Permeable Pavers in Burr Ridge, IL (Premium Look + Stormwater-Smart Hardscapes)
G Construction & Landscape
Homeowners searching “permeable pavers Burr Ridge IL” typically want fewer puddles, better drainage performance, and a clean luxury look for patios, walkways, or driveway areas. Permeable pavements are designed to let stormwater infiltrate through the surface into a stone reservoir below (a green infrastructure approach instead of a fully impervious surface).https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2021-11/bmp-permeable-pavements.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Burr Ridge’s Stormwater Management Committee has discussed permeable pavers as a BMP and noted that successful performance depends on ongoing maintenance to keep the system functioning as intended.https://cms5.revize.com/revize/burrridge/Document%20Center/Agenda%20%26%20Minutes/Stormwater%20Management%20Committee/Agenda/2017/stormwater-agenda-summaries-2017-08-08.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Yard Drainage Solutions in Burr Ridge, IL (French Drains, Catch Basins, Downspout Routing + Grading Fixes)
G Construction & Landscape
“Yard drainage Burr Ridge IL,” “standing water in yard,” and “French drain installation” searches usually come from the same issues: roof runoff dumping in the wrong place, low spots, poor grading, and saturated areas that never dry out. We start by mapping how water moves during storms, then install the right solution: grading corrections, downspout underground lines, catch basins, French drains, and infiltration/discharge routing that protects the home and landscape.
Burr Ridge’s building ordinance sets clear expectations for surface/sub-surface water: water discharge can’t be directed across streets/rights-of-way or onto adjoining property, and must be handled on the owner’s property unless an approved subsurface system is used. https://cms5.revize.com/revize/burrridge/Document%20Center/Government/Department/Community%20Development/Building%20%26%20Permits/BUILDING%20ORDINANCE%201225%20eff.%201_1_25.pdf

For Burr Ridge homes, landscaping is usually about polish and privacy: clean foundation plantings, evergreen screening, layered shrub beds, seasonal color, and lighting that elevates the property at night.

Q: Do I need a permit to replace or widen my driveway in Burr Ridge?
A: In many cases, yes.

(Seal coating does not require the driveway permit.) https://www.burr-ridge.gov/Document%20Center/Government/Department/Community%20Development/Building%20%26%20Permits/Permit%20Applications/ROW%20Driveway%20Permit%20Packet.pdf?t=202509150948020

A: Burr Ridge’s patio permit packet notes up to 15 business days for the first plan review (and 10 for each subsequent). The driveway permit packet notes up to 21 business days for the first review (and 10 for each subsequent).
Q: Can I discharge downspouts or sump pump water across the sidewalk/street or onto my neighbor’s property?
A: Burr Ridge’s building ordinance prohibits discharging surface/sub-surface water across streets/rights-of-way or onto adjoining property, and requires discharge to be handled on the owner’s property unless a Village-approved drainage system/structure is used.
Q: Why does Burr Ridge care so much about stormwater and what goes into storm sewers?
A: Burr Ridge explains that stormwater runoff picks up pollutants and anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into local waters—so preventing polluted runoff matters.
Q (extra Burr Ridge-specific): What are the sump pump discharge requirements for new homes or large additions?
A: Burr Ridge’s building ordinance states that for new single-family construction and additions larger than 1,000 gross sq ft, sump pump discharge must connect to a Village-approved storm sewer/structure; if no storm sewer is adjacent, discharge must be on the owner’s property no closer than 15 feet from lot lines, and further measures may be required if standing water results.
