Concrete permeable pavers protect lawn grasses, ground covers, garden plants, and trees from flooding. They filter water through the pavers into ground below. They also protect plants in the yard from toxic chemicals that can be carried or washed out by rainwater. In the grand scheme of things, they protect the streets of Houston from flooding, and the streams and rivers of the Gulf Coast from pollutants that would otherwise wash out of storm sewers into natural bodies of water.The cost of these custom hardscapes does represent an investment on the part of the discriminating Houston homeowner. While it may be tempting to opt for a lower grade of concrete that can be installed at lower cost, in the long run it is much wiser to invest a little more in an eco-friendly form of Houston landscaping that will improve the curb appeal of the property.
If cost seems intimidating regardless of the potential return on investment, consider the fact that there are two types of hardscapes we can build that can be classified as concrete permeable pavers. The first type is an interlocking pattern where the spaces between the pavers themselves act as natural drains. The other type features pavers that are made from pervious concrete that is able to filter water through its mass.
