Permeable concrete
Permeable concrete lets rainwater drain straight through the slab into the ground beneath instead of running off. We install it for driveways, car parks and paths where stormwater rules, tree roots or drainage make a standard slab impractical.
Based in Keilor East, Melbourne. Working across metropolitan and regional Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.

Questions we get asked
Does permeable concrete clog?
It can over years if fine material washes onto it. Occasional pressure washing or vacuum sweeping keeps it draining. We explain this at handover.
Is it as strong as normal concrete?
It's designed for lighter loads: cars, paths and light vehicles. For heavy traffic we'd recommend a standard slab with separate drainage.
