PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

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.

Block paving like this does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 Skegby plus these local areas and more:

This system allows the slow release of surface water back into its environment via a process known to be called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. 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 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. We stand behind all of our work.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

The following are the main factors that influence the price of block paving driveways:

  • Materials: You have many choices when it comes to paving and blocks, and each type and brand has a different price.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

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 minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, 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.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. 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 are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. Concrete should not be laid just to place paving blocks over it. The driveway’s quality will be affected by any changes in the concrete beneath the block-paving. This may make it more complicated to replace a damaged one. Concrete cracks may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

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. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

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. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.

Block paving is not fine for 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 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. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
