Basics

  • Methods of paving ground that allow for water to pass through thus reducing and/or eliminating the need for rainwater runoff management

Methods

Gravel

  • The simplest yet also not durable, and tends to spread over time
  • Simple to start, and maintain

Tiles

  • Tiles with grass sections (works best with small tiles)
  • Tiles with dirt,sand or gravel spacing

Pervious Concrete

Internal Links

  • Drainage Tile / French Drain etc once those pages are made
    • Can potentially be put in the same area / put under the pavement if need be
    • A Gravel Pit of sorts was used as a drain for a wash area (For those Cages / "Crates" and whatnot along with litterboxes) at the Animal Shelter i worked at, cheap way to have a system for that
