Basalite SF Rima in Brentwood, CA
Available Colors
Basalite SF Rima is a small-format permeable paver in a blended tan and charcoal color, engineered so stormwater infiltrates through the joints into an open-graded aggregate base rather than running off the surface. Permeable paving can help satisfy municipal stormwater and post-construction runoff requirements and can reduce or eliminate the need for detention basins and additional site drainage infrastructure.
The small unit format means more joint lines per square foot than a large-format permeable paver, which suits curved driveways, garden paths, and areas requiring frequent cuts without excessive waste. The blended tan and charcoal color conceals staining and traffic wear better than a solid color, which matters on driveways and parking areas. Practical benefits include less surface ponding, reduced ice formation, and lower runoff volume leaving the property.
Applications include driveways, parking areas, fire lanes, overflow parking, walkways, and courtyards. Permeable systems require a specific open-graded base section, not the standard compacted base used under conventional pavers — contractors should contact the yard to discuss base and aggregate specification. For another permeable option in the Basalite range, see our Cobblestone Permeable line.
