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 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 Farndon 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 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 is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. 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 sand has no moisture and is totally dry. It also has a fine texture that makes it perfect for packing block paving blocks. This sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways.

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. 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 tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught 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.

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