Planning a block paved patio in Hyde
Homes in Hyde include plenty of semis and detached houses with gardens big enough for a patio and a path to the gate.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

What is included?
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.
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
Before we price your block paved patio
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Trees and roots near the paving
- 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
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Hyde?
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.
