What types of paving allow water to pass through?
There are various types of permeable paving that help rainwater to infiltrate the soil easily. This helps reduce the risk of flooding during heavy downpours, and prevents large puddles forming in the garden because water immediately infiltrates the paving. Obvious examples include grass pavers and permeable paving, but you could also consider bricks/tiles with water-permeable joints that allow water to pass through. Rainwater can also easily penetrate the soil through gravel or grit. If water is a serious problem in your garden, consider additional measures such as drainage. Link to: Drainage
