Commercial Permeable Paver Systems

Control Water. Reduce Runoff. Build Responsibly.

Permeable paver systems offer a smart, sustainable alternative to traditional hardscapes—helping properties manage stormwater, reduce runoff, and meet modern drainage regulations without sacrificing strength or aesthetics. Total Paving & Brick Services installs commercial-grade permeable pavers for a variety of uses, combining functionality with long-term durability and environmental benefits.

What Are Permeable Pavers?

Permeable pavers are interlocking concrete or composite units installed over a layered base designed to absorb, filter, and redirect water through the system. Instead of shedding water into storm drains or surrounding landscaping, permeable surfaces allow rain to flow between pavers and into a subsurface gravel bed, where it slowly infiltrates the soil or is routed to a drainage outlet.

This system is ideal for:

  • Parking areas
  • Walkways
  • Courtyards
  • Emergency access routes
  • Overflow lots
  • Low-impact development projects

Why Choose Total Paving?

  • Stormwater Management Expertise – We install systems designed to meet local and municipal drainage codes
  • Durable, Load-Bearing Surfaces – Suitable for vehicle traffic, parking, or light-duty loading

  • Low-Maintenance Performance – No standing water, surface puddling, or clogged drains

  • Environmentally Friendly – Helps reduce runoff, control pollutants, and support LEED goals
  • Flexible System Options – We install both traditional concrete pavers and advanced modular systems like TrueGrid or Geogrid

What’s Included in Our Permeable Paver Installation

Every installation is engineered to meet the specific drainage and load-bearing needs of your site. Our process includes:

  • Site excavation and soil evaluation
  • Installation of a multi-layered, compacted stone base for infiltration and storage
  • Filter fabric placement (if required) to separate soils from base layers
  • Laying of permeable paver units or modular grid systems
  • Filling of joints with approved aggregate to promote water flow and surface stability
  • Optional edge restraints or curb integration for clean perimeter finishes

We also offer maintenance programs for ongoing cleaning, sediment removal, or paver replacement if needed.
