Mount Angel Easy Storage

Mt. Angel, Oregon

Pervious paving is a great solution for self-storage facilities. Its light, flat surface is easy for customers, and the low maintenance costs are ideal for owners. Most importantly, pervious pavement allows facility owners to build more revenue-producing space per acre, rather than devoting that land to stormwater management systems.

Evolution helped Easy Storage II avoid having to install expensive underground stormwater tanks. By using pervious concrete pavement nearly all the runoff from this 1.6 acre site now drains back into the ground naturally instead of draining to city storm sewers.

Another nearby self-storage business in Salem, Oregon constructed before pervious concrete was available was required to build a large detention pond instead of storage units. At today's rent they could have been creating over $25,000 per year in revenue instead of paying for ongoing maintenance to mow and remove litter from the basin.
