What we do on a permeable tarmac driveway

Open-graded porous asphalt on a deep permeable stone base, so rain soaks through on site.

  • Dig out deeper than a standard drive to fit the storage layer
  • Open-graded permeable sub-base, often Type 3 or 4/20 stone
  • Porous asphalt binder and surface courses
  • Overflow to a soakaway or border on slow-draining ground
  • Edge restraint that does not block the flow
