What does a block paved patio involve?
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.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.
- Optional sealer
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
What the survey covers
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Worcestershire?
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.
