There is a house with a permeable driveway about half a mile down the road from me. I guess it's about eight years now and there are ruts in it. The shiny gravel is still mostly there, but the gravel has spread out a bit in all directions especially towards the street. Theirs is permeable because it had washed aggregate where the fines were removed. Some weeds can grow on it as winds, tree sap, cottonwood, pollen, mold, etc over the years have deposited enough material to allow weeds to grow in it. The house is on its 2nd owner and they pulled the weeds as it recently looked clear of any growth. But it does rut but certainly far far less than simply pouring gravel over dirt.

They installed this system at a new building for my company. It was like driving through slush, threw up rocks that broke windows, and the plastic grid started to come up out of the rocks after only a few weeks. In less than a year it was completely ripped out and replaced with concrete. EDIT: For everyone saying that we drove on it wrong, or went too fast, or there was too much traffic. The only way into the area was through a security gate that you needed a code for. We moved into the offices in August 2022, but the building was not yet open to the public. (As of this writing: January 2024, it still isn't.) For the majority of the time, the staff of 3 were the only ones in the building. Within a month of the offices being opened, management was already talking about having the gravel replaced with concrete.

It looks like he does good work and pays attention to detail, and maybe he's just trying to separate himself from the competition and has good intentions, but he didn't need to add the extra layer of gravel, and that plastic grid is completely unnecessary. For the money the homeowners must've spent, they could've gotten a paved driveway instead, with stone edging and a drainage system.

Is barely permeable: Weed barrier will hold water in puddles, rock was compacted before plastic mesh making it difficult for water to get through. Water will likely pool in the mesh of the plastic. Is bad for environment: 100% recycled plastic or not, you’re still putting 2 layers of plastic in the ground, both of which will likely become damaged. Plastic will be in your soil. It’s not long lasting: Concrete and asphalt, although they do have cons, are long lasting. Gravel often gets messy and new gravel is needed often to maintain a gravel driveway. Whether using typical gravel, or this type, regular maintenance is required for it to look good. Typically gravel though, does have the previous cons.
