Block paved patios in Deeside: the local picture
Deeside has a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many older patios here are ready to be replaced or re-laid.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
How much does a block paved patio cost in Deeside?
For Deeside, our guide is £75–£130 per m² including VAT, so a 20 m² patio is likely to be £1,700–£3,000. 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 patio is a garden seating or dining area paved with concrete or clay blocks on a compacted base. Because a patio carries people and furniture rather than cars, the sub-base is thinner than for a drive, but the falls, edging and drainage matter just as much.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
What we check on a Deeside survey
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Deeside?
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 Wales, new front paving should be permeable or drain within your boundary to avoid planning permission, and drives of 100 m² or more need SuDS approval.
