All Strol permeable paving systems are designed with DIY installation in mind. Smaller residential projects can often be completed over a weekend using our installation guides and CalcuPave planning tool. For larger projects or more complex sites, a professional installer may be the best option.

Both have their place, but permeable paving offers benefits that traditional concrete can't. It allows surface water to drain naturally back into the ground, helping reduce runoff while creating a durable, attractive surface. It can also reduce the need for additional drainage in many projects, making it a smart long-term solution for homes and landscapes.
