Permeable paving is a type of surface material designed to allow water to pass through it, rather than running off like it does on traditional asphalt or concrete. It helps manage stormwater by filtering it back into the ground, reducing erosion, pooling, and strain on local drainage systems.
As an authorized installer of Stormflow Surfacing, a Canadian-made product from a Canadian company, we offer a premium permeable solution that allows up to 5,800 gallons of water to pass through each square foot every hour. This seamless “pour-in-place” system is mixed and applied on-site, making it faster to install than pavers and easier than concrete. It cures within 24 hours and comes in a wide range of colours and patterns to suit any space—perfect for driveways, patios, walkways, and more.
Why Choose Permeable Paving?
"Smart, Sustainable, and Built to Last.
Reduces Stormwater Runoff
Allows water to pass through the surface, reducing flooding and easing pressure on drainage systems.
Improves Water Quality
Filters out pollutants and debris before water reaches the ground, helping protect local waterways.
Minimizes Heat Build-Up
Stays cooler than traditional pavements by promoting evaporation and using lighter materials.
Long-Lasting Performance
With proper care, permeable surfaces can last 20–40 years—comparable to or better than conventional options.
Supports Eco-Friendly Landscaping
Encourages groundwater recharge and reduces erosion, promoting a healthier, more sustainable environment.
Lower Infrastructure Costs
Reduces the need for extensive stormwater systems, which can help offset higher initial installation costs.
