Rather than pave this area that likely receives occasional heavy truck traffic, the site owners have utilized cobbles to preserve permeability.

Comments:
An alternative to pavement, cobbles provide a very tough, low maintenance ground cover while still preserving the ability of rainfall to infiltrate the area.

Cobbles are often used as a low maintenance ground cover. They come in a variety of sizes, but are generally considered to be rocks between 1-5 inches.

At this site in Longview, cobbles have been used in a architectural way to provide the look of a stream bed. Rainwater falling on this site will infiltrate into the ground rather than run off into the street. The slight depression helps catch and store stormwater.
