Pervious Concrete Parking for Laguna Blanca School in Santa Barbara!

LagunaBlanca-1-1000px-WM.png

Laguna Blanca, a pristine private school tucked into the hills of Hope Ranch, just outside of Santa Barbara, California, commissioned pervious concrete as part of their comprehensive landscape improvement project. They used integral color to enhance the look and feel of the pervious, creating a cohesive natural palate that flatters the Spanish Mission style campus.  They used pervious concrete in the driving lanes, some parking spaces, and through the bus paths. You can see in the photos below that this parking lot gets used daily. Bus traffic, cars, activity vans, maintenance vehicles - this installation was installed in 2013 and it still looks beautiful!

Whole Life Church Expands their parking with Pervious Concrete

In our continuing series of our installed work in Southern California, we now go to Santa Clarita where we installed 30,000 sq ft of pervious concrete for the Church's expanding parking lot. They have EV charging stations and some lovely greenery to add color to their mixed pavement parking. They used pervious concrete for the parking stalls and asphalt for the driving lanes. While that is not an ideal design, the high ratio of pervious concrete to asphalt will allow this paveemnt to drain for many years.

You can see how expansive the parking is. This is in addition to the Church's original parking. With the beautiful drought-resistant plantings, it makes the walk to the front door a lovely stroll.
