Planning a block paved patio in Hebburn
Hebburn is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.

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
- Optional sealer
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Falls away from the house and doors
Before we price your block paved patio
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Hebburn?
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.
