Planning a block paved patio in Bloxwich

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.
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Optional sealer
What the survey covers
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- 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 Bloxwich?
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.
