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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Optional sealer
What we check on a Burntwood survey
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Burntwood?
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?
Old slabs, concrete or turf are dug out and taken away, listed as its own line on your quote.
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.
