Our soils clean water as it peculates back into the water table, cleansing most of the filth before it reaches our rivers and other water bodies. Unfortunately the majority of our urban landscapes are concrete and stone which is designed to run the water down into the streets and through the drains straight to the our rivers, lakes, and oceans. Without allowing the soil and roots of the landscape remove harmful toxins, we are further poisoning our natural water sources. Up till now we had few options on how to better our ways, and maintain harscape surfaces while considering where water would run.
Today, there is a glimmer of hope to that bleak future, and its not just permeable but also recycled. Using up the very tires that often require these surfaces, 'PorusPave' has formulated a solution. Durable, flexible, and permeable, this company has the answer for hard concrete surfaces, and water shedding brick pavers. Strong but light weight the rubber chips make for a flexible and frost crack resistant surface. This product can be mixed up on sight, and used on new or existing landscape. 'PorusPave' is 55% lighter then competing bricks and concrete, and uses a staggering 300 scrap tires to make 1,000 square foot area at 2 inches deep. 2 inches being plenty for light vehicular traffic such as a driveway or homestead lane way.

This is a great way to add color in a beneficial way to our landscapes. This is a good thing instead of concrete or even paving stones. I think that everyone should look into this as an alternative to hard scaping for paths. Isn’t this also good for ramps and such as well that tend to gather ice in the winter time? Maybe mention that?
When can you come and install at my house? I will even make you cookies! and I do know you like cookies!!! You tell a good story Tristyn, keep up the good work!
