No, they use one of two methods to prevent this. They either use semi-solid substrate with perforated drainage tubes (I'd assume this would be for larger expanses like parking lots or an elevated roadway). Or they use packed gravel substrate that allows the water to percolate naturally back into the ground, which is almost no different than what happens on normal ground.
