How to Install Permeable Pavers
- First layer: fabric lining
- Second layer: gravel bed
- Third layer: sand bed
- Fourth layer: pavers
You may be able to install the pavers for a smaller patio or walkway project, but we suggest that you use the services of a professional contractor for a larger project such as a driveway installation. This ensures safety measures such as underground utilities are accounted for and soil absorption levels are tested.
Hiring professionals for large-scale projects will also ensure the foundation is level and of the appropriate depth for your soil type.
Regardless of who does the installation, regular maintenance is required. You’ll need to sweep or vacuum the pavers once or twice a year to keep them free of debris so they can work properly.
