PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & 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 is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well Driveline.

Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.

We work in Babworth 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 sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to 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. We stand behind all of our work.

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. These bricks or blocks are made of clay, concrete or other composite materials. Bricks can be used to make pavement. There are many patterns you can use, including the popular herringbone. This is because it creates the strongest bonds between blocks thanks to their interlocking.

Block paving driveways have been a popular choice for homeowners in the UK since the 1980s. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic 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 a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending 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.

Block Paving Driveway Costs:

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.

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 helps reduce the possibility of movement 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 prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

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. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. 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 rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. It is not recommended that concrete be laid with the intention of putting paving blocks on top. Remember that concrete beneath the block paving may change and impact the driveway’s overall quality. It may be more difficult to repair a damaged brick than to lay new concrete. Concrete cracks can be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. 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. Block paving can also be preserved with sealants or stain-resistant cover to keep its natural look. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.

Block paving is not fine for a sloped driveway. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Block paving can be jet washed. – But you should be careful and not use too much 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. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
