A wider range of Permeable Block Paving is available for driveway and patio installations.
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.
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 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. Can You Lay Block Paving On Soil?
We work in Newark-on-Trent 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. 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 is a permeable fabric that is laid to separate the sub-base and ground. It allows water to pass through the surface without causing any loss to the ground.
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. We stand behind all of our work.

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. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways. The most popular is the herringbone pattern, which provides the strongest bond among all blocks because of their interlocking.
Block paving driveways have been a popular choice for homeowners in the UK since the 1980s. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful aesthetic 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 a great choice for your driveway because of its many benefits. Block paving can be more expensive that other driveway surfacing options. However, it can last longer than other options and can offer more benefits if cared for properly. Here are some benefits of block paving Dartford, or anywhere else.
Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. These professionals are trained to install blocks correctly and interlock them in the right way. It is better to hire a professional to lay your driveway than to attempt it yourself. They can help you pick the right colour for your property by letting you know the design and pattern that you prefer. It will vary depending on the size of your driveway, but the process is generally faster than other driveway surface options.
Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. Price will vary depending on where you live.
Block Paving Driveway Costs:
The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. 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 very popular due to its high permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks 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. 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 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. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.
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. 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 be affected by the freeze/thaw cycle. You may need to replace the entire driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.
No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.
You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.
Block paving is not fine for a sloped driveway. If the driveway is properly installed with solid groundwork, a deep sub-base and proper drainage, a sloped driveway can look great with block paving.
Jet washing block paving is possible – 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. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.
Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
