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.
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What the survey covers
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Ewell?
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.
