Introducing the Firth EcoPave® permeable paving range 

Firth’s EcoPave® range provides attractive, permeable hardscape paving solutions to assist with stormwater management – reducing run-off and filtering pollutants.  

Why choose permeable paving? The top benefits are listed below: 

Manage stormwater peak flows

EcoPave® does this by holding and releasing rainwater in a controlled manner. Firth EcoPave® systems effectively manage stormwater on your client’s property to help avoid overwhelming local infrastructure during heavy rainfall.  

Ideal for residential traffic

Whether it’s a driveway or carpark, the FlowPave® system is perfect for light-to-medium residential traffic applications, providing a durable and puddle-free solution that enhances the environment.

Improve water quality

Permeable paving systems actively contribute to better water quality. Through effective filtration and sedimentation, they help filter out pollutants that contribute to water pollution, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment. Engineered permeable systems also help recharge local aquifers to keep your client’s gardens and lawn looking green all year round! 

Enhance aesthetics and functionality

With a variety of colours, textures and compatible commercial pavers, Firth EcoPave® range offers endless design possibilities to elevate outdoor spaces. It’s not just about functionality; it’s about creating visually appealing hardscapes that make a statement.  

Maximise land use

EcoPave® systems maximise land usage by reducing the need for additional retention structures, such as ground sumps, ponds or dams. By retaining water within the system, they help make the most out of your client’s land, optimising its potential.  

Keeping things green

Firth’s Pixel Paver®, Grass Paver and Gobi® Blocks are perfect for creating hardstand parking, without sacrificing the front lawn. These open pavers allow grass to grow through, forming all-weather lawns with a hard, durable sub-surface that can be driven over no matter how wet ‘n’ wild the weather gets.  

Made by Firth in New Zealand

Firth prides itself on a uniquely local style of architecture. Its hallmark is a strong connection with the outdoors and, for nearly 100 years, Firth masonry bricks and pavers have been helping make those spaces welcoming and beautiful. 

Made from locally and ethically sourced natural aggregates, Firth hardscaping products elevate the aesthetics and functionality of our homes, commercial properties and civic spaces. Always engineered and manufactured using the best available technologies, they’re synonymous with good looks, quality, strength and durability.
