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%.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. This type of paving uses bricks and blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways.

  • 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.

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.

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.

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. 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 has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow between the paving blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. 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 negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

Yes! For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.

Block paving can be jet washed. – 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. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime.
