Permeable Pavers:

Many of the "green" features of this home add style as well as environmental and economic benefits. A prime example is the Eco-stone permeable paving used on the ground level patio and driveway. Permeable paving allows rainwater to rapidly infiltrate and enter the subbase where it is naturally filtered, rather than run off into storm sewers. Eco-stone is also fast-drying to create a useable, low maintenance patio area that will also absorb and radiate solar energy to extend outdoor living times.

Eco-stone permeable paving is available from Mutual Materials, where you can also find a referral to a Mutual Materials Preferred Contractor for guaranteed installation. www.mutualmaterials.com
