PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS
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.
This block paving type does not require planning permission.
These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and Driveline.
The blocks have an edge nib that allows for surface stability. But it also creates voids where surface water can easily run through to a special sub-base.
We work in Huthwaite 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 pavers balance this process, allowing the ground’s natural ability to absorb, store and release the collected water in a controlled fashion – much like a large 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. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's
What is block paving?
Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. These bricks or blocks are made of clay, concrete or other composite materials. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways. The most popular is the herringbone pattern, which provides the strongest bond among all blocks because of their interlocking.
Block paving driveways are popular among homeowners.
Block paving driveways have been a popular choice for homeowners in the UK since the 1980s. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful 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.
Why is blockpaving considered a good option?
Block paving can be a good choice for your driveway solution due to the many benefits it provides. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of. Here are some benefits of block paving Dartford, or anywhere else.
- Enhances your property’s appearance
- Individual bricks and blocks are easily replaced without the need for costly repairs
- There is a large selection of colors and shapes you can choose from
- This will increase the property’s worth
- Due to the interlocking of the blocks, driveways are stronger than others
Who installs block paver driveways?
Block paver driveways are often installed by driveway specialists who have many decades of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways. This will ensure that you have a beautiful driveway. You can also let them know what design you want and they will help you select the right colour to match your property. The project’s length will depend on the area to which it needs to be paved. However, it is significantly faster than other driveway-surfacing options.
How much does block paving cost?
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.
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 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. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
- Labour costs
- Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation
What Sand should I use for a Block Paving Driveway?
You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.
Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.
Is block paving porous?
Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. Block paving is a porous material that is durable and can be used for driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.
How long will block paving last?
Block paving is durable if it is well laid. Block paving will need to be maintained over time. But you can easily remove damaged blocks or areas rather than replacing 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 will not last forever and should only be purchased once.
How can you stop weeds in blocking paving?
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. Any commercial weed-killing products can be used once you have detected any growth. Some of these products also contain a preventative component to help with future growth.
Can block paving be laid on concrete?
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 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.
Is it possible to lay block paving in winter?
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. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.
Can I paint my block paved driveway?
Yes! 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. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.
What should you do if your driveway is on the slope?
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.
How do you clean a driveway made of block pavers?
Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.
How to clean a block paved driveway without pressure washing?
You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
