Case Studies

When you need a tough, attractive and proven pavement solution, turn to Willow Creek Paving Stones. From parking lots to walkways, from driveways to courtyards and plazas, and whether in public spaces or at private residences, Willow Creek pavers set the standard for quality and value.

 

Our permeable paver systems provide an attractive, high-performance permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) stormwater management option suitable for a broad range of applications. A PICP system incorporating Willow Creek permeable pavers allows water to drain quickly through the paved surface into the subsurface and then infiltrate into the ground, or it can be harvested for irrigation or other uses. Our permeable pavers can qualify your projects for LEED credits from the U.S. Green Building Council.
