What to know before a block paved patio in Deganwy
Deganwy is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
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.

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.
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Falls away from the house and doors
Before we price your block paved patio
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be

- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Deganwy?
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.
