Permeable Pavement Systems
General contractor services for permeable pavement systems in Mesquite, TX. Direct partnership with property owners, developers, and facility managers.
Permeable Pavement Systems
Permeable concrete pavement installation for stormwater management, LEED projects, and sustainable site development. Pervious concrete parking areas, walkways, and drainage integration for commercial properties.
Permeable concrete pavement systems provide stormwater management while creating functional parking and driving surfaces, supporting sustainable development goals and helping properties meet increasingly stringent stormwater regulations. Property developers and owners throughout the DFW metroplex incorporate permeable paving addressing both environmental requirements and LEED certification objectives.
As your general contractor for sustainable site development, we install permeable concrete pavement systems including subbase preparation, pervious concrete placement, and maintenance planning. These systems allow rainwater to infiltrate through the pavement into underlying aggregate storage layers reducing runoff volumes and providing natural filtration before water reaches storm sewers or receiving waters.
Pervious concrete differs from conventional concrete using gap-graded aggregate creating interconnected voids allowing water passage while maintaining structural integrity for vehicular traffic. Mix design, placement techniques, and finishing methods all differ from conventional concrete requiring specialized expertise for successful installation. Improper installation creates clogged pavements that don't drain or weak pavements that fail under traffic.
Stormwater regulations in many jurisdictions now mandate on-site retention or treatment of rainfall reducing runoff to municipal systems. Permeable pavement provides one tool meeting these requirements while creating functional parking or driving surfaces. Retail developments, office buildings, and industrial facilities all benefit from permeable paving helping achieve regulatory compliance and sustainability certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can permeable concrete be used?
Permeable concrete suits parking lots, access roads, fire lanes, and pedestrian areas with appropriate traffic loads and minimal fine sediment sources. It's not typically used for heavy truck traffic or areas receiving runoff carrying significant sediment that could clog the system.
How does permeable concrete compare to conventional concrete?
Permeable concrete typically costs more initially but provides stormwater management value that may reduce or eliminate separate retention facilities. It requires maintenance to prevent clogging. Structural capacity is somewhat lower than conventional concrete limiting application to lighter traffic areas.
What maintenance do permeable pavements require?
Periodic vacuum sweeping removes debris from surface preventing clogging. The frequency depends on site conditions and sediment loading. Proper landscape management preventing soil and sediment migration onto pavement is critical. Well-maintained systems provide many years of service.
Can permeable pavement help with LEED certification?
Yes, permeable pavement can contribute to LEED credits for stormwater management and sustainable site development. Documentation of infiltration rates and runoff reduction supports certification applications. Many commercial developments use permeable paving as part of comprehensive sustainable design strategies.
What about freeze-thaw durability in Texas?
While Texas experiences less freeze-thaw cycling than northern climates, permeable concrete is designed for freeze-thaw exposure. Proper mix design, air entrainment, and installation ensure durability under typical Texas weather conditions including occasional freezing temperatures.
