OP are you sure you really need permeable paving or a retention system? Double check with your townships zoning and building inspector (zoning should really know) I had the former zoning department (2 years ago) tell me that yes I needed a storm water management system (even though I am on 3...

I will 2nd the you are correct. In my township, a developer wanted to put in a warehouse. They would have done severe cuts on the property just to level it out. Locals got 2 lawyers involved (one a municipal type and the other a civil) after much back and forth, it was shown that some of the...

Don't think anyone in PA uses that. Our freeze thaw cycles will destroy that the first year its installed.

Do you know for sure that its 40w locomotive oil? Just because its labeled that doesnt mean thats whats in it. Anyone that burns waste oil will take it if its oil. The garage my boss rents out uses waste oil and we get it from all over the place. The building owner gets it in big totes down...

OP....what township and county do you live in? Some areas you can just get away with an infiltration pit (basically a big hole in the ground lined with fabric and filled with 2b stone) that all your storm water goes to. Permeable paving can be very expensive. You do not need an engineer...

I can guarantee that if no gutters were installed, the settling and washing out will continue to occur. Tell them what the township inspector says should be done, because unless this has had final inspection, they must rectify it the way the township wants it done. If it has had final, they...

You will not match the strength and quality of a paver from a manufacturer. Till you get the supplies and materials needed to make your own, it will be cheaper to buy them already made. If its the expense, then perhaps look on craigslist for some, ask landscapers if they have any that are left...

Re: Pestering Pays Off or How to Earn Another ¡You ****! Damn it, you ****!!! Around me, there is a Mennonite guy who buys the returns and damaged goods from stores like Home Depot and Lowes and others. He used to be stocked with damaged boxes all the time. I got a real nice Huskey from him...

All depends on many things. Sometimes pavers can be cheaper than concrete. Techo Bloc is good, I install alot of Caimbridge and really like their product. EP Henry used to be really good, but their quality has gone down recently. I would go with traditional concrete pavers for this...
