This is a new topic that is really making an impact on people's wallets and the environment. The concept is not a new one but has not been used very extensively. A sustainable property is one that has a minimal environmental footprint. How is this accomplished? There are several innovative ways to make your yard more sustainable; rain gardens, less grass, less irrigation, permeable surfaces, white roofs and green roofs.

Rain Gardens utilize the water run-off from your roof and other places in your property to centralize the water to a garden. The garden is composed of native plant material, a dry creek bed and drainage. This is a great way to take your water runoff and keep it on your property to be used in a positive way as opposed to sending it off to the city storm water management system and further contaminating our natural resources.

Permeable pavers can also help with the problem by allowing the water to flow back into the ground and recharging the ground water. Permeable pavers are installed in a specific way to allow the water to flow freely between the pavers and through the base material. This will filter the water and allow it to enter the ground without creating more run-off into the sewer system.

By using the techniques you are minimizing the need for irrigation therefor not making an impact on our natural resources.

White and green roofs also assist in reflecting the suns heat as opposed to absorbing it. By reflecting the heat we are cooling the area and at the same time reducing our own energy costs.

This Permeable Paver Driveway has been installed with a Combination of Belgard Urbana and Mega Bergerac Pavers. It allows water to flow freely through the gaps filtering storm water, recharging the ground water, and minimizing your environmental footprint.
