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 like this does not require planning permission.

These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as 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 Bilby 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 SuDS and permeable pavers balance this process, allowing the ground’s natural ability to absorb, store and release the collected water in a controlled fashion – much like a large soakaway.

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 can improve any residential or commercial garden. All work is 100% guaranteed.

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 as pavement in many different ways. The most popular is the herringbone pattern, which provides the strongest bond among all blocks because of their interlocking.

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. Price will vary depending on where you live.

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

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • The base or groundwork: Block paver driveways require a subbase. This is usually made from crushed stone and other similar materials. Once the base has been compacted, it can be used to build a stable foundation. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
  • Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to your quote

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using 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 is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.

If laid properly, block paving will last a lifetime. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. You can easily lift individual blocks of block paving bricks if they are cracked or damaged. But with regular maintenance this should be rare. Block paving driveways can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow between the paving blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. 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.

Concrete can be used to lay block paving, but this is very dependent on the concrete’s condition. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. 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 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 paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, 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.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is essential that all blocks are completely dried and free from dirt or grime before applying any paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Can block paving be jet washed? – 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. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the 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.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. 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 are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
