How much does a block paved path cost in Lincolnshire?
For Lincolnshire, our guide is £90–£160 per m² including VAT, so a 12 m² path is likely to be £1,250–£2,200. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.
- Blocks, cuts and jointing sand
- Edging both sides, bedded and haunched
- Steps formed where levels change
- Falls away from walls and to gullies
- Dig-out and compacted base
What the survey covers
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
Do you need permission for a block paved path in Lincolnshire?
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.

Paths in Lincolnshire: questions
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.
Do you cover Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
Is the survey in Lincolnshire free?
Yes, for new paving here: the survey and written quote are free with no obligation. Repairs and cleaning are usually priced from photos, or from a short visit where needed.
How long does a block paved path take?
Most patios and paths take two to five working days, depending on the size, any steps and the dig. Your quote gives the expected duration.
