Water bills keep climbing and there’s no question that the sooner you incorporate eco-friendly hardscaping into your property, the better. If you’re ready to slash your water and landscaping bills, permeable paving is an option you definitely want to consider.
Permeable paving is a very simple concept. Paving stones, flagstones, etc. are placed within the landscape with enough space left between them to allow moisture to seep through into the soil. The space between the pavers can be filled with a wide variety of materials ranging from pea gravel to drought resistant grass such as Bermuda, Bahia, or Fescue. This gives you a considerable amount of control over the colors and accents that best suit your property.
Naturally the larger the space between the pavers, the more moisture can permeate into the soil. Typically, a couple of inches is sufficient for our Massachusetts climate. This spacing gives you plenty of room to design and space your hardscaping into some truly creative patterns.
Eco-friendly hardscaping is an ideal choice for “greening up” your property and reducing your water bill. We encourage you to contact Triad Associates, Inc. for more details about the hardscaping we recommend in the area for this purpose.
