Is permeable paving expensive?

• <div><p>Yes, permeable paving is expensive. For driveways, expect to pay up to <b>$70 per square foot</b>; for patios, permeable paving can cost up to <b>$30</b> <b>per square foot</b>. Costs will depend on the type of material you choose, plus the standard labor rate in your area.</p></div>

What kind of driveway can be exposed to water right after installation?

• <div><p>Gravel is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-driveways.htm">one of the few driveway materials</a> that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at <b>$1 to $3 per square foot</b>, and can also last upward of 100 years.</p></div>

Q: When’s the best time to install permeable pavers?

• <div><p>The best time to install permeable pavers is during mild, dry weather, usually during spring or early fall. Installing during extreme heat or heavy rain can increase the chance of problems, like poor compaction, shifting, or drainage issues. You should also avoid winter installations in areas where the ground freezes, since frozen soil can prevent proper excavation and base prep. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under permeable pavers?

• <div><p>Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much do interlocking pavers cost?

• <div><p>Depending on material and design complexity, costs range from $10 to $30 per square foot. Installation labor increases the total.</p></div>
