Block paved patios in Sutton-in-Ashfield: the local picture
Homes in Sutton-in-Ashfield include plenty of semis and detached houses with gardens big enough for a patio and a path to the gate.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
Before we price your block paved patio
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Steps, walls and changes of level
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
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.
