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
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
What the survey covers
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Lytham St Annes?
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.
