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.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.
- Blocks, cuts and jointing sand
- Steps formed where levels change
- Edging both sides, bedded and haunched
- Dig-out and compacted base
- Falls away from walls and to gullies

Do you need permission for a block paved path in East Riding of Yorkshire?
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 England, a front drive over 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border within your boundary.

Do I need planning permission for a block paved path in East Riding of Yorkshire?
Not usually for a patio or path behind the house. Raised patios, listed buildings and flats can be different, and paving in front of the house follows the front-garden rules. In England, a front drive over 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border within your boundary.
Can the paving be level with the back door?
Paving normally sits at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course. A level step-out needs a drainage channel against the house and careful detailing, which we agree on the survey.
