Planning a block paved patio in Wrexham
Wrexham 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.

What does a block paved patio involve?
Block suits patios that join a block drive or path, small or awkward spaces where large slabs would need too many cuts, and gardens where you want a pattern such as basketweave or a circle feature. We lay patios to fall away from the house and below the damp-proof course, with edging that stops the blocks creeping into the lawn.
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What we check on a Wrexham survey
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Steps, walls and changes of level
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Wrexham?
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.
