PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

A wider range of Permeable Block Paving is available for driveway and patio installations.

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 available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well Driveline.

The blocks have a nib along the edge that interlocks to improve the surface stability. However, it creates voids which surface waters can easily pass through to a specially prepared base.

We work in Hill Top 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, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. The SuDS and permeable pavers balance this process, allowing the ground’s natural ability to absorb, store and release the collected water in a controlled fashion – much like 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 improve any residential or commercial garden. Our work is guaranteed 100%.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. Block paving materials, professional installations, and the required groundwork will all affect the price of your new driveway. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.

The following are the main factors that influence the price of block paving driveways:

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • Groundwork or base: Block Paving driveways require a foundation. It is typically made from crushed stones and similar materials. The sub-base is compacted to provide a solid base. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation & Waste disposal: Other activities such as digging up your driveway or disposing of any waste materials will be included in your quote.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. 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 type of sand doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. 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. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like concrete. This eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. 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. 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 can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Once you have spotted any growth, you can use any commercial weed killer product. Some of these products are also designed to prevent future growth.

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. 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. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. 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.

Yes! To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with 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.

Jet washing block paving is possible – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush.
