Coming up on Friday is one of the most exciting shows of the year. Hundreds of companies will gather together, each presenting their own ideas about how to create the best outdoor areas. From Landscape Architects to Manufacturers to Designers, this show will have a little of everything to make your project that much more special.
We are excited to be participating this year. Though Pacific Interlock is a producer of Pavingstones (and has been for 30+ years), we will mostly be at this show to share our Patented Hydro-Flo(TM) Technology. This is the only Patented Concrete Paver on the Market today. These pavers are distinguished by their 100% Surface Permeability (That's right! Water goes right through the paver! Up to 3 inches per hour). Our technology allows water to pass through the pavers without holes, so there is no loss of strength, and little worry for plugging.
There are many reasons to consider this product, as it increases safety, recharges aquifers, opportunity for five possible LEED points and customization. This is truly one of the most all around Green, safe, and beautiful products around.

Update on Ocean Avenue in Carmel
Construction has completed on Ocean Avenue in Carmel. The parking lot is open, freshly paved and is looking great for whatever weather decides to come next.
Hydro-Flo(TM) Pavers work incredibly well by themselves, allowing around 3 inches of water per hour to stay on site. However, with some creative thinking, the designers of the Pacific Avenue project incorporated another new idea to prevent excess runoff. In this project, Bioswales are used in conjunction with Hydro-Flo Pavingstones to eliminate even more runoff, allowing the water to trickle back in the the earth. These Bioswales can be constructed using our Rumble Retainer Blocks (see our article on Rumble Retainer Blocks for more information), which can also be made using Hydro-Flo Technology.
With all the sand from the beach, the surface of the pavers is already covered. Since Hydro-Flo pavers do not depend on holes for their porosity, the excess sand will not clog our pavers. They will be ready to return water into the soil underneath, hopefully preventing chemicals in the runoff from reaching the ocean.
Enjoy the beautiful weather!
