What is included?
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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
- Falls away from walls and to gullies
- Steps formed where levels change
- Blocks, cuts and jointing sand
- Dig-out and compacted base
- Edging both sides, bedded and haunched
What the survey covers
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
Do you need permission for a block paved path in Dundee and Angus?
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 Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within your boundary at any size, and permitted development does not apply in conservation areas.
