- A worn asphalt driveway is removed and a new permeable paver driveway is installed. An environmentally conscious decision to reduce stormwater runoff and beautify a space at the same time.

Dude that's well explained 👏 good job
How about geotextile under the aggregate to prevent soil intrusion, and even between aggregate layers to prevent them mixing?
What would a 30x 18 ft driveway cost. ballpark ..Maine
Could you explain when to use pavement boarder curbs and how to plan a sloped driveway please
Was there no setback requirement for the foundation of the house?
Hi, thanks for the video. Project looks great. Had a question about the thermal layer mentioned at the end of your video. I have never heard of this before. How is this effect created and in what conditions? I appreciate that there is a lot of air underneath the driveway but why does the cold from the exposed stones not transfer the cold down to this trapped air? I live in Toronto, where we get cold winters so am intrigued by a system that would melt snow naturally.
Thanks!
I'm not sure on the physics, but I know it does accumulation of small amt of snow or frost. I'm in MN and I have a driveway made of 2/3 traditional paver and 1/3 at the bottom that is permeable. I can tell you a small layer of snow or frost melts quicker (or doesn't accumulate at all) on the permeable vs the non. They are the same surface pavers so the difference is the depth and the materials of the sub surface of the permeable portion.
I think it has to do with the higher capacity for thermal conduction with concrete pavers and stone bed with a quick transfer and storage to sub surface which is comprised of larger thermal conducting stone and air gaps.
Nick, would you recommend poly sand as an alternative to the small stone in the paver gaps? Everything else looks great but looks like it would wash away in no time. Thanks
poly sand would defeat the purpose as it is unlikely to let much water thru. Instead water would just run over the pavers into the street.
the water bucket test at 4:00 makes me wonder how much of the crushed rock will wash down the drive during a heavy rain. you can see allot of it being pushed out of the gaps. What sort of maintenance should the new drive owner expect?
natural rainfall wouldn't be that strong and impact from about above not like him from almost horizontal direct..
You can cement the gravel as long as it's just stones and cement, no sand.
@@AndrewHelgeCox No you cant. Not if you want them to remain permeable when you're done.
I had a permeable drive installed last year. They used # crushed granite for the setting base/between pavers. That stays pretty well even thru a few heavy down pours last summer.
@@ClownCarCoup I was going by this Practical Engineering video: ua-cam.com/video/ERPbNWI_uLw/v-deo.htmlm0s
@@AndrewHelgeCox That linked vid addresses permeable pavement. This type of concrete does work - but not as well as pavers - because the entire surface is somewhat permeable due to small gaps in the mixture of concrete.
The video here covers using permeable pavers . The pavers themselves aren't permeable but they are designed to interlock with gaps between the pavers. Water runs over the paver and into these gaps and down into a subsurface basin to percolate into the ground. If you fill these gaps with cement (or allow them to clog up with dirt and debris) they will no longer allow water to pass down.
podría explicar en español por favor? Gracias. SALUDOS DESDE MORELOS, MÉXICO.
Hola Colibri! Es possible a explicar en espanol, pero mi spanish is solo mas o manos. Nos veo... a translation en espanol - podreo...
quick question,nick um say me and one other guy want too bid this job installing 7 pallets of this stuff,it's a lil different it's called drivable grass or something like that what would be a reasonable amount too charge for the job,
donny radcliffe kind of hard for me to say...but consider all of your material costs and estimate an amount you would charge per day of installation - or come up with a square footage cost...not sure how much 7 pallets would cover...sorry I could not be of better help...maybe contact the supplier of the driveable grass...
thanks nick,i figure out something.i was worth a shot thanks again
Being a permeable base... you still need to lay your base with pitch away from home or level is fine because the water going through the pavers joint...
You can pitch the soil below the aggregate I guess, and you can lay a pond liner under the part nearest the house to move water away from it down that pitch.
You don't want permeable within 10 ft of your house foundation. Once you're far enough away you want your permeable basin(s) to be level in order to hold water and allow infiltration. If your driveway is pitched, this may require several basins or "steps" depending on the driveway length and grade.
How about using cement to stabilise the bed under the pavers?
Not permeable
Don't mean to rain on your beautiful driveway but it seems way to costly this job had to have cost these people a small fortune seems overkill it is very nice though of u have lots of money too spend
Holy overkill batman! Could you find a more expensive way to put in a driveway??
