Block paved patios in Yateley: the local picture
Yateley is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

What you get with our patios service
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.
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
Before we price your block paved patio
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Yateley?
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.

Yes. We cover Yateley and the places around it, including Fleet, Farnborough and Aldershot, and the rest of Hampshire.
Can the paving be level with the back door?
Paving normally sits at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course. A level step-out needs a drainage channel against the house and careful detailing, which we agree on the survey.
