AUSTRALIAN PERMEABLE CONCRETE
Trusted Experts in Permeable Concrete Driveways
Permeable concrete driveways are a smart and sustainable choice for both residential and commercial properties. Designed to provide a durable, water-permeable surface, they effectively manage rainfall by allowing water to seep through rather than pooling on the surface. This reduces the risk of flooding, minimises erosion, and prevents water damage around the property.
Unlike traditional concrete or asphalt, porous concrete driveways improve drainage while maintaining strength and stability under heavy vehicle use. This makes them a low-maintenance solution that lasts for years without cracking or deteriorating due to trapped water.
By using high-quality permeable concrete mix, these driveways support groundwater recharge, easing the burden on stormwater systems and helping to maintain natural water cycles. This is particularly beneficial in urban areas where excess runoff can contribute to drainage issues and environmental concerns.
At APC, we specialise in permeable concrete driveway installations, offering high-quality solutions like Permcon and Ultracon. Our water-permeable concrete options not only enhance the appearance of a property but also provide long-term performance and environmental benefits. Whether for homes, businesses, or public spaces, our expertly designed driveways ensure durability, functionality, and sustainability.

FAQs
What makes a permeable concrete driveway different from a traditional driveway?
A permeable concrete driveway allows water to pass through its surface, reducing runoff and preventing water pooling. Unlike traditional concrete or asphalt, it helps with drainage and minimises the risk of flooding and erosion.
Is a permeable concrete driveway durable?
Yes, permeable concrete is designed to withstand regular vehicle and foot traffic. When installed correctly, it provides a long-lasting, low-maintenance surface that resists cracking and wear over time.
How does a permeable concrete driveway help the environment?
By allowing rainwater to filter through, water-permeable concrete reduces strain on stormwater systems, helps recharge groundwater, and decreases surface water pollution. It also prevents excess runoff that can lead to soil erosion.
Can permeable concrete be customised to match my property?
Yes, permeable concrete driveways come in a variety of colours and textures to complement different architectural styles. The permeable concrete mix can be tailored to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Does a permeable concrete driveway need special maintenance?
Regular light maintenance, such as occasional sweeping or pressure washing, helps keep the porous concrete free from debris that might block water flow. This ensures long-term performance and permeability.
How does permeable concrete handle heavy rainfall?
Water-permeable concrete absorbs rainwater and directs it into the ground, preventing puddles and reducing the risk of localised flooding. It is an effective solution for areas prone to heavy rain.
Is permeable concrete suitable for all climates?
Yes, permeable concrete performs well in different weather conditions. In colder climates, it helps prevent ice formation by allowing water to drain, reducing the risk of slippery surfaces.
How long does it take to install a permeable concrete driveway?
Installation time depends on the size of the driveway and site conditions. Once poured, permeable concrete requires curing time before it can be used, ensuring strength and durability.
Is a permeable concrete driveway more expensive than regular concrete?
The cost of permeable concrete varies depending on the project size and specific mix design. While the initial investment may be slightly higher, the long-term benefits, such as reduced drainage costs and durability, make it a cost-effective solution.
Can a permeable concrete driveway be used for heavy vehicles?
Yes, when designed with the appropriate permeable concrete mix, these driveways can support heavy loads, including cars and light commercial vehicles, without compromising strength or permeability.
Will weeds grow through a permeable concrete driveway?
Properly installed porous concrete minimises weed growth by preventing soil from accumulating on the surface. Routine cleaning helps maintain a clean and well-functioning driveway.
