PERMEABLE PAVING AND SUDS

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 is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Rolleston 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, 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 permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's

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.

One of the most common is the herringbone design, which allows for the strongest interlocking between the blocks.

The following are the main factors that influence the price of block paving driveways:

  • * Materials
  • Groundwork or base: Block Paving driveways require a foundation. It is typically made from crushed stones and similar materials. The sub-base is compacted to provide a solid base. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like 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. If a block paving brick is cracked or damaged, it can be lifted separately.

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. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for 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. 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 be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. 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.

Can block paving be jet washed? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
