Pervious Concrete

Air voids in the structure allow a flow through rate equal to 8 to 12 gallons per minute per square foot reducing or eliminating runoff. Rainfall up to one inch will be held by a 5 inch layer of pervious concrete before it begins to runoff or percolate into the substrate.

Landscaping receives greater benefit from rain fall, requiring less irrigation.

The material can be tinted to match native soil or building colors just like standard concrete products. And it is just at durable with a 30+ year life span.

We are one of the first wave of California contractors certified to install Pervious Concrete.

This fast draining porous material has been deemed by the Environmental Protection Agency as "a viable alternative to traditional best management practices for stormwater treatment."

Storm water filters in to the ground replenishing aquifers. Surface pollutants are carried into the material and substrate where aerobic bacteria break them down instead of being swept into rivers, streams, or storm sewers

 

Less heat is created and retained compared to asphalt or standard concrete.
