PERMEABLE PAVING AND SUDS

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

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.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t 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 are interlocked by a nib at the edges. This creates surface stability, but also creates voids that surface water can easily flow through to a sub-base.

We work in Headon plus these local areas and more:

This system allows slow releases of water into the environment 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 is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. Our work is completely 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 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.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful 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.

Block Paving is the best option for your driveway due to its numerous benefits. 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. Block paving is a great choice for Dartford and other areas.

  • Individual bricks and blocks are easily replaced without the need for costly repairs
  • There are many colors and shapes available to choose from

Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. These specialists are skilled in interlocking and laying blocks. It is better to hire a professional to lay your driveway than to attempt it yourself. You can also share your design preferences with them and they’ll help you choose a colour that will complement the rest on your property. The project’s length will depend on the area to which it needs to be paved. However, it is significantly faster than other driveway-surfacing options.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.

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

  • 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 Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • 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. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure for the entire drive.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is a porous material that is durable and can be used 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 is durable if it is well laid. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. 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 less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. 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.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. 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 become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. 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.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
