Greenscapes: EcoBay

EcoBay pavers were featured at the Peninsula Home Builders Association 2011 Parade of Homes at Buckroe Beach in Hampton, Virginia. Homebuilder Garnett Construction LLC did an excellent job maximizing the use of the lot by installing approximately 700 SF of the EcoBay Chamfered James River PICP product.

The innovative properties of this permeable paver system works to provide effective storm water management by filtering contaminants naturally, facilitating replenishment of the water table and allowing rainwater to be harvested.

The Buckroe Bay/East Beach development is Hampton Roads’ first certified green community. This means that each home must save at least 15 percent of heating and cooling costs by adhering to energy-saving standards established by EarthCraft Virginia or the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Program.

Brian Almond of Living Image Landscaping installed the job.
