Tear out your concrete, brick or stone driveway and replace it with one made from permeable pavers. Every driveway in Arizona ought to be made from permeable pavers.
Water that hits a permeable paver can soak into the ground through the porous material it’s made from and through the spaces in between each brick. Enough water is absorbed that it can eliminate water runoff during the monsoon.
Another choice: Driveable grass,pavers designed with holes in each paver to allow water to penetrate right through the middle. You can leave the holes unfilled or fill them with decomposed granite.
With a paver driveway, you’ll help to prevent water from rushing into the street or onto your neighbor’s property.
