Tobermore Hydropave Pedesta 60mm Permeable Block Paving
Tobermore Hydropave Pedesta 60mm is a rectangular permeable block paver for driveways. The 200 × 100 mm format gives you the familiar look of traditional block paving and works well in a herringbone pattern. Choose Bracken or Brindle for warmer tones, Charcoal for a darker finish, or Natural for a lighter, neutral look.
Hydropave Pedesta has joints designed to let rainwater pass through the surface into a permeable base. The familiar block shape makes it a practical choice if you want a traditional driveway layout with a paving system designed to manage surface water.
Key features
- Single-size 200 × 100 mm blocks for a regular, repeatable laying pattern.
- Smooth rectangular face suits straight runs and herringbone layouts.
- Four colours available from the dropdown. Each pack contains the selected colour.
Benefits
The single-size pack makes it easy to work out how many blocks you need and keep the pattern consistent across the driveway. If you prefer a layout with square and rectangular blocks, see Hydropave Shannon Duo.

Permeable driveway installation
Use a permeable sub-base, bedding layer and clean jointing aggregate specified for the driveway. The base design depends on your ground conditions and where the water can drain. Follow Tobermore’s installation guidance or ask your installer to confirm the build-up before ordering.
Ordering and delivery
Quantity 1 is one full 13.44 m² pack. A 30 m² driveway needs at least three full packs, before accounting for cuts. Allow for any additional blocks needed at edges and around drains. Bedding, jointing aggregate, sub-base and edging are supplied separately.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Pedesta for a herringbone driveway?
Yes. The 200 × 100 mm blocks suit herringbone. Plan the edging and cuts before you work out your final pack quantity.
Can I use ordinary kiln-dried sand in the joints?
Use the clean jointing aggregate specified for the Hydropave system. The joints need to stay open enough for water to pass into the bedding layer.
