Planning a block paved patio in Clevedon
Clevedon is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
How much does a block paved patio cost in Clevedon?
For Clevedon, our guide is £80–£140 per m² including VAT, so a 20 m² patio is likely to be £1,850–£3,200. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
Before we price your block paved patio
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Clevedon?
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.
