PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.

This block paving type does not 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 Newthorpe Common 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, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the 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 is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block Paving will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving is also known by the name brick paving. It’s a decorative method used to make a driveway or pavement. This type of paving uses bricks and blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials. Bricks can be used to make pavement. There are many patterns you can use, including the popular herringbone. This is because it creates the strongest bonds between blocks thanks to their interlocking.

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

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 to reduce movement risk.

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. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

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 should not be considered a permanent investment. They will provide a stylish drive that will last for many years.

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. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. It is important to keep in mind that any concrete changes below the block paving can impact the overall quality and may require a more complex repair than simply relaying a damaged block. Concrete cracks may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a 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. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

Yes! It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Block paving can be jet washed. – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
