Design Permeable Paver Systems with Confidence

Permeable pavers offer an eco-friendly solution for driveways, patios, walkways, and parking areas by allowing rainwater to infiltrate through the surface rather than running off into storm drains. But proper installation requires careful calculation of base course depth, aggregate volume, and reservoir storage capacity to handle your local rainfall patterns and soil conditions.

This Permeable Paver Base Calculator helps contractors, landscapers, civil engineers, and property owners quickly estimate the materials and dimensions needed for a successful permeable paving project. Simply enter your paver area, desired infiltration rate, soil conditions, and rainfall data to receive instant calculations for base depth, aggregate quantities, and storage capacity.
