FAQs

What is the coverage per pack?

A pack of 300 Marshalls Drivesett Savanna® Concrete Blocks (240 x 160 x 50mm) covers approximately 11.52 square meters.

Can I mix colours within the same project?

Yes, the blocks are available in four vibrant colours, offering flexibility to create various patterns and designs. However, ensure colours within a design are from the same batch and factory to avoid unintended variations.

What is the difference between the 50mm, 60mm, and 80mm depths?

The 50mm depth is suitable for most domestic driveways and patios. The 60mm and 80mm depths are designed for heavier traffic applications, providing greater load-bearing capacity.

Is this product permeable?

The standard Savanna® block paving is not permeable. However, a Priora block option is available, which offers an attractive permeable solution without needing additional drainage.

How should I prepare the base for installation?

A properly prepared sub-base is crucial. This typically involves excavating the area, laying and compacting a layer of hardcore, followed by a layer of sharp sand as the bedding for the blocks.

Can I use this for a patio as well as a driveway?

Yes, the Savanna® block paving is suitable for both driveways, patios, and pathways due to its durability and aesthetic versatility.

What is the recommended way to lay the blocks for best results?

For optimal visual consistency and stability, it is recommended to blend blocks from 3 to 5 different packs and arrange them in vertical columns rather than horizontal rows.

Troubleshooting

Color variation between blocks

Ensure all blocks are sourced from the same factory and batch number. Blend blocks from multiple packs (3-5) during installation to create a more uniform appearance.

Uneven surface after installation

Verify that the sub-base was properly prepared and compacted. Ensure blocks are laid on a consistent sand bed and tamped down evenly.

Blocks chipping or breaking during installation

Ensure blocks are handled carefully. Use the recommended 10% extra order quantity to account for necessary cuts and occasional breakages.

Weeds growing through joints

Ensure joints are filled with kiln-dried sand and compacted. Re-sanding or using a weed killer specifically for block paving may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Best Practices:

Batch Consistency: For a consistent finish, always ensure your block paving is sourced from the same factory and batch number. Travis Perkins and Marshalls cannot be held responsible for issues arising from mixed batches.
Order Quantity: It is recommended to order approximately 10% extra to account for installation cuts, breakages, and future repairs.
Laying Technique: For best results, blend blocks from 3 to 5 different packs. Arrange them in vertical columns rather than horizontal rows to enhance the visual appeal and stability.

Compatibility:

These blocks are designed to be compatible with Marshalls Drivesett Savanna® Kerb units for a complete project.
Available in multiple depths (50mm, 60mm, 80mm) to suit varying traffic loads. Check depth requirements for your specific application.
The Priora block option offers a permeable solution.

Care:

Regular sweeping will remove surface debris. For stubborn dirt or stains, use a stiff brush and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the surface.
Moss or algae growth can be treated with a proprietary patio cleaner. Ensure the cleaner is suitable for concrete block paving.
