Good for the Environment
Federal, state, and local regulation sites have tried to reduce runoff that comes from roofs and pavements. Too much water flow can impact the environment in a significant way. Flooding can occur as well as pollution due to debris ending up in lakes and rivers. A PICP helps patios, walkways, and driveways infiltrate stormwater and reduce erosion and pollutants. We also offer drainage services if that’s what you need.
Endurance
Compressed concrete comprises a PICP. PICP’s resist scrapes, marks, freeze-thaw damage, and aren’t highly susceptible to salt degradation. Not only won’t you have to worry about footmarks and outside elements damaging your PICP but during a winter storm, salt won’t affect its appearance. PICP’s can last between 20-25 years!
Appearance
PICP’s are versatile and come in many different shapes, styles, patterns, textures, and colors. Each home varies in architectural layout and calls for unique, landscaping needs. Enhancing not only the look but feel of your home is simple with PICP’S.
Easy Maintenance
You’ll save money because it doesn’t cost a lot to replace a permeable interlocking concrete pavement. Since the compressed is very durable, you won’t have to repair this kind of paver constantly. However, if you must, it’s quite easy to replace because individual pavers can be removed or replaced. Without the need of installing a retention dam, you can save money as well as save money on water expenses. To clean a commercial PICP, all you need to do is make sure that you vacuum the joints as necessary due to grass and leaf buildup For residential use, a leaf blower suffices.
