While concrete and asphalt have always been the go-to materials for driveways, the recent demand for sustainable landscape has made permeable pavements trendy. Known for draining water through the soil or the material itself, permeable pavements reduce water usage and storm water run-off. But more than being eco-friendly, many homeowners now prefer permeable materials for driveway paving because of the following reasons:

[b]1. Easy to Maintain[/b]

Permeable pavements only require low maintenance. Vacuuming and sweeping at least twice a year is enough to keep the surface clean. Unlike other forms of pavement, it is cheaper to maintain a permeable driveway.

[b]2. Less Costly[/b]

Apart from being low-maintenance, permeable materials are durable. In the long run, using them in your pavement is less costly. They’ll last for years, so you don’t need to spend a lot replacing or rebuilding them every now and then.

[b]3. Helps Solve Drainage Issues[/b]

Drainage problems in driveways will be reduced with a permeable pavement. Since this material allows water to seep into the ground, it will help keep stormwater from sitting upon the surface.

[b]4. Beneficial to Surrounding Plants[/b]

The stormwater seeping into the soil highly benefits the surrounding plants. Even if the homeowners don’t get to water their garden regularly, the plants near the pavement get enough nutrients.

[b]5. Improves Kerb Appeal[/b]

As they come in a variety of styles, permeable materials look better compared to other forms of pavement. Hence, they can greatly enhance the kerb appeal of your home.
