There is a house with a permeable driveway about half a mile down the road from me. I guess it's about eight years now and there are ruts in it. The shiny gravel is still mostly there, but the gravel has spread out a bit in all directions especially towards the street. Theirs is permeable because it had washed aggregate where the fines were removed. Some weeds can grow on it as winds, tree sap, cottonwood, pollen, mold, etc over the years have deposited enough material to allow weeds to grow in it. The house is on its 2nd owner and they pulled the weeds as it recently looked clear of any growth. But it does rut but certainly far far less than simply pouring gravel over dirt.

They installed this system at a new building for my company. It was like driving through slush, threw up rocks that broke windows, and the plastic grid started to come up out of the rocks after only a few weeks. In less than a year it was completely ripped out and replaced with concrete. EDIT: For everyone saying that we drove on it wrong, or went too fast, or there was too much traffic. The only way into the area was through a security gate that you needed a code for. We moved into the offices in August 2022, but the building was not yet open to the public. (As of this writing: January 2024, it still isn't.) For the majority of the time, the staff of 3 were the only ones in the building. Within a month of the offices being opened, management was already talking about having the gravel replaced with concrete.

Why would there be? Nothing is buried in the top few inches

This is supposed to be the least permanent, most affordable, and simple driveway type, and you found a way to make it the least valuable, most expensive option. Cool

Anyone who's ever seen one of these types of systems after a few years knows they don't last or work well.

Bumps are good… and it settles out. Its always permeable There’s a huge pipe under it, so it’s collecting water… problem is he puts tar paper and plastic in it… so you shouldn’t drink that water or farm with it without distilling and filtering I don’t get why you’d use this?

​@@frogking5573 You could also use concrete made from recycled plastic instead. South Africa has been using it for its asphalt roads, and apparently they last much longer than any other kind (works for concrete too). Only problem is, companies make less money because you don't have to replace your driveway as often, so thats a no go too.

For a flat drive it works both a driveway with water washing down an angled driveway mine washed out and didn't help at all.

Check out mechanical concrete if you’re thinking of doing something like this. Same idea, but they uses old tires from the junkyard and secure then together.

Cordless impacts are amazing to have.

you dont need the grid mould. All you need to do is excavate to make a neat area to hold the 4" deep gravel fill. Pour a concrete containment curb to limit gravel spread, and fill the excavated tray with #57 lime rock or granite gravel, and tamp as needed. A containment curb can be made with 2x12 PT ground contact wood.

just installing fresh gravel would've also completely transformed this driveway

Seriously, and I'm sure it cost at least 3x more than it would've been had he not made it more complicated than it needed to be. It looks like he does good work and pays attention to detail, and maybe he's just trying to separate himself from the competition and has good intentions, but he didn't need to add the extra layer of gravel, and that plastic grid is completely unnecessary. For the money the homeowners must've spent, they could've gotten a paved driveway instead, with stone edging and a drainage system.

It’s called Cellular Confinement and it’s been around for decades. It was never designed to be a permeable solution. It was designed for stabilization and erosion control.
