Abstract

First and second concrete pavers that are configured to form a paver system arrangeable in a herringbone pattern. A plurality of the first pavers and a plurality of the second pavers, which together form a kit of pavers, can be used to construct a permeable pavement with the herringbone pattern. The first and second pavers are preferably molded in a layer with the pavers arranged in the herringbone pattern. The layer can then be mechanically installed using suitable mechanical installation equipment.
