We size the stone reservoir to hold the water rather than assuming the ground will take it, and we design the outlet. This is the single thing most permeable installs in this city get wrong.
Open graded clean stone throughout, clean chip in the joints, and no bedding sand at any layer. Fines are what turn a permeable surface into a sealed one, and they get in by being specified in.
Tyler is certified by the Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association, formerly ICPI, which publishes the permeable interlocking standards this work is built to.
If your lot drainage will not accept a pure infiltration design, we tell you at the site visit and price the system that will actually work, rather than selling you a surface that looks permeable and performs like concrete.
Tyler is on every project. The depth and gradation of the stone reservoir is the whole system, and it is buried the moment it is built.
Our warranty covers the build: excavation, open graded base, reservoir construction, laying, cutting, edge restraint and jointing. Paving units carry their own manufacturer warranty, which we register for you.
Permeable units are purpose made with wider joints or built in spacers so water has a route through. They are available in finishes close enough to standard paving that most people cannot tell a permeable driveway from a sealed one until it rains.
The open graded stone layer is the system. It is sized to hold the volume a storm delivers, separated from the clay with geotextile, and given a way to release that volume slowly instead of sitting against your foundation.
You call or submit a form with your project scope and location. Tyler or a team member responds within one business day with questions and preliminary guidance. If it sounds like a fit, we move to a site visit.
Tyler walks the property, looks at where water currently collects after a storm, checks the subgrade and your lot's existing drainage, and establishes whether a pure infiltration design is realistic or whether the system needs an outlet. The area it will serve is measured, because that sets the reservoir depth.
A detailed line-item proposal covers excavation, the stone reservoir, geotextile, any underdrain, materials and labour, with the reservoir depth and stone gradation stated in writing. Once approved, we lock in a confirmed start date.
Utility locates are called first. We excavate to the full reservoir depth, lay geotextile against the clay, install any underdrain, then build the open graded stone layers and compact them without ever introducing fines.
Permeable units are laid, cut clean and locked with edge restraint, then the joints are filled with clean chip and the surface compacted. Tyler walks it with you, explains the warranty, and shows you how to keep the surface clear so it stays permeable.
Tell us about your project and we will help you figure out if Genesis is the right fit. No pressure, just an honest conversation about your space and your goals.
