PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

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.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

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 Sookholme 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. The SuDS and Permeable Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

Geotextile, a permeable fabric laid to seperate sub-base from ground, allows surface water to filter through and not lose sub-base to ground. It can also act as a weed barrier which can increase surface’s load bearing capacity and lifespan.

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. Our work is completely guaranteed.

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. You can create many different patterns with bricks. The most popular one is the herringbone. Bricks are used for pavement because they provide the strongest connection between all the blocks.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. It is simple to install and will produce stunning results. 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.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Your new driveway’s cost will be affected by the quality of your block paving materials and professional installation. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

Block Paving Driveway Costs:

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. The cost of excavating the base and installing it should be included in your driveway price.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation & Waste disposal: Other activities such as digging up your driveway or disposing of any waste materials will be included in your quote.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. 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 doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This helps to reduce movement risk.

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. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over 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.

Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. 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. It is possible to lift the bricks of block-paving bricks individually if they become cracked or broken, but this should not happen often. Block paving driveways will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. 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.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. 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 can be affected by the freeze/thaw cycle. You may need to replace the entire driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. 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.

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.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. 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.
