Municipal permeable paving solutions for greener, resilient sidewalks, bike lanes, boulevards, and tree surrounds

Permeable tree surrounds offer a multitude of benefits that can significantly enhance the overall well-being of the municipality and its inhabitants.

Permeable tree surrounds act as natural stormwater management systems, allowing rainwater to infiltrate the soil rather than running off hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. By absorbing and storing rainwater, these surroundings reduce the strain on stormwater drainage systems and alleviate the risk of local flooding during heavy rain events. They can also be easily cut as the tree grows larger!
Urban trees often suffer from inadequate drainage and compacted soil, hindering their growth and longevity. Permeable tree surrounds offer a healthier environment for tree roots, enabling proper aeration, water penetration, and nutrient circulation.
Climate Resilience– These surrounds contribute to mitigating the urban heat island effect, regulating temperatures, and preserving microclimates, making the municipality more resilient to heatwaves and temperature fluctuations.
While permeable tree surrounds may require an initial investment similar to asphalt or concrete, they offer long-term cost savings for the municipality.

By naturally capturing and filtering rainwater, permeable sidewalks and bike lanes help to manage stormwater effectively, mitigating flood risks and improving water
quality.
Permeable pavement provides superior traction, reducing the risk of accidents caused by slipping, especially during cold weather. The porous nature of these surfaces allow water to drain quickly, minimizing the formation of puddles and
ice patches, which can be hazardous for pedestrians and cyclists in Canada.
By opting for eco-friendly solutions, the municipality can reduce its carbon
footprint, conserve natural resources, and promote responsible infrastructurepractices.
Permeable sidewalks and bike lanes provide safe, comfortable, and accessible routes for pedestrians and cyclists, encouraging more people to choose active modes of transportation.
Providing an Eco-friendly solution for tough drainage applications like boulevards. Incorporating permeable boulevards can be a strategic and impactful choice for Canadian municipalities.
Permeable boulevards act as natural stormwater management tools, allowing rainwater and snowmelt to infiltrate the soil rather than overwhelming drainage systems.
Permeable boulevards are designed to minimize freeze-thaw damage by allowing water to drain and preventing ice buildup. This durability ensures that the boulevards remain functional and aesthetically pleasing year-round.
Permeable boulevards can incorporate native plants, creating green corridors that support local biodiversity and provide habitats for pollinators and wildlife.
Well-designed permeable boulevards can significantly enhance the visual appeal of streetscapes and public spaces.
Independent testing confirms that Stormflow Surfacing allows up to 5,800 gallons of water per hour per sq. ft. to drain directly through its surface, permeate down into a compacted aggregate base, then slowly filter into the ground. Learn More
Opting for permeable pavement in drainage strips offers municipalities an effective solution to address stormwater management, environmental stewardship, and urban development challenges specific to the regions.

Permeable pavement in drainage strips efficiently captures and directs stormwater into the ground, reducing surface runoff.
Permeable pavement acts as a natural filtration system, removing some pollutants and contaminants from stormwater as it percolates through the pavement layers.
Permeable pavement aids climate adaptation by reducing the urban heat island effect and promoting efficient stormwater management.
Drainage strips with permeable pavement help prevent soil erosion by stabilizing the ground and controlling the flow of water.

Have questions about Stormflow Surfacing?
Stormflow Surfacing can be installed anywhere that traditional hardscape surfaces can be installed. The advantage to Stormflow can be installed up to 33% degrees of slope. Due to the product being moisture cured, it needs to be installed between 10-32 degrees C with no rain in the forecast.
Stormflow helps to alleviate stormwater issues. Water doesn't pool and puddle on the surface like it does on concrete and asphalt (this also means so ice in the winter). The product also is made from recycled materials, for every 1000 square feet of Stormflow poured we repurpose 300 tires.
Stormflow can be shovelled and maintained just like any other surface in the winter (shovel, snow blower or plow). You will also find that you can reduce salt use as water runs through instead of having ice on the surface. We recommend back dragging when using a snowplow. Another main advantage of Stormflow in the winter is our product doesn't crack, due to the base and the rubber used in the surface. It acts like one big expansion joint, allowing the surface to look great year after year.
Stormflow is porous, which means water flows through the surface back into the water table. This helps cities deal with undersized storm drains during large rain events.
