- RainPave clay brick pavers from Pine Hall Brick enable stormwater to filter into the soil instead of draining into streams and rivers. The company says the permeable pavers satisfy state and local stormwater management requirements and are easier to install than some competing products, because their sizes vary only slightly. The pavers also feature the same color throughout, so they won't fade, and reportedly will last more than a century once in place. 800.334.8689.

Permeable Pavers- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/12/2009)
- The company's permeable pavers are made of concrete and separated by joints filled with small stones. Water enters the joints between the pavers and filters through crushed stone layers; the water, minus the filtered-out pollutants, is absorbed into the soil. The pavers can be used for patios, driveways, walkways, pools, and other areas. The manufacturer says its pavers, including Subterra stone (pictured), allow for modular and random installation to create random patterns that look like natural cobblestones. The product comes in multiple shapes, colors, and patterns. 800-899-8455.
