Permeable pavers #hardscape

What happens here

The camera shifts perspective to an under-view of the permeable paver system. From this angle, individual drops and small streams of water are clearly visible draining from the bottom layers of the paver installation directly onto the ground below. This visually confirms that the water applied to the surface has successfully infiltrated through the entire system and is being returned to the underlying soil or groundwater system, demonstrating true permeability.

Goal: Visually confirm water passing through the entire permeable system.
