PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS
For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.
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 type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.
These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 Eastwood Hall 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, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the 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 can improve any residential or commercial garden. We stand behind all of our work.
We can provide a free quote for your paving job. To assess the groundwork and to determine the scope of the work required, we will conduct a no-obligation site survey. Once we have completed the survey, you will receive a quote for your project at a very competitive price.

How much does block paving cost?
Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.
The following factors are major determinants of the cost of block-paving driveways:
- * Materials
- The base or groundwork: Block paver driveways require a subbase. This is usually made from crushed stone and other similar materials. Once the base has been compacted, it can be used to build a stable foundation. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
- Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
- Excavation & Waste disposal: Other activities such as digging up your driveway or disposing of any waste materials will be included in your quote.
What Sand Should You Use for a Block Paving Driveway?
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 of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.
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’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.
Is Block Paving Permeable or Not?
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.
How long does block paving normally last?
If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. 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 are a great investment that will last a lifetime.
How to prevent weeds growing in Block Paving?
Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving 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.
Can Block Paving be placed on Concrete?
Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. It is not recommended that concrete be laid with the intention of putting paving blocks on top. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. Concrete cracks can become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.
Can Block Paving Be Laid in Winter?
No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.
Can Block Paving Driveways be Painted?
Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.
What should I do when my driveway is on a sloped surface?
You are able to use block paving if you have a sloped driveway. If the driveway is properly installed with solid groundwork, a deep sub-base and proper drainage, a sloped driveway can look great with block paving.
How do you clean a driveway made of block pavers?
Can block paving be jet washed? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.
How to clean a block paved driveway without pressure washing?
Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush.
