PERMEABLE PAVING AND 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.

Block paving like this does not require planning permission.

These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as Driveline.

Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.

We work in Rhodesia 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. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large 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 improve any residential or commercial garden. Our work is completely guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. This type of paving uses bricks and blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • 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. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary 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 is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

If laid properly, block paving will last a lifetime. There will be maintenance needs over time. However, block paving allows you to simply replace a damaged block or section rather than having to replace the entire driveway. 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 can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow 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. The driveway’s quality will be affected by any changes in the concrete beneath the block-paving. This may make it more complicated to replace a damaged one. Concrete cracks can become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, fully set surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

Yes! For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is essential that all blocks are completely dried and free from dirt or grime before applying any paint. 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 driveway is properly installed with solid groundwork, a deep sub-base and proper drainage, a sloped driveway can look great with block paving.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.

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. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
