Frequently Asked Questions
Grading, swales, and permeable pavers redirect runoff away from structures. Combine with Sarasota flood-barrier systems for full protection.
Yes—anchors are set below the paver base and capped flush. Surface drainage still functions normally.
Yes if properly compacted and lined with geomembranes. They complement mechanical barriers but should not replace them in high-risk zones.
They absorb excess runoff, reducing flow toward building openings. Maintenance prevents clogging during storms.
Not if trimmed regularly. Keep 6 inches clearance around anchors and gaskets to prevent root intrusion.
