There are several types of permeable pavers, each suited for different environments. For instance, interlocking concrete pavers are great for driveways and patios due to their strength and versatility. I’ve also seen porous asphalt used effectively in parking lots, where its smooth surface makes it ideal for vehicle traffic while still allowing water to pass through.
Grass pavers and plastic grids are another interesting option; they combine the benefits of permeability with the natural beauty of grass, making them perfect for overflow parking areas or fire lanes. In my experience, they’re also excellent for preventing erosion in hilly areas. If you’re planning a project and need help deciding which type to use, you might find this page helpful.
