Patios - Walks - Driveways

• Pavers or paving?
• Natural stone
• Modular stone
• Pathways - aggregates or mulch or pavers

Permeable Paving - Water Absorption

• Permeable pavers and paving absorb rainfall into the ground, reducing stormwater runoffs and erosions, and recharging our groundwaters
• Patios, driveways and walks can be landscaped with permeable pavers
• Often integrated with "Sustainable Landscapes" designs and installations

The Base is Everything

• The key to permanence is the depth, the materials, and the compaction and drainage of the base underneath. Without the right depth, right materials, and the right compaction and drainage, dips form, tilting occurs, and worse
• Base preparation - starting with excavation and setting grades - is essential.
