PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

You can now choose from a larger selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving’ for your driveway or patio installation.

This is a permeable paver solution that can be used in Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS). It allows water quickly to drain into the subbase, then slowly into soil. This helps reduce the potential for flooding and the risk of runoff.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.

These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as Driveline.

The blocks have a nib along the edge that interlocks to improve the surface stability. However, it creates voids which surface waters can easily pass through to a specially prepared base.

We work in Kirk Hallam plus these local areas and more:

This system allows surface water to slowly be released back into the surrounding environment, a process called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. Permeable pavement and SuDS balance the situation, allowing ground to absorb, store, then slowly release the water in controlled ways – just like a big soakaway.

Geotextile can be described as permeable fabric. It is used to separate sub-base from the ground. This allows the surface water through the fabric without losing sub-base.

Block Paving is a great way to enhance your garden, whether it’s a commercial or domestic one. It also provides a clean walkway for family members, friends and employees. We stand behind all of our work.

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like concrete. This reduces the chance of people slipping on the surface. It also eliminates potential damage that water could cause if there is no drainage or water pooling.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Any commercial weed-killing products can be used once you have detected any growth. Some of these products also contain a preventative component to help with future growth.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. Remember that concrete beneath the block paving may change and impact the driveway’s overall quality. It may be more difficult to repair a damaged brick than to lay new concrete. Concrete cracks may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. Block paving can also be preserved with sealants or stain-resistant cover to keep its natural look. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Can block paving be jet washed? – But you should be careful and not use too much pressure. You should not pressure wash your driveway too hard. This can cause damage to the sand that holds it in place. It will also result in loosening blocks and uneven surfaces. To jet wash your block pavers, be careful and do it at a 45° angle. This reduces the pressure on your sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
