What does a block paved patio involve?
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
- Optional sealer
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
Before we price your block paved patio
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Warwick?
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.
