Any new driveway over 5m² must provide a drainage system for water to run to a permeable area. An impermeable surface is any solid and impervious surface such as asphalt, roofing, stone, brick or concrete, that blocks the land’s natural ability to infiltrate rainfall. When water cannot easily drain from a driveway surface, it goes towards your house. Permeable driveways have a pervious surface such as loose stone or gravel and enable water and precipitation to flow through without difficulty.

For heavy-duty construction and landscaping projects, Ecoraster’s E50 is the perfect solution. This permeable paver grid system is made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic and is quick and easy to install. It can hold 70,000 pounds per square foot and withstand even the harshest of weather all year long. Works in tandem with grass, gravel, or Ecoraster Bloxx.
