PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

The range of “Permeable Block Paving” is even better for patio or driveway installation.

This is a permeable paver solution that can be used in Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS). It allows water quickly to drain into the subbase, then slowly into soil. This helps reduce the potential for flooding and the risk of runoff.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Upton 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 Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

Geotextile is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block Paving is a great way to enhance your garden, whether it’s a commercial or domestic one. It also provides a clean walkway for family members, friends and employees. Our work is completely guaranteed.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. 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 is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like 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. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. It is possible to lift the bricks of block-paving bricks individually if they become cracked or broken, but this should not happen often. Block paving driveways are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

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. 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.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.

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.

You are able to use block paving if you have a sloped driveway. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low pressure. Over-pressure washing your driveway can damage the sand, which holds it in place. You will end up with loose blocks or an uneven surface. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

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. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
