Do you deal with excessive runoff after a heavy rain? Are you looking for a more sustainable option for your driveway? Or do you simply want a unique, attractive driveway pavement option that is easy to maintain? Whatever your goals, consider using our DrenaPave™ and DrenaMontage™ specially-designed permeable concrete paving stones to mitigate storm water runoff.

Our DrenaPave™ or DrenaMontage™ permeable concrete pavement systems provide stormwater management right in your driveway. The pavers naturally filter out harmful pollutants such as oil and nitrates, reducing harmful runoff and improving overall water quality. In addition, rain is absorbed through the interlocking stones, which minimizes spot flooding and prevents water from running off into ditches and drains.

The best part? Our permeable systems have the same strength and durability as traditional interlocking concrete pavers, and maintenance is simple.

We’re sharing a few of our favorite DrenaPave™ and DrenaMontage™ driveway ideas below. Visit our product galleries for more!

Sustainability is no longer simply a buzzword – it’s become a way of life. Homeowners and designers alike are incorporating sustainability into all parts of a home, including the lawn, garden and patio.

We’re big fans of sustainability at Borgert Products, so we wanted to share a few tips on making your outdoor space more eco-friendly, courtesy of Gardenista.

Install Permeable Pavers

Sustainability begins with the surface of your patio. Permeable pavement systems minimize harmful rainwater runoff, instead allowing water to slowly seep into the ground. This provides natural filtration of pollutants, helps water to cool, and provides a slower flow into drainage systems and bodies of water. Borgert Products’ permeable pavement systems are strong and durable, with minimal maintenance required. Contact us to learn more!

Consider Grass Alternatives

Grass can look and feel lovely, but it takes a lot of water to maintain a lush, green lawn. One alternative is planting ground cover, like sheet moss, in shadier areas – it’s a cost-effective alternative that requires minimal maintenance. Another idea is to forgo turf entirely with a wild meadow of native wildflowers, which – bonus! – will attract birds and bees.

Be a Friend to Pollinators

If you’re not ready to turn your lawn into a meadow, consider converting even a few feet into a pollinator-friendly garden. Plant wildflowers and pollinator-friendly plants, such as bee balm, salvia, snapdragons, black-eyed Susans, sunflowers and many more. In addition, avoid using harsh pesticides on your lawn and garden, opting instead for pollinator-safe alternatives.

Collect and Save Water

Rain barrels require an upfront investment, but they can save a lot of money – not to mention water – in the long run. In addition, consider an irrigation system, which deliver water straight to plant roots in a slow drip, avoiding water waste.

Permeable pavements are a great choice for driveways, walkways and patios – for several reasons. The pavements will act as a stormwater management solution, reducing harmful runoff and naturally filtering out pollutants like oil, grease, phosphates and nitrates. Permeable pavements are durable and strong. They don’t frost, heave or crack, and prevent ice from forming.

Our DrenaPave™ and DrenaMontage™ permeable pavement systems are perfectly designed for driveways, as well as walkways and patios. Available in three colors and ADA compliant, they’re an excellent choice for any driveway project. Here are some of our favorite driveway looks to get you started!

Add contrast and visual interest to your driveway with radial accents. The DrenaPave™ and DrenaMontage™ Permeable Pavements allow for easy customization, so you can achieve the design and look you want!

Contrasting Colors

Mix sizes and colors for a unique and memorable look. This is the Minnesota River blend of three colors, which is the only permeable random pattern in this market. There are three size options – 6×6, 6×12 and 12×12.

Perfect Choice for Big Projects

Got a big driveway, patio or walkway? The DrenaPave™ and DrenaMontage™ Permeable Pavements are an affordable and cost-effective option for large-scale projects.

Extend the Look Past the Driveway

Our permeable pavements are perfect for more than just driveways! Create a streamlined look throughout the exterior of your home and business by installing DrenaPave™ and DrenaMontage™ in your walkway, patio and even the parking lot! Mix and match colors and sizes for a custom yet cohesive look.
