Over recent years we have seen the effects of climate change, harsh winters and flash flooding. Resulting in many families losing their homes and possessions. It is estimated that the 2007 summer flooding led to the damage of 55,000 homes and cost approx £3 billion.

The increasing use of impermeable materials has contributed to the flooding water pollution. Converting your garden into a functional driveway may not seem to make a difference, but should your neighbours also make this change to their property the combined effect can increase the risk of flooding.

The government introduced a new planning law on 1st October 2008 to preventfuture floods and protect local communities and homes from damage.

Should you wish to pave over your front garden you may now have to apply for planning permission, but to help you make the decision CEMEX have provideda summary on what your options are;

Planning permission will not be required;

• If you use permeable materials such as CEMEX ReadyFlowTM, Chelsea ReadyFlowTM or Barbican ReadyFlowTM on a new or replacement driveway of any size.

• Or, if the rainwater is directed to a lawn or border to drain naturally.

For our choice of permeable paving see pages 6-10. Or look out for this logo

You will only require planning permission for;

• Paving over your front garden.

• Should your required area exceed 5m2 and you would like to use conventional concrete block paving such as Chelsea, Barbican or ReadyRoad 60.

CEMEX provide a variety of conventional concrete block paving, see page 12 onwards.

Applying for planning permission

• It is responsibility of the homeowner to apply for planning permission before your landscaping project is due to start.

• You must submit plans with your applications.

• Planning applications cost £150, payable by the homeowner.

• It will take approx 8 weeks for a decision to be made on your application.

For further information and guidance visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk or www.planningportal.gov.uk.

Where to buy your paving

Before making that all important decision on style and colour, it is worthwhile ordering samples or visiting a display area at your local builders merchant. Viewing the actual product next to your property will confirm you have made the right choicebefore your landscaping project starts.

Hints & Tips

Design tips

• Use plants of varying heights to flood the garden with an abundance of charm

• Pave over unattractive concrete to visually soften the surface and make it appear less rigid

• Avoid overly straight walks which preclude imaginative planting

• Consider negotiating elevation changes in a walkway with steps rather than a slope

Practical tips

• With patios, decks and foundations it is vital that the square or rectangular base is made up of right angles, at least where intended. Use a builders square to check

• Ensure you never walk over the sand used for bedding, even if smoothed out, this will compress the sand in areas and give you an uneven finish over time

Finishing touches – Brushing-in Sand

• As in points 6 and 7 (previous column), kiln dried sand should be brushed over the entire area to completely fill the joints

• To ensure the optimum performance and appearance of your new landscape, use RugbyTM Kiln Dried sand which is graded to suit paving block applications. It is ideal for brushing-in, will fill joints completely (normally with one application) and will not stain your blocks like some quarry sands

Protecting your Finished Design

• Make the most of your finished drive or garden with ReadyGardTM, an environmentally friendly sealer which improves resistance to a wide range of contaminants including oil, grease, grime and liquid spillages. It also helps reduce build up of algae and makes cleaning easier

• ReadyGardTM dries to a satin/matt finish and is also acts as a joint sealant to help prevent jointing sand wash-out from joints

Laying for paths and patios

ReadyPave® paths and patios can add interest and diversity to your garden, but plan carefully. It’s important to have a plan of what you want to do and map out which areas are to be paved before you start.

1. Mark out the shape of the paved area using a string line and wooden pegs. Strip away the surface debris in the marked area, and dig out the surface to a depth of about 15cm (6”).

2. Compact the base with a post or heavy rake, but for large areas a plate vibrator can be hired.

3. The restraints of the paved area are made from concrete block pavers laid on their edge in a stacking bond, bedded on a damp mortar mix, checked with a spirit level. You can also use wooden battens secured in position – you will need to fix a temporary wooden batten against existing walls, to support the board used to strike the sand level.

4. When the edging course of bricks has set, the inner sections of the area are covered with a layer of dry sand 7-8cm (2 3/4-3”) deep. Use a length of wood to compact and level the sand, using the restraints or the temporary supports to determine the correct height.

5. Lay the pavers in the pattern you’ve decided on, laying a couple of square meters at a time. With some patterns, such as herringbone, you will have to cut some pavers to finish off the edges. This can be done with a block cutter (it’s best to hire this), or with a bolster.

6. Brush dry fine sand over the pavers, ensuring that as much as possible trickles between the joints. Repeat until no more sand seems to be accepted, then use a flat-plate vibrator to settle this sand between the joints.

7. Brush in more sand, and vibrate again, repeating until the paving is stable and no more sand is accepted. If you can’t hire a vibrator, you can use a board and mallet instead, but this is a more tedious method and not as satisfactory.

90º Herringbone

Stretcher Bond

Laying patterns

ReadyPave® concrete block paving is meant to be bedded on sand, not mortared into place like bricks or paving slabs. Their close-fitting design means they can be held firmly in position simply by vibrating sand in between the joints.

Definitions

• Laying Course (Bedding Course) A layer of sand that is screeded for bedding the pavers on

• Roadbase (when required) One or more layers placed above the sub-base that constitutes a structural element of a flexible or composite pavement

• Sub-baseA material of a designed thickness placed immediately above the Subgrade to give support to surface course. Sub-base course material can be compacted aggregate, cement or asphalt stabilised aggregate, asphalt or concrete

• Subgrade Improvement LayerA layer of granular or treated material at the top of the subgrade to provide a working surface and an improved foundation for the pavement, and to provide a wearing platform during construction

• SubgradePart of the soil, naturally or constructed, that supports the load transmitted by the overlying pavement

How to layReadyPave®

Block Paving

ReadyPave® block paving can be used for a diverse range of applications but you must always bear in mind the end use of the area you are planning. With driveways the stresses applied will be considerably greater than that of a patio for instance, and for that reason the structure will be different.


The ReadyPave® range of concrete block paving products from CEMEX is designed to recreate the beauty of natural stone. The product range offers design solutions for any commercial or domestic hard landscaping project, be it traditional, contemporary or simply practical.

CEMEX is a progressive, growing and forward-looking company. Our aim is to be the number one building solutions company in the UK in terms of quality, technical excellence and customer service.

Please Note

ReadyPave® is manufactured from natural materials and colour variations may occur. Colour consistency cannot therefore be guaranteed. Colours shown in this brochure are as accurate as print production methods allow. We suggest that the final choice of colours should be judged from actual samples of products. Due to continued development of our product range, we reserve the right to change specifications and designs without notice.

Liability in respect of any conditions, warranties, statements and representations made on behalf of the company is limited in accordance with the terms as set out in the standard conditions of sale, copies of which are available upon request.

Efflorescence

Efflorescence or ‘lime bloom’ is a temporary occurring phenomenon, which can sometimes occur in concrete products with a high cement content. The phenomenon may have the appearance of a milky white bloom on the surface of the product, and an apparent loss of intensity of colour may occur. Efflorescence disappears with time and is in no way detrimental to the strength, durability or performance of ReadyPave® products.

CEMEX cannot be held responsible for the temporary phenomenon of efflorescence.

Differential Drying

Darker patched may be present on the surface of the block, this is due to differential drying and will disappear over time. This is a result of the surface of the paver being cured at different rates and is no way detrimental to the strength, durability or performance of ReadyPave® products. CEMEX can not be held responsible for the temporary phenomenon.

All ReadyPave® products shown are manufactured to BS EN 1338:2003, are ideal for patios, paths, domestic driveways and lightly trafficked areas and are compatible with each other where the thickness remains constant.www.cemex.co.uk/readypave

responsible in everything we do, this is backed up by

our ISO 14001 accreditation.
