Block paved patios in Ryde: the local picture
Ryde 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.
Work in the Isle of Wight is by arrangement: we confirm availability and any travel charge before a visit, and many jobs can be priced from photos first.

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)
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Optional sealer
- Falls away from the house and doors
Before we price your block paved patio
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Ryde?
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.

What happens to my old patio or lawn?

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.
