PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

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.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and 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 Markham Moor 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 sewers and drains bypass this natural process, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the water. 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 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. Our work is completely guaranteed.

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

Kiln dried Sand is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike 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 can be used for many years if laid correctly. 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.

Some of these products are also designed to prevent future growth.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. 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 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.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly.

You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match 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. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Can block paving be jet washed? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
