What does a block paved path involve?
A block paved path is a narrow strip of block paving for walking: a front path, a route round the garden or a side passage to the bins. Paths are where edge restraints matter most, because a narrow strip has a lot of edge and very little middle to hold it.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Dig-out and compacted base
- Falls away from walls and to gullies
- Edging both sides, bedded and haunched
- Blocks, cuts and jointing sand
- Steps formed where levels change

Do you need permission for a block paved path in County Fermanagh?
A patio or path behind the house does not usually need planning permission. Raised patios, listed buildings and flats can be different, so we check on the survey.
Paving in front of the house follows the front-garden rules: in Northern Ireland, front paving over 5 m² must be porous or drain within your boundary to be permitted development.
