Mentor Moments: Think Permeable!

Hosted by: Lexi Dearborn, CLD
Presenter: Terry Childs, FLP, Instructor CMHA

We’re excited to welcome Terry Childs, a dedicated instructor from the Concrete Masonry & Hardscape Association, Certified Fusion Landscape Professional, and owner of Nature’s Way Landscaping, to guide us through a discussion of permeable pavers.

Permeable pavers are where smart design meets hard-working performance. This presentation offers an engaging exploration of how these pavement pavers manage water, reduce runoff, and still look great. Terry will explain how permeable pavers function, where they excel, and how designers can use them to address drainage challenges, improve sustainability, and add significant design value to projects. Expect practical tips, real-world examples, and plenty of “why didn’t we do this sooner?” moments—because good drainage is the key to a successful landscape design.
