Is permeable paving beneficial?

• <div><p>Permeable paving is a good option for a lot of reasons. It can help prevent flooding, keeps harmful chemicals from polluting our water, and can divert water away from your home’s foundation. Plus, it can add a rustic aesthetic to your outdoor area, might prevent pests who breed in water, and may even qualify for tax rebates.</p></div>

• <div><p>Pavers are a type of permeable hardscape that can be used for driveways, patios, walkways, and other landscaping features. Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, pavers typically have a layer of gravel underneath to prevent water runoff from damaging your property—though you can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-lay-pavers-on-grass.htm">lay pavers on grass</a>. Because pavers are installed piece by piece, you can customize a one-of-a-kind hardscape that best suits your aesthetics, boosting your curb appeal along the way.</p></div>

Q: What types of driveways don't need to cure?

• <div><p>A gravel driveway can be driven on instantly. While pavers don't technically need to cure, you'll typically be told by a contractor to wait at least 24 hours before driving on any stones or bricks after they've been set. While an asphalt driveway does take up to 72 hours to cure, this is far shorter than the week required for concrete driveways.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to remove a concrete slab before laying pavers?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s far more labor-intensive and expensive to demolish a concrete slab before laying down pavers. You&rsquo;ll need a professional to break up and haul away the concrete, excavate underneath, bring in paver base or crushed gravel, and then level the area with leveling sand before laying the pavers. A new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-paver-patio-cost.htm">paver patio will cost</a> around <b>$1,000 to $2,000</b>, which is more than laying pavers over a concrete patio, and takes longer to complete.</p></div>

Q: What are permeable pavers?

• <div><p>If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers. </p></div>
