Are all permeable interlocking pavers filled with grass?Some are filled with grass, but few hardscapes that we design are built this way unless there is a specific aesthetic need for such a surface area in your Houston landscaping plan. Exceptions may include a patio that you use to store potted plants, or a unique grass patio surrounding a gazebo or natural form. Some clients like a very wilderness look for their property, and something like this would work very well in some settings on both an ecological or aesthetic level.
Can you fill permeable interlocking pavers with something other than grass?
Of course we can. There are a number of unique structures we can build that use crushed stone, or gravel, in the center of the holes in the grid pattern. In fact, some contemporary fountains can be integrated into such a patio that features a concrete grid layout filled with black crushed gravel that lets water filter through into a silent recycling pump that feeds the fountain.
I read in some other articles on your website that permeable interlocking pavers are not really permeable. How is that possible?
Some pavers are very small, much like cobblestone, and they are set in sand or crushed gravel much like bricks are in mortar. Technically there is a permeable surface here, with the water running down the paver surfaces into the sand packed cracks between, where it then runs into the ground.
