Good morning,

Our driveway is approximately 10 x 5 meters (33 x 16 feet) in size. According to the development plan, we have to use permeable paving, such as drainage or eco-pavers.

We were advised to slightly slope the entire surface and to install a channel drain at one corner.

Is something like this really necessary with drainage paving? I have never consciously seen this and can't quite imagine it.

Best regards,
Katrin

The discharge towards the street is not permitted and is at least controlled here in the region by the building regulations office.
Hello

Okay, if they arrive with a spirit level it will be more difficult. In that case, only infiltration is an option. A large hole in the garden with three 120mm (4.7 inch) drainage pipes positioned vertically into the ground. PVC sewer pipes from the drain channel to the infiltration area. That should be sufficient.

I don’t want to cause alarm. However, I had this experience last year in person with a 2.1 m² (23 sq ft) walkway paved with small cobblestones! I slightly raised the middle of the path so the water drains off to the right and left. That was enough.

On topic:
What do you use to prevent ice in winter? According to the manufacturer, salt is not allowed on permeable paving.
Do you use regular grit or something else? Has anyone ever used lime granules?

Just out of curiosity, since this apparently isn't known to the neighbor (not to mention that it’s prohibited here anyway): What could actually happen?

You should not use salt because it damages the soil.
Permeable paving = salt in the soil.

Salt in the soil = Less weed in the joints
