"I cannot recommend Joe and his crew more. They installed turf in our front yard. Also I wanted to break up the large grassy area so I had them put in a pygmy palm. They added pavers around the palm as well as the outline of the turf and a drip system to water the palm. I gave them a five-star rating but if I could, I would make it a 10! My husband and I searched through dozens of samples of turf and installers before we met Joe. We also looked at dozens of properties with turf installed but we were never happy with their installation because you could usually see seams and the turf looked fake. Then we met Joe. From start to finish he and his crew were awesome! Total professional, communicative, responsive, and diligent. The project started and finished on time. We used to hate looking at our front yard, now we stare at it! You cannot go wrong if you use Joe!"

"INSTALL-IT-DIRECT prides themselves with the quality of their work and they made us happy and very satisfied with the outcome. We had a great experience working with this company. They completely redid our backyard and front side yard. Steve Brown designed a project that transformed this old water guzzling property into a beautiful drought resistant oasis. Steve's vision made it possible. His organization and caring made us feel confident that we made the right decision. The work was completed fast and efficiently and within budget by Patrick Diehl and his friendly energetic crew. They made it all happen. They redid the landscape, installed paver stones, drainage, flower beds, raised beds, lighting, drip irrigation and a small drought resistant Dymondia Margaretae lawn. We needed and received frequent and effective communication throughout the process. This gave us confidence in the outcome. The new yard is awesome. We love it!"

FAQs for interlocking pavers for driveways & floors installation projects in San Marcos, CA
With proper maintenance, permeable pavement can last for over 20 years. Bi-annual vacuuming prevents clogs from debris and sediment, extends the pavement’s lifespan, and helps you avoid costly driveway repairs. Permeable pavement often has a shorter lifespan in areas with heavy traffic or harsh weather conditions.
Pervious and porous usually refer to pouring asphalt or concrete—which is a single massive object—but with enough small holes to allow for even drainage. This is also sometimes called thirsty concrete. Permeable concrete pavers are precast concrete designed to also allow for drainage. Permeable grass pavers allow grass to grow through them and provide drainage.
Pervious, porous, and permeable pavers are similar because they make it easier for rain or snow to drain or absorb into the ground rather than overload the storm or sewer systems.
The most significant benefit of water-permeable pavement is that it helps precipitation absorb better (and slower) into the ground, which avoids overloading sewers and causing overflows and backups. It also helps recharge the groundwater and prevent agricultural runoff from lawns.
If you’ve ever seen water rushing into a storm drain, permeable pavement prevents that. Instead of water running off a steep driveway, a good amount of it “soaks” directly underneath the pavement.
Topmix permeable concrete costs $8 to $16 per square foot, including all installation costs. However, they give out estimates on a project-by-project basis. However, Tarmac, the company that made the product, no longer produces Topmix.
Ecoraster is a brand that offers many different permeable paving options in North America. Prices vary depending on the product and project. They’ll give estimates for each individual project. While not actual pavers, these grids serve a similar function. Ecoraster grids come in various styles and allow for similar drainage compared to permeable pavers or porous paving.
Permeable driveways may cost slightly more than a traditional paving type, but they reduce or eliminate the need to install any other type of drainage system. Drainage systems cost$2,000 to $6,500 to install. They also reduce stormwater runoff, sewer overflows, and help eliminate urban agriculture runoff, which can pollute waterways.
