PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & 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.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Winkburn plus these local areas and more:

This system allows slow releases of water into the environment 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. 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, 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. We stand behind all of our work.

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. Bricks can be used to make pavement. There are many patterns you can use, including the popular herringbone. This is because it creates the strongest bonds between blocks thanks to their interlocking.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. It is simple to install and will produce stunning results. It’s a popular choice due to the wide variety of brick patterns and styles available, along with almost every aspect of the process.

Block paving is a great choice for your driveway because of its many benefits. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of.

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. 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. The cost of excavating the base and installing it should be included in your driveway price.
  • Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • Excavation, waste disposal: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in your quote

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure for the entire drive.

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 highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly 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. 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. 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 can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. Any commercial weed-killing products can be used once you have detected any growth. Some of these products also contain a preventative component to help with future growth.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. Concrete should not be laid just to place paving blocks over it. It is important to keep in mind that any concrete changes below the block paving can impact the overall quality and may require a more complex repair than simply relaying a damaged block. Concrete cracks can become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. It is essential that all blocks are completely dried and free from dirt or grime before applying any 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 it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Block paving can be jet washed. – 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. 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. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
