PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

This permeable solution allows water to quickly drain into the under-base and slowly into the ground. It is ideal for Sustainable Drainage Sytems (SuDS), which reduces flooding potential.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

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

Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.

We work in Stanton-by-Dale 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, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the water. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large soakaway.

Geotextile is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. We stand behind all of our work.

Block paver driveways are often installed by driveway specialists who have many decades of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways.

It will vary depending on the size of your driveway, but the process is generally faster than other driveway surface options.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Your new driveway’s cost will be affected by the quality of your block paving materials and professional installation. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.

The following factors are major determinants of the cost of block-paving driveways:

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • The base or groundwork: Block paver driveways require a subbase. This is usually made from crushed stone and other similar materials. Once the base has been compacted, it can be used to build a stable foundation. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • Excavation & Waste disposal: Other activities such as digging up your driveway or disposing of any waste materials will be included in your quote.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

Kiln dried sand has no moisture and is totally dry. It also has a fine texture that makes it perfect for packing block paving blocks. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

Block paving is durable if it is well laid. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block paving driveways will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for 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. The driveway’s quality will be affected by any changes in the concrete beneath the block-paving. This may make it more complicated to replace a damaged one. 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.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

Block paving is not fine for a sloped driveway. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – But you should be careful and not use too much pressure. Over-pressure washing your driveway can damage the sand, which holds it in place. You will end up with loose blocks or an uneven surface. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
