PAVERS
Permeable paving has been seen as important by the U.S. Department of Transportation and is useful virtually anywhere, as long as it is installed and maintained correctly.
What it means
TAKEN TOGETHER, permeable paving is being required by municipalities, has been seen as important by the U.S. Department of Transportation, has been shown to work in real-world installations, and is useful virtually anywhere, as long as it is installed and maintained correctly, according to research. That translates into one word: demand.
Rest assured that clay permeable pavers will be in demand today and tomorrow. Those mason contractors who either learn how to install it themselves, or form partnerships with those who already have the knowhow, will be in a position to add to their bottom lines. IMAS
