What is included in a permeable tarmac driveway?

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

  • Ground check: how fast does the soil drain?
  • Dig out deeper than a standard drive to fit the storage layer
  • Geotextile separating layer on the formation
  • Open-graded permeable sub-base, often Type 3 or 4/20 stone
  • Overflow to a soakaway or border on slow-draining ground
