Planning a block paved patio in Uxbridge
Uxbridge has everything from small terrace yards to big gardens on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout, the levels and the dig.
A patio or path needs the same care underneath as a drive: a compacted base, edges set in concrete and falls that take water away from the house.

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.
- 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)
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Jointing sand and compaction

Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Uxbridge?
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.
