Greeney Residence

OBJECTIVES

The owner needed to address flooding issues and wanted a solution that perfectly complemented the home’s exterior. The home is positioned at the lower end of a 200-foot-long drive that drops 16 feet in elevation from the street entrance. Impervious concrete was replaced with PICP to manage 80,700 gallons of rainwater the pavement receives annually.

SOLUTIONS

The PICP improvement eliminated concerns over flooding in the home and garage. The 3,500 square foot pavement includes a courtyard and vehicle turnaround. Expert workmanship is showcased via smooth pavement elevation transitions and precise paver trim cuts. 

RESULTS

This quality paver installation ensured the homeowner’s stormwater drainage issues were addressed in a manner that enhanced the beauty of their home. The existing storm drain inlets were retained and work in conjunction with permeable pavers.  The pavers, also, achieve visual harmonization with the adjacent natural stone wall, which was a project requirement. Despite 37 inches of annual rainfall, these Portland Oregon homeowners will rest assured their property is protected from rainwater runoff.
