PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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 are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with Driveline.

The blocks have a nib along the edge that interlocks to improve the surface stability. However, it creates voids which surface waters can easily pass through to a specially prepared base.

We work in Lound 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, 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.

One of the most common is the herringbone design, which allows for the strongest interlocking between the blocks.

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure for the entire drive.

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 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 highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This reduces the chance of people slipping on the surface. It also eliminates potential damage that water could cause if there is no drainage or water pooling.

Block paving is durable if it is well laid. Block paving will need to be maintained over time. But you can easily remove damaged blocks or areas rather than replacing 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 can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

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.

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 may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. 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.

You are able to use block paving if you have a sloped driveway. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. 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. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. 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.
