PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

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.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and 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 Swingate 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 or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. 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%.

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. 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 to make pavement. There are many patterns you can use, including the popular herringbone.

However, it is significantly faster than other driveway-surfacing options.

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. Price will vary depending on where you live.

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

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure 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 doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

If laid properly, block paving will last a lifetime. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. 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 are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow between the paving blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. 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.

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. 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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.

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.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

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. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
