SUDs legislation has lead to a increase in options for permeable paving when taking up your garden to add extra parking spaces or make it maintenace free.
Block paving -laid on a screed of gritsand is many peoples favourite method-but the sand washes away and the joints fill with atmospheric pollution causing weeds and moss regrowth.
Stabilised gravel is becomming popular because of its decorative nature,ease of installation and maintenace.The ground is prepared in the conviential way,a grid of hexagonal cells made from polypropylene with a geotextle base to prevent weed growth is interlocked together and the gravel is added.The grid prevents sinking,migration and rutting associated with loose gravel.
If stabilised gravel doesnt appeal,resin bound aggregates are the answer,gravel mixed with a clear polyurethane binder is trowled smooth to form a seamless surface which allows the water to percolate into the ground.
