Permeable paving and sustainable landscapes

Permeable Solutionz resin bound natural river pebbles
As we grapple with the challenges surrounding climate change and urban drainage issues we have an opportunity to make a real difference. SUDS or sustainable urban drainage schemes are mandated in some jurisdictions. In other areas with awareness or public budget lags, individuals can make a difference, without being told they have to.

Permeable paving includes attractive resin bound aggregates, loose aggregates and non mortared paving blocks. Natural resin bound aggregates have the advantage of being firm under foot or wheel, while still offering 30m sec/m2 flows.

Sustainable landscape design requires us to look at hard landscaping with fresh eyes. We need products that look good, feel great under bare feet ( we are sensory designers too), are durable and work well for all users.
