PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS
You can now choose from a larger selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving’ for your driveway or patio installation.
This permeable solution allows water to quickly drain into the under-base and slowly into the ground. It is ideal for Sustainable Drainage Sytems (SuDS), which reduces flooding potential.
This block paving type does not require planning permission.
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 Burrowsmoor Holt 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, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. Permeable pavement and SuDS balance the situation, allowing ground to absorb, store, then slowly release the water in controlled ways – just like a big 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%.

What Sand should I use for a Block Paving Driveway?
You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.
Kiln dried, sand is completely dried, without any moisture. This type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.
Is Block Paving Permeable?
Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.
How Long Does Block Paving Last?
Block paving is durable if it is well laid. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged.
