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.
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What the survey covers
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Steps, walls and changes of level
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Pudsey?
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.

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.
