PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

You can now choose from a larger selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving’ for your driveway or patio 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 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 Newlands plus these local areas and more:

This system allows for a slow release into the environment of surface water through a process called attenuation. Modern sewers or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. 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 is a permeable fabric that is laid to separate the sub-base and ground. It allows water to pass through the surface without causing any loss to the ground.

Block Paving will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installations, and the required groundwork will all affect the price of your new driveway. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • 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: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with 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 dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This type of sand doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. 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.

Block paving is durable if it is well laid. 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. 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.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. 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.

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. It is important to keep in mind that any concrete changes below the block paving can impact the overall quality and may require a more complex repair than simply relaying a damaged block. Concrete cracks can be affected by the freeze/thaw cycle. You may need to replace the entire driveway. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable 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. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is essential that all blocks are completely dried and free from dirt or grime before applying any paint. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Block paving can be jet washed. – But you should be careful and not use too much 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 should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
