PERMEABLE PAVING AND 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 available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Ravensdale 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 permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Q and A's

Block paving can also be known as brick-paving. This is a widely used decorative technique to create 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. It is a very popular choice because it allows homeowners to choose the brick patterns and styles that they want, as well as how they arrange the blocks.

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. 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 type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like concrete. This eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

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. 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 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. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. 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 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.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

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.

Jet washing block paving is possible – 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. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure 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.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
