PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

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.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

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.

We work in Averham Park 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 sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. The SuDS and permeable pavers balance this process, allowing the ground’s natural ability to absorb, store and release the collected water in a controlled fashion – much like 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 will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating 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 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’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 the best option for your driveway due to its numerous benefits. It is typically more expensive than other driveway options, but can provide greater benefits and lasts longer if properly maintained. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • It will improve the appearance of your property.
  • Individual bricks and blocks are easily replaced without the need for costly repairs
  • You can choose from a wide variety of colors and shapes
  • Property value increases
  • The interlocking blocks between them make driveway surfaces more sturdy than other ones

Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. They will know how to interlock blocks and lay them correctly. It is better to hire a professional to lay your driveway than to attempt it yourself. You can also share your design preferences with them and they’ll help you choose a colour that will complement the rest on your property. It will vary depending on the size of your driveway, but the process is generally faster than other driveway surface options.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. Your new driveway’s cost will be affected by the quality of your block paving materials and professional installation. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. The cost of excavating the base and installing it should be included in your driveway price.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to your quote

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.

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 is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make 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.

If laid properly, block paving will last a lifetime. 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. It is possible to lift the bricks of block-paving bricks individually if they become cracked or broken, but this should not happen often. 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. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. 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.

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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. Block paving can also be preserved with sealants or stain-resistant cover to keep its natural look. It is essential that all blocks are completely dried and free from dirt or grime before applying any paint. 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 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? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low 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 can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
