Do your part to help the environment by choosing SF-RIMA® Environmental Pavers from Nicolock Paving Stone. Designed to look and feel like natural stone, SF-RIMA paving stones are engineered to allow water to percolate through when it rains. That means that rainwater is returned to the soil and the aquifer rather than running off into storm drains and sewers. Choosing eco-friendly pavers can also help you maximize your property, by creating paved, permeable areas that meet local requirements as well as your own unique needs.
Environmental pavers from Nicolock Paving Stones are designed to improve drainage while enhancing your landscape design. By choosing permeable pavers, you’re not only upgrading your home’s curb appeal—you’re also investing in sustainable infrastructure. A permeable pavers driveway or patio allows rainwater to filter through the surface into the ground, reducing runoff, preventing puddling, and naturally replenishing groundwater.
Unlike traditional pavement, driveway permeable pavers minimize the burden on storm drains, help reduce flooding, and even filter pollutants before they reach the soil. Whether you’re building a permeable paver driveway, a porous paver walkway, or a commercial parking lot with parking pavers, Nicolock delivers eco-friendly solutions that are both functional and attractive.
Permeable pavers, also known as pervious pavers or porous pavers, reduce erosion, improve stormwater management, and provide the strength of a traditional hard surface.
Most permeable concrete pavers are made from materials such as:
This layered design makes permeable pavers for driveways strong enough to handle heavy loads while still letting water infiltrate the soil below.
A permeable paver driveway offers many benefits compared to asphalt or poured concrete:
For homeowners, driveway permeable pavers provide a beautiful, low-maintenance surface that meets municipal requirements for stormwater control while enhancing curb appeal.
