− | {{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.

− | <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.
