The Situation:
The client had flooding in the back and front of the house due to an uneven grade of the lot and excessive roof runoff.
Driveway before- 'pervious pavers' that had settled and were not performing the way the homeowner had hoped.
Sideyard before- muddy, and not very useful.
Why Pervious Concrete?
He initially wanted a pervious concrete driveway because of impervious ground cover limitations in his city.
The Solution:
We designed a pervious concrete driveway and side yard that is also the retention pond for all of the roof and yard runoff.The pervious concrete water retention system captures 100% of their runoff from the roof AND the lot. They now have a dry front yard, back yard and they can grill just off the kitchen without puddles!
Sideyard after- Now this space can be used for laundry and garbage bin storage.
