PERRY is on a distinguished road
The landscaper took 6 months to finish the work over the course of the summer/early fall. I think I saw him use a sandy type material as well as gravel. Both of which he pounded down solid. Water does pool in areas during very heavy rain but will drain soon after. Where it drains to is a good question really. The ground is very heavily laden with clay soil. Its TIGHTLY packed clay soil. Just last summer I paid a guy to dig a dry well for me in the back yard to help drainage. i bought him a new pick ax. Within 10 minutes he showed me he had bent the ax because of the tightly packed soil. So as I said I dont know where the water goes once it drains through the pavers!
