PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

This is a permeable paver solution that can be used in Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS). It allows water quickly to drain into the subbase, then slowly into soil. This helps reduce the potential for flooding and the risk of runoff.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and 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 North Muskham 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 drains, sewers, and other infrastructures override this natural process, making it impossible for the ground to absorb as much water as possible. 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 permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

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 completely guaranteed.

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. The most common material for laying block-paved driveways is kiln dried. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

Kiln dried, sand is completely dried, without any moisture. This type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block paving driveways will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. It is not recommended that concrete be laid with the intention of putting paving blocks on top. Remember that concrete beneath the block paving may change and impact the driveway’s overall quality. It may be more difficult to repair a damaged brick than to lay new concrete. 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.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. 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. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

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.

Can block paving be jet washed? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
