What to know before a block paved patio in Warrenpoint
Warrenpoint is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

What you get with our patios service
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.
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
What the survey covers
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Warrenpoint?
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.
