What does a block paved patio involve?
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.
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Jointing sand and compaction
What the survey covers
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in County Tyrone?
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.
