PREPARING THE GROUNDWORK

Block Pavers Bebington (0151)

If your new block paved drive in Bebington is replacing an existing driveway, it's going to be necessary to first lift, remove and dispose of the old construction materials. It may be required to conduct additional excavations to ensure that building regulations covering the DPC (damp proof course) of your home are obeyed. The rules demand that new driveways are laid at least two brick courses below the current damp proof course of your building.

Approximately 230mm of soil will need to be dug out and disposed of if your block paved drive in Bebington is being installed over bare earth or grass. This will allow for the creation of a good sub-base and sharp sand layer, before any block pavers are laid.

INSTALLING THE SUB-BASE

The sub-base is made up of a sharp sand covered layer of MOT Type 1 crushed gravel and stones. The installation of a firm and stable sub-base is crucial to ensure your new driveway won't end up with dips and low lying spots where pools can form and cause you problems. Generally comprising limestone or granite which is firmly packed down to form a firm, sturdy and durable surface for your driveway, path or patio in Bebington, Type 1 is a form of crushed aggregate mixture.

This is the time where potential drainage issues will be addressed and sorted. To enable the water to drain off easily, a fall or incline, will be developed, if not already inherent in the lay of the land. This can be directed either away from your house or into purpose built drainage channels installed in between your home and the drive.

Sharp sand is added above the packed down sub-base Type 1 aggregate and levelled off to form a base for the pavers to be laid into.

DRAINAGE AND WATER RUN-OFF

Any driveway in Bebington which has an area of more than 5 square metres, must have the provision for excess water to run away to a permeable area close by. If this cannot be adhered to you will need to get planning permission from the local authorities to install your drive. Any water run-off from your driveway is not allowed to be diverted into the drainage system in order to avoid localised flooding.

To keep your new driveway within the law, an experienced Bebington block paving installation company will determine your requirements for drainage as part of the drive installation process and take any action that is necessary. This may require integrated drainage channels, a SUDS compliant permeable driveway and perhaps even the digging of a dedicated soak-away area on your land.

Additional drainage and design aspects might have to be considered if your house is inside the defined limits of a conservation area. To get guidance and advice through this procedure, you should seek the assistance of a decent block paving installation contractor in Bebington.

QUANTITY, COLOUR AND STYLE OF PAVERS

To suit any design and pattern of driveway you need, pavers come in a multitude of colours, sizes and shapes. From the commonplace and widely available, straight edged, square or rectangular paving blocks, to the more flamboyant, circular, diamond, s-shape and curved patterns, there'll surely be a style which matches your needs. You can match your drive colours with your property's brickwork, or create a striking feature with a completely different colour.

Tumbled Block Paving Bebington (CH62)

Traditional style pavers, better known as tumble or tumbled pavers, are available for older buildings in Bebington, to create a more seamless and sympathetic entrance to your home. These are pre-faded during manufacture and have a rustic and character look to their appearance. You can also obtain contemporary block pavers if you would like to create a more modern feel, and these can even have a high-gloss finish by applying a suitable block paving sealant.

The layout of your new block paving driveway in Bebington may be a straightforward square or oblong shape, or maybe you have existing features which it will have to weave its way around. Three of the most common paving designs are Basketweave, Herringbone and Stretcher Bond, although the laying of block paving can be completed in many patterns to achieve different effects. Whatever the design, a dependable block paving installer in Bebington will be able to build a quality driveway that looks amazing.

The installation of a block paving edging is also something to consider. Your local block paving installer will be delighted to chat about the finer points of raised edging, different shapes or colours, or if your new driveway even needs an edging.

THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE

When you get a quote for block paving installation, the charges for the removal of waste and soil and its correct method of disposal should all be included. The volume of existing driveway materials and soil that will need to be disposed of will be influenced by the overall size of your new driveway. Any excavated topsoil will have to be carried away by truck if it can't be used in other areas of your garden. Earth and old driveway materials that have been excavated during the installation must be disposed of in a sound, responsible manner at a registered site.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Most block paving installers in Bebington will encourage you to seal your new driveway after installation, although this is not essential. You will lengthen the lifespan of your block paved driveway by treating it, and also the sealer lowers the growth of algae, enhances the colour, keeps it from staining and prevents fading. The applying of an appropriate paving seal is the perfect way to secure the substantial investment you have made in your driveway.

Block paved drives must never be treated just after installation, because it is necessary for the jointing and sand to settle properly for a period of time. The suggested waiting time for applying seal to a new block paving drive is 6 months, and it is always best to use a specialist for this kind of project as it's difficult to rectify any errors with this process.

TO CONCLUDE

A block paving patio or driveway can transform the look of your home in Bebington. It can create a wonderful area to enjoy a durable barbeque and seating area in your garden, or provide a stable and hard wearing area for safely parking your vehicle.
