StoneSet uniquely has the highest porosity rate compared with other complete, rigid paved surfaces.

We optimise porosity with strength/durability by using a 6mm stone which is large enough to form multiple strong cross-linked bonds forming one solid matrix for longevity and durability.

This 6mm stone size leaves voids large enough to afford a porosity rate of 103 Litres/sqm/min – Essentially as porous as grass.

Key advantages for council

StoneSet provides an ideal solution for high foot traffic areas and walkways. Accordingly Councils in every state across Australia have used StoneSet tree surrounds for public areas. 

• No loose stone Guaranteed 10 years
• No loose stone, no trip hazards
• No loose stone, no maintenance cost replacing stone
• Extends traffikable area of the pathway
• Aesthetic, natural stone colour unaffected by unaffected by UV
• Aesthetic, choice of 30+ colours to match existing outdoor paving
• Slip resistant – R11 rating (suitable for public area ramps)
• Non slip – drains rapidly during rain

For new Permeable tree surrounds, we require a porous base layer of compacted crushed rock. Typically this applied around the tree before StoneSet permeable paving is applied 30mm deep over the top.

For established trees StoneSet permeable paving can simply overlay at a depth of 30mm, provided the existing base is compacted.
