PERMEABLE BLOCKING & 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.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and Driveline.

Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.

We work in Welham 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 balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large 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.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.

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 a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is a porous material that is durable and can be used for 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 is durable if it is well laid. 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 products are also designed for prevention.

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. 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. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

Can block paving be jet washed? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact 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. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom.
