What is included?
We set edging both sides in concrete, keep steps and changes of level safe and even, and make sure side passages fall away from the house walls and air bricks. Curves are laid with the blocks cut to follow the line rather than leaving ragged edges.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
- Blocks, cuts and jointing sand
- Edging both sides, bedded and haunched
- Dig-out and compacted base
- Falls away from walls and to gullies
- Steps formed where levels change

Do you need permission for a block paved path in Hampshire?
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.
