PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

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.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.

These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as Driveline.

The blocks have an edge nib that allows for surface stability. But it also creates voids where surface water can easily run through to a special sub-base.

We work in Car Colston 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 or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. The SuDS and Permeable Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

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 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.

Block Paving Driveway Costs:

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • The base or groundwork: Block paver driveways require a subbase. This is usually made from crushed stone and other similar materials. Once the base has been compacted, it can be used to build a stable foundation. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. Each block of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.

Kiln dried Sand is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This type of sand doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.

Block paving is durable if it is well laid. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block Paving driveways should not be considered a permanent investment. They will provide a stylish drive that will last for many years.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. 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.

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. Remember that concrete beneath the block paving may change and impact the driveway’s overall quality. It may be more difficult to repair a damaged brick than to lay new concrete. Concrete cracks can be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, fully set surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

Yes! For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

Block paving is not fine for a sloped driveway. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Jet washing block paving is possible – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low 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. To jet wash your block pavers, be careful and do it at a 45° angle. This reduces the pressure on your sand. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
