Pervious Concrete Low Life-Cycle Cost
Pervious concrete is also economical in that it minimizes the need for runoff retainers, reducing property costs. There is very little overproduction since it is made directly on-site and as-needed, and it can be recycled once it has reached the end of its life-cycle. Thus pervious concrete is widely recognized as the lowest life-cycle cost option available for paving.

Concrete pavements have a significantly lower life-cycle cost
than alternatives such as asphalt. Although the initial cost of pervious
installation may be slightly higher, concrete saves money in the long run due to
its superior durability and strength. It requires fewer repairs than asphalt,
and has a longer overall lifespan as well.
