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.
Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.
These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as 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 Bingham 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 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 is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.
Block Paving is a great way to enhance your garden, whether it’s a commercial or domestic one. It also provides a clean walkway for family members, friends and employees. Our work is completely guaranteed.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. Concrete should not be laid just to place paving blocks over it. 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 can be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

You will end up with loose blocks or an uneven surface. To jet wash your block pavers, be careful and do it at a 45° angle. This reduces the pressure on your sand.
