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.
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What the survey covers
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Outside taps, lights and cables
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in County Londonderry?
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.
