We recently completed a project in East Nashville for a series of brand new townhomes off of Dickerson Pike. In this project, we created stylish, modernistic, even “edgy” paved walking areas and parking spaces for the townhomes. And perhaps best of all, we used permeable pavers, pavers that are specifically designed to let pass water through them and into the aggregate rock layers beneath.

Nashville is experiencing a real estate boom and a strong one at that. With commercial and residential real estate developing at highest evers all across Nashville, this is a change that will have a big effect on the local ecosystem! Primarily, it will affect stormwater runoff, which could lead to flooding. Our landscape design team is dedicated to eco-friendly practices and to conserving the ecosystem around Nashville. With that in mind, we are doing our best to install as many permeable paver parking lots and entryways that we can.
In an effort to not recreate the devastation of the flood of 2010 when the Harpeth River swelled to catastrophic levels, we are trying to change the way that Nashville paves. That’s right, we are trying to change the paving process of an entire city, by getting our permeable paving approach into as many commercial and residential lots as possible. Permeable paved areas allow for stormwater to pass through the paved surface and into the ground below, as opposed to traditional asphalt and concrete which simply directs the water to some other place. The traditional approach is what creates flooding, and that’s what we are trying to change by using permeable systems instead.

In our approach to this project, we used our favorite brand of driveway and parking lot pavers to create a fully finished and functioning commercial driveway and parking lot combo. This installation was done for the new, premier residential townhomes off of Dickerson Pike Rd. in East Nashville, Tennessee.
We work with about half a dozen of the top paving manufacturers and suppliers in the nation. On this particular project, we used Belgard pavers to complete the paving installs, mostly because no paving manufacturer tops Belgard in quality and aesthetic appeal combined. Belgard not only creates aesthetically appealing pavers, but they also have a line of pavers that are best suited for the style and modernistic flair of these new, East Nashville townhome. These were the perfect pavers for tall and skinnies!

We even used our own specialty, machine-install technique, a method we are pioneering in Nashville to create the best-paved, most uniform paver systems possible.
In this approach, we were able to create total uniformity of a one-hundred percent identical nature, paver to paver. This look matches up very well with the modern, industrial appearance of the townhomes themselves.

When we’re walking and driving, we spend a lot of time looking down or in front of us, so why not create paved surfaces that are eco-friendly and nice to look at too?
Some of the characteristics of the newly completed project that make it unique are:[/bunch_landscape_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row container=”1″ css=”.vc_custom_1595870312579{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #f5f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column][bunch_landscape_title sub_title=”This install allowed for immediate stormwater management below the parking lot” title=”A Note on the Importance of Permeability at Townhomes”]As this particular set of townhomes were built on a limited spur of land, there was no room for rainwater gardens or water retention ponds. This created a problem as the property could not handle its own water runoff, something that Nashville building codes demands. To create an environmentally-friendly commercial lot that reduces its own watershed load, we installed appropriate aggregate rock loads, all perfectly compacted beneath the paved surface itself.
This install allowed for immediate stormwater management below the parking lot. Few townhome developments in Nashville have a parking lot system that displaces water through the paved surface and into aggregate rock layers beneath. We are setting the bar here, and we hope that this project is the first of many.[/bunch_landscape_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row container=”1″ css=”.vc_custom_1595870297931{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][bunch_landscape_title sub_title=”Our paving systems are the best eco-friendly approach to paving available” title=”Ready for an Amazing, Aesthetic, and Safe Permeable Paver System?” feature_str=”A machine-install for uniformity in flow, paver to paver.

Our paving systems are the best eco-friendly approach to paving available, and our surfaces are safe to walk on even in a classic, Tennessee, downpour deluge. Tenants will never have to worry about slipping and falling again, which reduces liability hazards for the company that owns the townhomes!
Are you ready to install your own eco-friendly permeable driveway, parking lot, or walking path on your own property?

The permeability of the pavers is a little counterintuitive, as we don’t often think of a solid like concrete or stone as being able to transfer water through itself. So permeable pavers can get a little confusing. And the fact that they are “new tech” often leaves people scratching their heads in wonderment about what will surely be the standard paving systems of tomorrow.
