PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

This permeable paving solution is for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) schemes. It allows water to drain quickly into the subbase and then slowly into ground. This reduces the risk of flooding local areas.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Bentinck Town 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. 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 can improve any residential or commercial garden. We stand behind all of our work.

Block paving can be a great investment in your property. The price will vary depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

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

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • 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. The cost of excavating the base and installing it should be included in your driveway price.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

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 type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is a porous material that is durable and can be used for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. You can easily lift individual blocks of block paving bricks if they are cracked or damaged. But with regular maintenance this should be rare. Block paving driveways can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. Once you have spotted any growth, you can use any commercial weed killer product. Some of these products are also designed to prevent future growth.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. Concrete should not be laid just to place paving blocks over it. 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 still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Jet washing block paving is possible – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.
