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 also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 Worksop 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, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. 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, 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 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.

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method to create a driveway or pavement. The bricks or blocks that are used for this kind of paving are made out of clay or concrete. Other composite materials may also be used. Bricks are a great way to create many different patterns of paving. One of the most common is the herringbone design, which allows for the strongest interlocking between 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. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of. Here are some benefits of block paving Dartford, or anywhere else.
Block paver driveways are often installed by driveway specialists who have many decades of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways. You won’t be able to achieve a perfect driveway if you do not hire a company to help you. They can help you pick the right colour for your property by letting you know the design and pattern that you prefer. It will vary depending on the size of your driveway, but the process is generally faster than other driveway surface options.
Block paving can be a great investment in your property. The price will vary depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.
The following are the main factors that influence the price of block paving driveways:
You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.
Kiln dried Sand is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of 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 porous material that is durable and can be used for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.
If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. 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 tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.
It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. 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 be affected by the freeze/thaw cycle. You may need to replace the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.
As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.
You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.
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.
Can block paving be jet washed? – 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. 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 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. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
