PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

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

The blocks have a nib along the edge that interlocks to improve the surface stability. However, it creates voids which surface waters can easily pass through to a specially prepared base.

We work in Scarrington 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 and drains bypass this natural process, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the water. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large soakaway.

Geotextile can be described as permeable fabric. It is used to separate sub-base from the ground. This allows the surface water through the fabric without losing sub-base.

Block Paving will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Block paving can be a great investment in your property. The price will vary depending on many factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

The following factors are major determinants of the cost of block-paving driveways:

  • 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 costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like 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. There will be maintenance needs over time. However, block paving allows you to simply replace a damaged block or section rather than having to replace 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 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. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. 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.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. Concrete cracks may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, fully set surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.

You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. Block paving can also be preserved with sealants or stain-resistant cover to keep its natural look. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. 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 – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. 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.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. 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.
