PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS
A wider range of Permeable Block Paving is available for driveway and patio installations.
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.
This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.
These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as Driveline.
Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.
We work in Nuncargate 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. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large soakaway.
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. Our work is completely guaranteed.

What Sand Should You Use for a Block Paving Driveway?
It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.
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 is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.
Is Block Paving Permeable or Not?
Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike 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.
How long does block paving normally last?
Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged.

Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.
Can block paving be laid on concrete?
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. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. Concrete cracks can become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

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. 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.
What should I do when my driveway is on a sloped surface?
A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.
How do you clean a driveway made of block pavers?
Can block paving be jet washed? – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low 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. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.
How to clean a block paved driveway without pressure washing?
