PERMEABLE PAVING AND SUDS

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.

Block paving like this 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 Cropwell Butler 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 drains, sewers, and other infrastructures override this natural process, making it impossible for the ground to absorb as much water as possible. 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 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 guaranteed 100%.

Q and A's

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method to create 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. You can create many different patterns with bricks. The most popular one is the herringbone. Bricks are used for pavement because they provide the strongest connection between all the blocks.

Block paving driveways are a popular choice among homeowners in the UK. It has been around since the 1980s. It is simple to install and will produce stunning results. It is a very popular choice because it allows homeowners to choose the brick patterns and styles that they want, as well as how they arrange the blocks.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installations, and the required groundwork will all affect the price of your new driveway. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation, waste disposal: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in your quote

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block-paved driveways are usually laid 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 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 porous material that is durable and can be used for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This reduces the chance of people slipping on the surface. It also eliminates potential damage that water could cause if there is no drainage or water pooling.

Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. Block paving will need to be maintained over time. But you can easily remove damaged blocks or areas rather than replacing the entire driveway. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block paving driveways are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. 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. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. 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.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – But you should be careful and not use too much pressure. If you pressure wash your driveway with too strong a force, it can cause cracks in the sand and result in uneven or loosed blocks. 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. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
