One of many ways that we protect our water at UHC is by using pervious concrete! This is a porous concrete made of large pieces, allowing for water infiltration. This is exciting because it..

-recharges ground water
-reduces flooding
-reduces surface temperatures
-protects watersheds from pollution runoff
-filters stormwater

We use pervious concrete for paths through our gardens, but it can be used for all paved surfaces except for those with very heavy vehicle traffic. Consider it for your next outdoor renovation project!

Winter is almost over. Your project is about to start. We’re ready to help!
