Landscape Advantages of Permeable Pavers in Rainy Climates

If you live in the Pacific Northwest or another area that receives a large amount of rainfall, you know how challenging it can be to discern the best type of landscaping to install. It is difficult to deal with the inevitably large amount of rain water and water runoff. Puddles might form in your garden or patio area. You may find the climate frustrating to deal with. 

If this sounds familiar, let us introduce you to a beautiful solution: permeable hardscape. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at several major advantages of implementing permeable pavers into your landscape. These clever pavers offer many benefits that allow water to be absorbed into the ground instead of puddling on top.

Beneficial to the Environment

Permeable pavers are a benefit not only to your backyard, but also to the environment. They assist in managing stormwater and help filter pollutants out of groundwater for cleaner waterways.

Durable in Wet Conditions

Permeable pavers are able to hold up and assist in preventing floods and water damage. Even in extremely wet conditions, they will last long and continue to do their job of allowing water to be absorbed into the soil instead of creating hazardous flooding. While traditional hardscape has its place, permeable pavers are the best choice when large amounts of water are involved.

Easy Stone Maintenance and Usability

Do you want to find a paver that is easy to use and maintain? Permeable pavers are good for these things as well. They also have convenient safety features such as slip resistance that make them ideal for walking on even when it’s drippy out.

Various Style Options

Permeable pavers come in a variety of styles and easily complement different types of landscape. You can also easily customize the pattern or style to best suit your own taste or the aesthetic of your region.

Cost Effective Products

Permeable pavers are a bit more pricey up front. However, their ability to absorb water into the soil can prevent damage to your property and therefore save you money and time in the long run.
