Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
