Install Permeable pavers Calgary (concrete pavers, patio pavers, interlocking paving stones, walkway stepping stones, concrete slabs)164 large

Permeable pavers are solid individual units typically made of pre-cast concrete, brick, stone or cobbles. The paving stones are set with gaps between stones which allow water to flow between them and into the drainage layers and soil below.
The paver itself is not actually permeable, it's the space between each paver joint that allows the water to flow through to the ground.
Depending on how much precipitation the paver area sees, you may or may not need additional drainage built in, under the paver. In most areas, the permeable nature of the installation can accommodate runoff and the water will return immediately to the natural water table.

Hint: Yard Drainage Calgary 
If you have an area that has a lot of runoff, an under drain is recommended to add on. It’s an environmentally conscious way to have a patio, walkway, driveway, or other hard surface without having to redirect water from roof runoff into storm drains.
Calgary Permeable Pavement can be used for:
  • Walkways
  • Patios
  • Parking Lots
  • Alleyways
  • Sidewalks
  • Driveways

Why use Permeable Pavers in Calgary? 

Because it’s great for the environment! Outdoor hard surfaces like tradition patios or driveways redirect roof runoff and other water to storm drains. With permeable pavers ( interlocking paving stones), the water is filtered and returns to recharge the groundwater right in your backyard.
When you install permeable pavers, you allow water to seep into the ground to replenish the aquifer and prevent flooding or pooling. This will result in a surface that will dry quicker after rain or snow, less ice build-up in winter (especially if the sun hits that part of the patio or walkway), better soil stability on your property, less erosion damage to downhill landscaping, and less strain on Calgary stormwater systems.

Benefits to the Community ( Calgary)

  • Allowing ground water levels to be replenished
  • Reducing peak runoff periods which can minimize local flooding
  • Reducing the total volume of stormwater runoff from a catchment area which reduces the potential for erosion of our riverbanks
  • Filtering pollutants through the rock drainage layers and the subsoils below. Research on permeable pavement shows they are effective in removing pollutants such as total suspended solids, heavy metals, oil and grease.

WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE PATIO/ WALKWAY/ SIDEWALK OR DRIVEWAY DRAINAGE SOLUTION?

If you're interested in sustainable gardening, the good news is you don't have to let all that rainwater go to waste. 
You can collect and reuse the water, which not only will reduce the risk of flooding but will also save money on metered water supplies.
This technique known as rainwater harvesting provides non-drinkable water for garden irrigation, tree watering.
A rainwater harvesting system uses hard and soft surfaces to collect rainwater from your driveway – and your roof or patio, too – filters out leaves and debris, then diverted through trenches/ French drains to the desired garden location or tree bed. either the runoff from the patio, driveway gets diverted or through the permeable pavers bedding gravel and drainage system in the base.

Install Low-voltage LED Landscape Lighting Calgary

Calgary Landscape lighting is a stunning blend of function and beauty, along with the eco-friendliness of long-lasting LED bulbs and customizable lighting that prevents excessive glare or illumination while still providing safety and security.

Many LED light fixtures are easily hidden in the landscaping for a beautiful unobtrusive look during the day. At night, you can choose from a variety of artistic lighting techniques, including moonlighting, spotlighting, silhouetting, or washing that highlight special features and textures in your nighttime landscape. 

Modern landscape lighting in Calgary is also designed according to zones - providing more lighting in high-activity zones such as the outdoor kitchen and more subtle lighting in relaxed zones such as a firepit area. 

The beauty of this approach is that the qualities that make nighttime magical, are preserved, which helps to lessen the impact on nocturnal wildlife while keeping your Calgary landscape safe and secure.

Less Lawn, More Xeriscaping Calgary
Lawns are also disproportionately thirsty, relatively fragile (especially if non-native grasses are chosen), and require a lot of upkeep (including gas or electricity for mowers). Replacing a lawn with Calgary xeriscape areas will save water, free up a significant amount of your time (or your landscaping budget), provide habitat for local wildlife, and still be very attractive.

Take it a step further and xeriscape with native plants.

You may have heard the term xeriscaping and thought, “I don’t want a yard filled with rocks and boulders.” Calgary Xeriscaping is actually much more sophisticated than that!

Calgary Xeriscaping is a landscaping practice focused on surviving drought. Even in the relatively rainy seasons in Calgary, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t think about drought - it’s also about reducing the need for supplemental watering and not worrying about plants in an exceptionally hot and dry summer in Calgary. If nothing else, you’ll save money on your water bills.

Hint: One simple way to embrace xeriscaping is to group plants by water requirements. Most people already group plants by light requirements, but considering water-groupings will help reduce water use even more - and it will simplify your maintenance chores too.

Choosing native plants (and grouping them by water needs as well as light needs) is another way to maintain an attractive landscape while being eco-conscious. Native trees and plants are perfectly acclimated to the local rainfall and weather patterns and this makes them exceptionally hardy and low-maintenance. Natives rarely need supplemental watering, fertilizer, or pesticides.

Install a Professional Irrigation System
Install a professional irrigation system if you want to have some lawn on your property or if you want worry-free and eco-friendly irrigation of trees, shrubs, and flower beds. Manual watering with a hose or sprinkler wastes a lot of water; and, a smart irrigation system that tracks rainfall eliminates the need to manually track a time and application rate. 
In addition, drip irrigation systems are more efficient at keeping young plants hydrated while they develop deep and drought-tolerant root systems should work best for garden beds. Drip irrigation also saves water by targeting the root systems rather than rocks, walkways, driveways.

Cultivation form a useful part for your garden to enjoy the fruits (and vegetables and herbs). Food production should be seen as a basis for your healthy eating, kitchen-table, life-style and cost saving.
GOURMET GARDENS Kitchen gardens can be hugely beneficial for your Calgary ECOSYSTEM, nutritional health, your children can learn and reducing the cost of meals. Trees can provide fruit at break times and seasonal vegetables can supplement meals, with any surplus providing can be shared to Calgary community neighbors and friends.

Be Strategic About Planting

Plant deciduous trees on the south and west sides of your home to provide cooling shade in summer and increase your home’s warmth in winter. Plant dense evergreen trees such as spruces on the north side to help block cold winter winds.

Remember to group plants by water needs as well as sun needs to achieve a beautiful but low-maintenance landscape.

WHAT LOCALS ARE SAYING

Client Testimonies

I had this company re do landscaping for my house, and fix the water drainage issue in my back yard. The leader Mr Nasar, who designed and came out the idea how to fix water drainage issue, is very professional and knowledgeable. His workers are hard working provided excellent services. They always come on time, and work late if necessary in order to catch up the progress. They would always accommodate our requests, trying to make us happy. The project was done in late 2020, this year everything looks perfect. I highly recommend this company, and Nasar, Jamal. If I would have another job, for sure will hire them again.
