PERMEABLE PAVING AND SUDS

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

This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.

Block paving like this does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 Pleasleyhill 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 drains, sewers, and other infrastructures override this natural process, making it impossible for the ground to absorb as much water as possible. 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 is a great way to enhance your garden, whether it’s a commercial or domestic one. It also provides a clean walkway for family members, friends and employees. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving is also known by the name brick paving. It’s a decorative method used to make 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 are a great way to create many different patterns of paving. One of the most common is the herringbone design, which allows for the strongest interlocking between the blocks.

Block paving driveways have been a popular choice for homeowners in the UK since the 1980s. It’s simple and beautiful, when done correctly. This is why it is so popular. The homeowner can choose from a variety of patterns, brick sizes, and block arrangements.

Block paving is a great choice for your driveway because of its many benefits. It is typically more expensive than other driveway options, but can provide greater benefits and lasts longer if properly maintained. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • Enhances the property’s overall appearance
  • You can easily replace individual bricks or blocks, without needing to make costly repairs

Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. They will know how to interlock blocks and lay them correctly. It is better to hire a professional to lay your driveway than to attempt it yourself.

The length of the project will depend on how large the driveway is, but it is much faster than other driveway surfacing options.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.

Block Paving Driveway Costs:

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • 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 cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to your quote

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. 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 helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. 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 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 rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. 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 negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, 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. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. 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 the driveway is properly installed with solid groundwork, a deep sub-base and proper drainage, a sloped driveway can look great with block paving.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. 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.
