PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

You can now choose from a larger selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving’ for your driveway or patio installation.

This permeable paving solution is for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) schemes. It allows water to drain quickly into the subbase and then slowly into ground. This reduces the risk of flooding local areas.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 Awsworth plus these local areas and more:

This system allows the slow release of surface water back into its environment via a process known to be 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. 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 can be described as permeable fabric. It is used to separate sub-base from the ground. This allows the surface water through the fabric without losing sub-base.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method to create a driveway or pavement. Bricks and blocks used in this type of paving can be made from clay or concrete. Sometimes, other composite materials are also used. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways. The most popular is the herringbone pattern, which provides the strongest bond among all blocks because of their interlocking.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic results. This is why it is so popular. The homeowner can choose from a variety of patterns, brick sizes, and block arrangements.

Block paving can be a good choice for your driveway solution due to the many benefits it provides. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • It will improve the appearance of your property.
  • You can easily replace individual bricks or blocks, without needing to make costly repairs
  • There is a large selection of colors and shapes you can choose from
  • Increases your property’s market value
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways. 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. While the overall length of the project depends on the area that must be paved it is generally shorter than other driveway surfacing options.

Block paving can be a great investment in your property. The price will vary depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

Block Paving Driveway Costs:

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. The cost of excavating the base and installing it should be included in your driveway price.
  • Labour costs
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to your quote

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 locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

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. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike 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. There will be maintenance needs over time. However, block paving allows you to simply replace a damaged block or section rather than having to replace the entire driveway. You can easily lift individual blocks of block paving bricks if they are cracked or damaged. But with regular maintenance this should be rare. Block paving driveways are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. 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.

Concrete can be used to lay block paving, but this is very dependent on the concrete’s condition. 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 may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

Block paving is not fine for a sloped driveway. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Can block paving be jet washed? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. To jet wash your block pavers, be careful and do it at a 45° angle. This reduces the pressure on your sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
