Every project we take on uses the FilterPave porous pavement system. The application changes — the product and our standards don't.
FilterPave is purpose-built for trail applications in sensitive natural environments. The porous surface allows water to infiltrate at the point of contact — eliminating erosion, protecting root systems, and keeping trails accessible in all conditions. Our on-site batch-and-pour method means we can reach locations where no heavy equipment can follow.
Pervious parking surfaces and hardscape areas manage stormwater at the source — reducing runoff volume, limiting impervious surface calculations, and often eliminating the need for costly detention infrastructure. FilterPave installs over a prepared aggregate base and handles vehicle loads while maintaining full permeability.
Plazas, courtyards, walkways, and public gathering spaces benefit from pervious surfacing in ways conventional pavement can't match — no puddles, no runoff, and a natural aesthetic that fits outdoor environments. FilterPave's texture and color profile blends into natural settings while meeting the durability and accessibility standards required for high-traffic pedestrian use.
When the goal is eliminating runoff — not just slowing it down — FilterPave is the right tool. Water infiltrates directly through the surface into the aggregate base and native soils beneath, recharging groundwater and bypassing storm infrastructure entirely. For projects with strict stormwater compliance requirements, pervious pavement at the surface is the most direct solution available.
We have direct experience working inside national parks under NPS contracts — navigating environmental protection protocols, wildlife restrictions, seasonal work windows, and the documentation requirements that come with federal work. Whether you're a GC looking for a qualified pervious pavement sub or an agency procuring directly, we're familiar with the process and the paperwork.
The FilterPave elastomeric system isn't limited to poured-in-place surfaces. We produce custom form products — square foot pavers, brick pavers, and marine anchors — using the same BASF polyurethane binder and locally sourced aggregate. If you can spec the shape and dimensions, we can produce it.
// FilterPave vs Conventional Pavement
Conventional impermeable pavement sheds water. FilterPave accepts it. In sensitive environments, that's not a minor difference — it's the entire design basis.
| Factor | FilterPave Pervious Pavement | Conventional Asphalt / Concrete |
|---|---|---|
| Stormwater runoff | Eliminated — water infiltrates at surface | 100% runoff — requires detention infrastructure |
| Erosion impact | Minimal — no surface flow, no downstream erosion | High — concentrated runoff accelerates erosion |
| Environmental suitability | NPS-approved for use in national parks and protected lands | Often prohibited in sensitive or protected environments |
| Accessibility | Suitable for accessible trail and pedestrian applications when installed to spec | Meets hard surface accessibility requirements but adds to impervious area |
| Freeze-thaw performance | BASF elastomeric polyurethane binder is stable across wide temperature ranges — installed successfully in Wisconsin, Canada, and high-alpine environments | Susceptible to cracking and heaving over time in freeze-thaw conditions |
| Vegetation & root impact | Water and air exchange maintained — roots not stressed | Impermeable barrier — root stress and mortality common |
| Void space / porosity | Up to 47% sustainable void space (Stone Series) — highest of any porous pavement system tested | Zero — fully impermeable surface |
| Heat island effect | Solar Reflective Index (SRI) of 29 — lighter surface, lower temperature profile, qualifies for LEED credits | Dark surface absorbs and radiates heat — contributes to urban heat island |
| Installation in remote sites | On-site batching — no heavy paving equipment required | Requires paving equipment and truck access |
| Stormwater compliance credits | Qualifies for green infrastructure and MS4 credits | Adds to impervious surface — increases compliance burden |
