Are Brick Pavers Permeable?

Fortunately, there are permeable pavers. This type of paver is made of bricks or stones and can be installed almost anywhere. They're permeable because they allow for better drainage.

Are pavers considered permeable?

The standard interlocking paving stone is not permeable, which means it does not drain water. While regular pavers are designed to be flexible, they are not meant to be permeable.

Do pavers let water through?

Pavers are permeable and are laid with small spaces in between them. These features allow water to run through them and back into the ground below instead of sitting on top, like it would with asphalt or concrete.
