A permeable drive looks like any paver drive until it rains: the water goes down through the joints instead of running across the drive and into the street or the basement. The pavers have wide joints filled with clean chip stone, and under them sits a deep base of washed, open-graded stone that holds the rain and lets it soak away.
We work out the base for your soil and how much water your roof and drive send its way, and give it an overflow for the worst storms. It costs a little more than a standard drive, and on a wet lot or one with a paving limit it is often the only way to get the drive you want.
A light vacuum sweep once or twice a year keeps the joints open; top up the joint stone where it settles. Never seal them or fill the joints with sand.
Can they help with a stormwater limit?+
Often, yes: many townships count a permeable drive differently from a solid one. We check the rules for your lot before we design it.
Questions about drives, patios, prices and the towns we cover
Hi! Ask me what Kessler lays, what a paver or asphalt drive usually costs per square foot, how soon a crew can start or which towns we cover. For an exact price, a free estimate is the way: call (215) 555-0162.
