Whatzit #1 Solution        
Rather than creating a sidewalk or driveway which blocks water from flowing through to the ground below, you can install permeable pavers which allow stormwater to soak in instead of run off. The open structure of this particular paver also lets grass grow up, creating greener spaces around your home. This photo was taken at Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate, which is holding its annual Lawn & Garden Party fundraiser on June 20th.  Click Ashland for details.Â
To find out more about these pavers from a local source, see Meade Concrete Products , and check out their Eco Friendly Permeable Pavers, especially Turfstone.
