How to Install Permeable Pavers

In this video tutorial, we're going to show you how we installed permeable pavers at ideabox® in Salem, Oregon, in the form of a stone parking lot extension.

Great info! a couple questions: what rock do you prefer to fill joints? The #10 1/4" crushed, open fine?

Thought on permeable pavers and basement water intrusion?

after you have put the cement in for the edges, do you NOT compact the edges?

I have a question, I have about 300sq foot hole in my back yard that is 5ft deep. My back yard is pure sand, so it has great drainage. Instead of making a sunken patio I would like to make a flat permeable patio that is even with the lawn. Should I add sand back into the hole until I have a hole that is only 1ft deep or should I be adding gravel to the hole? Since sand doesn’t really compact I’m afraid the patio will become uneven after a few years. Any info would be great.

I have a 160 sq. Ft. Area between the house and garage I wanted to put regular pavers on. The problem is that the pavers would be lower than the land that I would be sloping towards. That’s why water pools up in this area that I want to put pavers in. Would permeable pavers work for me and keep water from sitting against the house and getting into my basement? I’m not having seeping in my basement now even though water is pooled up against it some.
