Why the gradation matters
Permeable pavers only work if water can get through the joints and the bedding and into the base below. Aqua Rock is sieved to ASTM No. 9 (3/8 inch down to a No. 50 fraction) so it stays open, drains at a high rate for years and still locks the pavers in place. It helps prevent erosion and reduces the storm water rate off the surface.
- Graded to ASTM No. 9. 3/8 in 100 percent passing; No. 4 85 to 100; No. 8 10 to 40; No. 16 0 to 10; No. 50 0 to 5.
- Bedding course. Spread 2 inches (50 mm) over the base course, screeded to plus or minus 3/8 inch over 10 feet.
- Jointing material. Calibrated for the majority of permeable pavers.
- Keep it clean. No mud or sediment on the base or bedding; contaminated material must be replaced.
- No traffic before paving. Do not walk or drive on the screeded bedding before the pavers go down.
- Sub-grade slope. Minimum 0.5 percent, per the drainage design.
Best for
- Permeable paver driveways and parking areas
- Patios and walkways built to drain
- Drainage applications
- Bedding and jointing in one material
Good to know
Drain pipes, observation wells and any liner or geotextile go in before or during the base per the drawings, and must not be damaged during compaction. A 50 lb bag is for joints and small repairs; for a full bedding course, ask about bulk quantities.
