PERMEABLE BLOCKING & 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 block paving type does not 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 Little Carlton plus these local areas and more:

This system allows slow releases of water into the environment through a process 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 can be described as permeable fabric. It is used to separate sub-base from the ground. This allows the surface water through the fabric without losing sub-base.

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. Our work is guaranteed 100%.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. 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 sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. If a block paving brick is cracked or damaged, it can be lifted separately. However, with regular maintenance, this should not be an issue.

Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. 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.

Concrete can be used to lay block paving, but this is very dependent on the concrete’s condition. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. Concrete cracks can be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

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. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If the foundation is solid and the sub-base deep enough, a sloped driveway may look beautiful with block pavement.

Jet washing block paving is possible – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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.
