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

Block Paving can be used to improve any commercial or domestic garden. You will also have a well-designed walkway for guests, family, and staff members. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method to create a driveway or pavement. These bricks or blocks are made of clay, concrete or other composite materials. You can create many different patterns with bricks. The most popular one is the herringbone. Bricks are used for pavement because they provide the strongest connection between all the blocks.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic results. It’s a popular choice due to the wide variety of brick patterns and styles available, along with almost every aspect of the process.

Block Paving is the best option for your driveway due to its numerous benefits. Block paving can be more expensive that other driveway surfacing options.

However, it is significantly faster than other driveway-surfacing options.

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several 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.

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

  • * Materials
  • Groundwork or base: Block Paving driveways require a foundation. It is typically made from crushed stones and similar materials. The sub-base is compacted to provide a solid base. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

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. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure 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 doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

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. 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 should not be considered a permanent investment. They will provide a stylish drive that will last for many years.

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. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Concrete can be used to lay block paving, but this is very dependent on the concrete’s condition. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. 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 become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. 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. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. 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 the driveway is properly installed with solid groundwork, a deep sub-base and proper drainage, a sloped driveway can look great with block paving.

Jet washing block paving is possible – But you should be careful and not use too much pressure. If you pressure wash your driveway with too strong a force, it can cause cracks in the sand and result in uneven or loosed blocks. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.

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. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
