Permeable Paver Driveway

The Paver Look That Drinks the Rain

A seamless permeable concrete driveway carries the character of pavers with none of the joints that sink, spread or sprout weeds. Poured in a day by the crew that makes the material.

Rain goes straight through, not across

Searching for a permeable paver driveway usually means two things: you want the driveway to look good, and you want the rain to go into the ground instead of across it. There are two ways to get there. Permeable pavers do it through the gaps between units. Permeable concrete does it through the material itself.

Our surface is one continuous pour with 20 to 26 percent connected voids, so every square metre drains, not just the joints. Water that lands on it passes through to an open stone base and soaks away below, which is exactly what councils are asking for when they set permeable area requirements for new driveways.

No units to rock loose under a car. No edges to creep. No joints for weeds. One surface, poured and finished in a day.

Permeable paver driveway questions

What exactly is a permeable paver driveway?+
Any driveway surface that lets rain pass into the ground instead of running off. Permeable pavers do it through gaps between the units. Permeable concrete does it through the material itself: a continuous pour with connected voids, so the entire surface drains rather than just the joints.
Can I still get the paver look?+
You get a seamless exposed-stone finish rather than individual units. Most people shopping for permeable pavers are really after two things, a driveway that looks considered and one that drains, and a poured surface delivers both without joint lines that shift over time. Have a look at the gallery on this page and judge the finish for yourself.
Which costs less, permeable pavers or permeable concrete?+
It depends on the area and access. Larger driveways favour a poured surface because our crews place it in one visit, while very small areas such as a courtyard can favour pavers. We quote after seeing the site, and if pavers genuinely suit your job better we will tell you that.
How much rain can it actually take?+
The material accepts 130 to 170 litres per minute per square metre. Melbourne storms do not get close to that, which is why finished driveways show no puddles and no sheet of water heading for the street.
Will council count it as permeable area?+
Many councils set a minimum permeable area for new builds and extensions, and a permeable concrete driveway is a drainage surface designed for exactly that. Requirements differ between councils, so tell us where the job is and we will talk through what yours asks for.
