PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

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

This permeable paving solution is for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) schemes. It allows water to drain quickly into the subbase and then slowly into ground. This reduces the risk of flooding local areas.

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.

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 Clayworth 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 drains, sewers, and other infrastructures override this natural process, making it impossible for the ground to absorb as much water as possible. 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, 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 can be used to improve any commercial or domestic garden. You will also have a well-designed walkway for guests, family, and staff members. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. Bricks and blocks used in this type of paving can be made from clay or concrete. Sometimes, other composite materials are also 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.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic results. It’s a popular choice due to the wide variety of brick patterns and styles available, along with almost every aspect of the process.

Because of its wide variety of benefits, block paving is the best choice for driveway solutions. Block paving can be more expensive that other driveway surfacing options. However, it can last longer than other options and can offer more benefits if cared for properly. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • Enhances your property’s appearance
  • You can easily replace individual bricks or blocks, without needing to make costly repairs
  • There is a large selection of colors and shapes you can choose from
  • Increases your property’s market value
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block paver driveways are often installed by driveway specialists who have many decades of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways. You won’t be able to achieve a perfect driveway if you do not hire a company to help you. You can also let them know what design you want and they will help you select the right colour to match your property. While the overall length of the project depends on the area that must be paved it is generally shorter than other driveway surfacing options.

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several 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.
  • 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.
  • Labour costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

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 very popular due to its high permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

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 will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. Once you have spotted any growth, you can use any commercial weed killer product. Some of these products are also designed to prevent 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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. 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.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Jet washing block paving is possible – But you should be careful and not use too much pressure. If you pressure wash your driveway with too strong a force, it can cause cracks in the sand and result in uneven or loosed blocks. 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 the sand has dried, clean your paving.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
