The Outcomes
Driveway Runoff No Longer Reaches Your Foundation
Water enters the permeable surface and drains into the sub-base below — not across your lot toward your foundation wall.
No runoff. No path to your basement.Your Home Stops Adding to the Problem
When your driveway sheds water to the street, that runoff flows into an already-stressed system. A permeable surface retains water on your lot and releases it slowly — reducing your contribution to the flooding cycle.
On-site retention. Less runoff for everyone.Standing Water and Ice — No More
A permeable surface drains immediately — there's no runoff path because water moves through rather than across. No pooling, no freeze-thaw ice patches, no water sitting against your garage or steps.
A driveway that drains itself.All three — built into a single, properly permitted installation.
How It Works
Three distinct systems — each targeting a specific cause of residential flooding.
Our clear-stone sub-base holds and slowly releases stormwater below your driveway — intercepting water before it ever pools against your foundation.
Permeable surfaces infiltrate water on-site rather than shedding it to the street drain. Your property stops contributing runoff to an already-stressed system — and reduces the risk of water finding its way back to you.
No two properties drain the same way. We assess your lot's existing grading and drainage conditions before any work begins — so the solution we install is right for your specific property.
City of Toronto Rebates
available for qualifying stormwater upgrades
Flood-mitigation upgrades like permeable driveways are exactly what the City of Toronto's stormwater rebate program was designed to support. We assess your eligibility as part of your free site assessment.
*Program launches May 1, 2026. Amounts depend on project scope and property eligibility.
Permit & Approval Management
For properties in TRCA flood zones or Special Policy Areas, permitting involves additional steps. We manage everything — City of Toronto drawings, TRCA coordination, and bylaw compliance — start to finish.
Our Credentials
Every project is backed by full credentials, insurance, and professional certification.
