Pave the Way to a Greener World
Our driveways and sidewalks welcome people to our homes.  What better place to use a beautiful, eco-friendly product?  You can enhance your home's curb appeal while showing everyone how beautiful being "green" can be.  

Traditional concrete driveways and sidewalks can crack over time due to temperature changes and settling.  Interlocking impervious pavers offer an architecturally pleasing alternative that is versatile and environmentally responsible.  Eco-friendly pavers come in a variety of colors, patterns and shapes so you can turn your landscape into a work of art.  

What Makes It Green?
These permeable pavers allow the rainwater through, so it can be captured in a rain harvesting system.  You can use the water collected to water your landscape, run a circulating water feature or wash your car.  Rainwater harvesting is more than just about preserving a scarce resource.  How this collected water makes the earth "greener" is perhaps best explained by H2ouse.org - "Water conservation reduces water demand, which allows rivers and streams to maintain adequate water levels and flow. This helps to sustain healthy aquatic ecosystems."    

Not only is the collection of rainwater good for the earth, it's also good for your wallet.  It reduces your home water bill and your demands on your municipal systems.

What You Can Do

The average household spends as much as $500 per year on its water and sewer bill.

Our Venetian Pavestone pavers (www.pavestone.com) make the driveway a stunning welcome to the house.  They are installed with gravel and the water that filters through them is collected in a rainwater harvesting system called The RainXChange by Aquascape (www.rainxchange.com).  Find a retailer that carries them near you - Pavestone has a retailer locator on their website.  We got ours from Stone Forest (www.stoneforest.biz).
