PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

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

This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and Driveline.

The blocks are interlocked by a nib at the edges. This creates surface stability, but also creates voids that surface water can easily flow through to a sub-base.

We work in Stanton Gate plus these local areas and more:

This system allows the slow release of surface water back into its environment via a process known to be called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of 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 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. Our work is guaranteed 100%.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. Bricks and blocks used in this type of paving can be made from clay or concrete. Sometimes, other composite materials are also used. Bricks can be used to make pavement. There are many patterns you can use, including the popular herringbone. This is because it creates the strongest bonds between blocks thanks to their interlocking.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic results. This is why it is so popular. The homeowner can choose from a variety of patterns, brick sizes, and block arrangements.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

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 helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over 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. There will be maintenance needs over time. However, block paving allows you to simply replace a damaged block or section rather than having to replace the entire driveway. If a block paving brick is cracked or damaged, it can be lifted separately. However, with regular maintenance, this should not be an issue. Block Paving driveways should not be considered a permanent investment. They will provide a stylish drive that will last for many years.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. Concrete cracks can become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the 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 still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. 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 is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – 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. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. 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. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
