PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

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

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 like this does not require planning permission.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Fackley 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. 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 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.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. The bricks or blocks that are used for this kind of paving are made out of clay or concrete. Other composite materials may also be 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.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful aesthetic results. The homeowner is responsible for choosing the type of bricks and the arrangement of the blocks.

Block paving can be a good choice for your driveway solution due to the many benefits it provides. Block paving can be more expensive that other driveway surfacing options. However, it can last longer than other options and can offer more benefits if cared for properly. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • Enhances your property’s appearance
  • Individual bricks and blocks are easily replaced without the need for costly repairs
  • You can choose from a wide variety of colors and shapes
  • Increases your property’s market value
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block paving driveways are usually installed by driveway experts who have many years’ experience. These specialists are skilled in interlocking and laying blocks. It is better to hire a professional to lay your driveway than to attempt it yourself. You can also share your design preferences with them and they’ll help you choose a colour that will complement the rest on your property. While the overall length of the project depends on the area that must be paved it is generally shorter than other driveway surfacing options.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: You have many choices when it comes to paving and blocks, and each type and brand has a different price.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation, waste disposal: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in your quote

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. Each block of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.

Kiln dried, sand is completely dried, without any moisture. 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. 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 laid properly, block paving will last 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. 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 will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. 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. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. 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 it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Block paving can be jet washed. – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low 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 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. 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. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. 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.
