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.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
What the survey covers
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in County Armagh?
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 Northern Ireland, front paving over 5 m² must be porous or drain within your boundary to be permitted development.
