PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with Driveline.

Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.

We work in Rolleston 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 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 can be used to improve any commercial or domestic garden. You will also have a well-designed walkway for guests, family, and staff members. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving is also known by the name brick paving. It’s a decorative method used to make 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 have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. 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 paver driveways are often installed by driveway specialists who have many decades of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways.

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

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

  • * Materials
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This type of sand doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. 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 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 white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. It is not recommended that concrete be laid with the intention of putting paving blocks on top. 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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.

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. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – But you should be careful and not use too much 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 can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
