==Overview==
 
{{textbox|Permeable paving is ideal for:
 
*Projects which accommodate light vehicular traffic or pedestrian traffic,
 
*Sites which cannot accommodate additional surface area for bioretention}}
 
 
 
'''The fundamental components of a permeable paving system are:'''
 
*interlocking blocks with infiltration spaces between, '''or'''
 
*a poured in place surface without fines, so that the finish is pervious to water
 
*a bedding course to stabilize the surface
 
*underground storage layer of aggregate.
 
 
 
'''Additional components may include:'''
 
*an underdrain system
 
 
 
==Planning considerations==
 
 
 
<h3>Landscaping</h3>
 
Landscaped areas must drain away from permeable pavement to prevent sediments from running onto the surface. Urban [[trees]] will benefit from being surrounded by permeable pavement rather than impervious cover, because their roots receive more air and water. Interlocking pavers used around the base of a tree may be removed as the tree grows.
