Darren shows us how easy it is to install the Natural Paving Permeable Pavers.

• Paving is a fundamental aspect of landscaping, providing a clean, safe, and practical way for people and vehicles to navigate gardens and outdoor spaces. A solid and stable pathway helps keep shoes mud-free, enhancing the overall enjoyment of your outdoor areas.
• Traditionally, the choice of paving materials has been limited to poured concrete or paving bricks and slabs. Natural Paving offers a new alternative that combines the beauty of natural stone with a unique honeycomb grid matting, delivering both practicality and aesthetic appeal.
• Natural Paving is designed with environmental sensitivity in mind. This permeable paving system aids in groundwater recharge, reduces surface runoff, and helps to alleviate the strain on urban drainage systems. By retaining water on-site, it contributes to a healthier ecosystem.
• Installing Natural Paving is straightforward and suitable for DIY enthusiasts. Proper preparation is crucial: clear the area of any organic material and tree roots, then compact the ground using a plate compactor or hand tamper. A solid base course is essential for stability, followed by compacting bedding sand for a smooth surface.
• The innovative geotextile layer helps to hold the stones in place while allowing rainwater to permeate into the soil below. It also prevents weeds from pushing through the stones. This matting can be easily cut to shape, offering property owners a wide range of design possibilities for pathways, patios, and driveways.
• Once the Natural Pavers are laid, you can unleash your creativity by selecting your choice of gravel or pebbles. This flexibility allows you to enhance the natural beauty of your garden and add a personal touch to your outdoor spaces. Over time, as the stones settle, they can be topped up to maintain a fresh appearance.
• Maintaining Natural Paving is simple—regular washing is usually all that's needed to keep it looking pristine. The system is not only practical and visually appealing but also represents excellent value for money.
• Natural Paving is suitable for a variety of uses, including driveways, pathways, and patio areas. It is available nationally at Bunnings stores in a selection of two attractive colours, making it easy to begin your Natural Paving project today.
