Permeable driveways aren’t just decorative pavers — they’re a stormwater management system. When installed correctly, they allow water to pass through the surface and into a specially designed stone base below, reducing runoff, pooling, and ice buildup.

Permeable driveways are becoming an increasingly popular choice for Ottawa homeowners—and for good reason. Unlike traditional asphalt or concrete, permeable driveway systems are designed to allow rain and snowmelt to drain naturally through the surface and into the ground below.
