Making Gray Concrete Environmentally Green!

Runoff is such a waste!  Not only does it flush chemicals and debris into our surface water system (streams, rivers, lakes and oceans...) it flushes good fresh water supplies away from the roots of plants that need the moisture.  Permeable or semi-permeable concrete is one solution to conserve water, protect watersheds and reduce runoff.

Pervious Concrete has been reviewed by the Federal EPA as a post construction Best Management Practice for parking lots and storm water management. The reduction of the “heat island effect” and the cleaning of “first flush” storm water events are two of the major benefits of the product.

If you have concerns for the environment you might like to visit the website of Environ-Crete to learn about permeable concrete: www.envirocreteinc.com 

Pervious Concrete is not poured like conventional concrete, it’s compacted in place. The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association recommends that only qualified contractors attempt to place this sustainable product. Enviro-Crete, Inc. is providing certified and experienced operations throughout California. We are professionals at assisting in the success of a construction project, and helping new buildings achieve valuable LEED points!

If your project parking lot is 10,000 square feet or 50 acres, we have the equipment and resources you need.

The Pervious Concrete parking lot we built in Lake Tahoe is the largest one there yet, but watch out for dwarfing projects coming soon.
