Pervious
Pervious concrete pavement is a unique and effective means to address important environmental issues and support green, sustainable growth. By capturing stormwater and allowing it to seep into the ground, porous concrete is instrumental in recharging groundwater and reducing stormwater runoff, This pavement technology creates more efficient land use by eliminating the need for retention ponds, swales, and other stormwater management devices.
Not exactly a "decorative" concrete finish, pervious concrete can be dressed up by adding integral color, making it an acceptable architectural look when impervious surfaces are not approved or desired.
Grasscrete™
Grasscrete™ is a cast-in-place, monolithic, porous concrete pavement that is continuously reinforced to provide superior structural integrity.
After the concrete is sufficiently hardened, the voids are filled with topsoil and grass, thus providing a free draining "pavement" with the structural capacity to handle most heavy vehicle loads.
Great for emergency access lanes, delivery access routes, overflow parking areas, and for intermittent drainage channels to help prevent erosion.
