Planning a block paved patio in Hull
Across Hull, gardens range from narrow terrace plots to wide modern ones, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.

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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
What we check on a Hull survey
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Hull?
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 England, a front drive over 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border within your boundary.
