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 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 Sutton in Ashfield 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 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 is a permeable fabric that is laid to separate the sub-base and ground. It allows water to pass through the surface without causing any loss to the ground.

Block Paving will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method 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.

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, sand is completely dried, without any moisture. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block paving is very popular due to its high 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 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. 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 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. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

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. 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. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

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.

Can block paving be jet washed? – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low pressure. Over-pressure washing your driveway can damage the sand, which holds it in place. You will end up with loose blocks or an uneven surface. To jet wash your block pavers, be careful and do it at a 45° angle. This reduces the pressure on your sand. 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.

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. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
