Block paved patios in Selby: the local picture
Selby is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.

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.
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
Before we price your block paved patio
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Selby?
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.
