PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

A wider range of Permeable Block Paving is available for driveway and patio installations.

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 also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 Darfoulds plus these local areas and more:

This system allows the slow release of surface water back into its environment via a process known to be 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 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 will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. These bricks or blocks are made of clay, concrete or other composite materials. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways. The most popular is the herringbone pattern, which provides the strongest bond among all blocks because of their interlocking.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. It is simple to install and will produce stunning results. The homeowner is responsible for choosing the type of bricks and the arrangement of the blocks.

Because of its wide variety of benefits, block paving is the best choice for driveway solutions. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of. Block paving is a great choice for Dartford and other areas.

Block paving driveways are usually installed by driveway experts who have many years’ experience. They will know how to interlock blocks and lay them correctly. A driveway company will guarantee a flawless driveway, so you don’t have to try to do it yourself. You can also share your design preferences with them and they’ll help you choose a colour that will complement the rest on your property. 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. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.

The following factors are major determinants of the cost of block-paving driveways:

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour costs
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to your quote

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

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 a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. 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 eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

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. 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 driveways are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the 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.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. Concrete cracks may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, fully set surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.

Block paving is not fine for 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 – 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. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
