Paying extra for a permeable driveway doesn't guarantee it'll drain properly 👀
The tarmac lets water through, but if the stone underneath isn't right, that water has nowhere to go. You end up with puddles despite paying for a permeable surface.
The problem is, the top can look perfect, so it's easy to blame the weather rather than what's underneath.
At ACG, we get the groundwork right first. That means using the correct clean stone, compacting it in layers and working out where the water will drain before the tarmac goes down.
It might cost a bit more to do it properly, but there's no point paying for a permeable driveway if it doesn't actually work.
