Down to Earth Collection Lowcountry Paver is the Southeast Manufacturer of the highest quality concrete pavers, permeable pavers, thin pavers, pool coping and retaining wall. Lowcountry Paver offers the best product and warranty available. The pavers are created with granite aggregate, a material that will hold up over time. The high cement ratio and secret formula of add mixtures helps to create a paver that can often exceed 10,000 psi. Strength, aesthetics and quality are only achieved when the best materials are used.

As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States.

Installation of permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICPs) help to eliminate detention ponds. This elimination results in less cleared land, more natural surroundings, less stormwater runoff and decreased pollution.

For those that are required or prefer to use more enviromentally friendly surfaces, we recommend our “Down to Earth Collection.”

What is the difference between Permeable & Pervious? Permeable Pavers all stormwater to flow between the product. This is acheived by strategically designing voids in products which allows the water to flow. Pervious pavers allow the watter to flow through the pro-ducts, such as our H2flo. The use of these products can in many cases significantly, if not completely, reduce or eliminate the need for storm sewer infastructure on building sites. It can increse the size of “usable” land on your valuable property!

The effects of sustainable building practices on a society include a greater sense of community, increased aesthetics, more educational opportunities, increased environmental quality, plus lower long-term costs and energy use.

Lowcounty Pavers used in many beautiful municipal projects directly add to community pride. In addition, sustainable building practices can contribute to pride in community resulting in increases in “green” behaviors such as recycling or use of more energy efficient technologies.

A WaterShed Permeable Paver has been described as America’s Most Beautiful Paver.

The Perma-Flow Cobble was specifically designed to eliminate the tripping hazards presented by many, if not most, permeable pavers. In order for a paver to be considered permeable, it must have a gap to allow water to pass between the stones. Better yet, the Perma-Flow Cobble also has a completely smooth surface which is perfect for wheelchairs and high pedestrian commercial and municipal traffic areas such as sidewalks, courtyards and plazas. The Perma-Flow Cobble is also guaranteed for light vehicular applications such as reisidential driveways.

Why Permeable?The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System in the U.S. for permitting stormwater discharges recognizes the viability of using Permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) as a best management practice (BMP)for stormwater control. Permeable pavements are recognized as a BMP by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and many provincial, state and local stormwater management agencies. In addition, rating systems for “green” or sustainable building such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) and GreenGlobes offer credit to site designs that use PICP. Moreover, PICP has become a cornerstone of low impact development (LID) design. and regulations. An LID goal is to maintain and enhance the predevelopment hydrologic regime of urban and developing watersheds.

All PICP’s have a high initial surface infiltration rates and all can immediately infiltrate and store rainfall and runoff from the heaviest of rainstorms. In many cases, runoff is completely eliminated. Permeable pavements rely on the ability of opengraded aggregate in their surfaces and base to receive, store and infiltrate runoff back into the soil beneath. Porousasphalt and pervious concrete with smaller sized open-graded aggregate surfaces support wheel loads while larger aggregate provides a structural base and reservoir that filters stormwater.

Permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) has been used in Germany and elsewhere in Europe since the late 1980s and in North America since 1992.

PICP was first used in Florida in the early 1970s and porous asphalt emerged at the same time. Each of the pavement systems has been used in a variety of soils and climates.

Lowcountry Paver Certified Installer An LPCI is an installer with a proven track record an has met all of our criteria required to be deemed the best in the industry.

By using a LPCI contractor, you know you are getting an honest, reputable, and highly-qualified contractor that is backed by the manufacturer!.

AdvantagesPICP relies on solid, high-strength concrete units to support traffic surrounded by small, highly pervious stone-filled joints to receive and infiltrate stormwater. The stonefilled joints also contribute to interlocking and spreading wheel loads.

Depending on the paving unit designand pattern, PICP joints can varybetween 1/8 and 1/2 in. (3 and 13 mm).Small-sized aggregate in the joints thatallow water to pass through it can besomewhat deceptive. While PICP hasless visible permeable surface areathan porous asphalt or pervious concrete, PICP openings still provide high surface infiltration rates. These rates are well above practically all rainfall intensities, making their hydrological performance equal to or better than other permeable surfaces. The small aggregate in the joints and bedding also facilitates interlock and load transfer to neighboring pavers. Unlike standard interlocking concrete pavement, no sand is used in PICP joints or bedding since it has very low permeability.

Did you know? PICP can extend tree life by sending air and water to the roots.

PICP units are manufacturedin a factory and delivered to thesite. They are not subject to time and temperature limitations in installation. Lowcountry Paver PICP paving units complywith national product standards (ASTM C 936 or CSA A231.2). These product standards require the manufacture of high compressive strength concreteaveraging 8,000 psi (55 MPa). Concrete pavers have freeze-thaw durability test methods and requirements within their

product standards to help assureadequate field performance in winter conditions. Freeze-thaw durability and higher strength PICP offers a more durablesurface under wheel loads, snow plow abrasion and deicing materials. Because PICP is ready to install, there is no curing time making it ready for traffic when placed.

PICP presents a much friendlier, human-scale appearance. It comes in a variety of colors and

textures to fit any architecture and building character.Because they are monolithic materials,porous asphalt and pervious concrete provide a narrow range of colors andtextures. In most cases, they appear similar to conventional concrete and asphalt but with a coarser texture. In contrast, PICP makes a visually strong statement about where stormwater is going and the sustainable nature ofthe site in which it is placed.

Materials & Installation

General MaintenanceReplenish aggregate in joints/voids as needed. Use correct size stone‐sand to sweep into cleaned openings.

Remove or spray weeds that grow in pavement openings with a biodegradable herbicide.

Maintain groundcover around the perimeter of the pavement to filter run‐off overflow and reduce sediment running onto the pavement.

If overflow openings in curbing are present, keep clean of debris.

Visually inspect pavement once a quarter and within 24 hours after storm events greater than 1.0 inch in a 24 hour period. Check outflow from observation well if installed. Retain records of inspection and maintenance.

Repair ruts or deformations exceeding ½”.

Remove & replace broken pavers that compromise structural integrity of surface.

Cleaning Keep pavement clean of leaves and debris.

Sweep on routine basis. Perform in dry weather to remove encrusted sediment.

Sweeper types:Conventional broom sweeperAcceptable for removing crust when joints/apertures are accessible to brushes

Regenerative air sweepersBetter option for maintaining permeable pavements

Pure vacuum machinesBest for restoration if clogged

Do NOT pressure wash pavement as water jet can drive residue into the setting bed and base below.

We recommend the following for routine cleaning, snow removal and general maintenance.

Maintenance& Cleaning

Snow RemovalRemove snow promptly with conventional snow removal equipment. (Blade height adjustment typically not required.)

Use sand and deicing chemicals sparingly. Unlike impervious surfaces where puddles re‐freeze at night, melt water from snow and ice drains into the openings, reducing slip and skid hazards.
