neglecting our responsibility to protect our local environment for generations yet to come.
