The Advantages of Permeable Pavers for Coastal Properties

A Smarter Paving Solution

For coastal properties on the Treasure Coast, managing stormwater runoff is a significant environmental and practical concern. Permeable pavers offer an advanced and eco-friendly paving solution that directly addresses these challenges. Unlike traditional solid surfaces that cause water to run off, permeable pavers allow it to soak through, benefiting your landscape and the local ecosystem. Right Way Enclosures & Pavers offers expert paver installation of these innovative systems.


How Permeable Pavers Work

A permeable paver system looks very similar to a standard paver surface but is designed differently underneath. The pavers themselves have larger joints filled with small, clean aggregate (stone). This allows water to flow freely through the joints into a specially engineered sub-base made of progressively larger layers of open-graded stone. This sub-base acts as a reservoir, holding the water and allowing it to percolate naturally into the ground below.


Managing Stormwater Runoff

Florida's heavy rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems and lead to significant runoff from traditional driveways and patios. This runoff can carry pollutants into local waterways like the Indian River Lagoon. Permeable pavers drastically reduce stormwater runoff from your property by capturing rain where it falls. This helps protect the water quality of our local estuaries, a crucial benefit for environmentally conscious homeowners in Vero Beach, Sebastian, and Stuart.

Preventing Puddles and Erosion

By allowing water to drain through the surface, permeable pavers prevent the formation of puddles on your driveway or patio after a storm. This improves safety and usability. It also helps prevent soil erosion that can be caused by concentrated streams of water running off solid surfaces. For properties in Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie with drainage challenges or that are subject to local stormwater regulations, permeable pavers can be an ideal solution.


Aesthetic and Practical Appeal

You don't have to sacrifice style for function. Permeable pavers come in a variety of colors, shapes, and styles, similar to conventional patio pavers. They can be used to create beautiful and durable driveways, patios, and walkways that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible. The installation process is more complex than standard pavers, requiring specialized knowledge of base preparation.
