Planning a block paved patio in Gosport
Gosport has everything from small terrace yards to big gardens on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout, the levels and the dig.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

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
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What we check on a Gosport survey
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Gosport?
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.
