PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

The range of “Permeable Block Paving” is even better for patio or driveway 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.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and 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 Bleak Hills 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 or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. The SuDS and Permeable Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

Geotextile, a permeable fabric laid to seperate sub-base from ground, allows surface water to filter through and not lose sub-base to ground. It can also act as a weed barrier which can increase surface’s load bearing capacity and lifespan.

Block Paving will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. We stand behind all of our work.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. Price will vary depending on where you live.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
  • Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • 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 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 sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for 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 laid properly, block paving will last 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. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block paving driveways are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

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.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. It is not recommended that concrete be laid with the intention of putting paving blocks on top. 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 can be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.

You are able to use block paving if you have 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.

Block paving can be jet washed. – 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. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush.
