What to know before a block paved patio in Leominster
Leominster is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

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
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
What the survey covers
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Leominster?
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.
