Surfaces covered by impenetrable materials like asphalt, compacted gravel, concrete, brick, and stone are impermeable. These materials seal surfaces, repel water, and prevent precipitation from infiltrating into soils and groundwater.

Removal of these materials are intended to reduce stormwater runoff rate and volume, as well as other pollutants transported from the site by the runoff.
Patios, walkways, driveways, and other impervious surfaces can be converted to gardens or permeable pavers to increase infiltration of groundwater.
