Porous Concrete is a Sustainable Alternative to Asphalt
More municipalities are replacing their parking lots with porous concrete, a safe and sustainable alternative to asphalt pavement.
Porous, or pervious, concrete literally absorbs stormwater, eliminating the need for traditional stormwater management devices such as detention ponds, swales, curb and piping.
