Nothing to sink or spread
No units to rock, no edges to creep, no joints for weeds and ants.
Permeable Paving Grid
Permeable Paving Grid, Poured as One Surface
Permeable concrete drains through the material itself. No joints, no units, no re-levelling. Made and installed by our own crews.
Rain goes straight through, not across
If "permeable paving grid" is what you are weighing up, here is the poured version of the idea: permeable concrete is one continuous surface with 20 to 26 percent connected voids, so water passes straight through the material into an open stone base and soaks away below.
That is the same drainage outcome councils are after when they set permeable area requirements, without the joints and units that shift over time. The rest of this page covers what it takes, what it holds and where it works.
What the poured surface gets you
The whole surface drains
130 to 170 litres per minute per square metre, through the material itself.
Built for traffic
20 to 25 MPa mixes, trafficable to AS 3727.1, with a P4 slip rating.
Poured in a day
Our crews place 500 square metres and more in a day, as one visit.
Counts as permeable area
A drainage surface that helps meet council permeable area requirements on new builds and extensions.

Common questions
How is this different from pavers or grids?+
Pavers and grids drain through the gaps between units, and units can shift, sink and grow weeds over time. Permeable concrete drains through the material itself as one continuous poured surface, so there is nothing to move and the entire area drains.
How much rain can it actually take?+
The material accepts 130 to 170 litres per minute per square metre. Australian storms do not get close to that, which is why finished surfaces 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 surface 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.
What does it cost?+
It depends on the area, the access and what is there now. Larger areas favour a poured surface because our crews place it in one visit. We quote after seeing the site, and if a different surface genuinely suits your job better we will tell you that.
