Permeable Pavers More Eco-friendly Than Solid Concrete
If you need to redo your driveway, patio, or paths around your home, think permeable pavers instead of solid concrete. Why? Permeable pavers are eco-friendly because holes (sometimes filled with crushed gravel) between the pavers allow rain water to slowly percolate into the ground instead of creating fast runoff into local waterways, which can cause damage.
These holes are negligible when you're walking or driving over the pavers, and they are a simple way to make your home a little more green. They look pretty darn good too!
