Paving and Patios for Homeowners

A badly maintained driveway with cracks and weeds growing out of it can give an impression of neglect and a home in need of some care.

Paving and Patio FAQs
Will I need planning permission?
If you are using paving that is permeable (or porous) you will not require planning permission. If you choose materials such as gravel, permeable concrete block paving or porous asphalt for your driveway, planning permission is not required. If the excess rainwater is directed to a lawn or border in order to drain naturally then planning permission is also not required.
Will weeds grow through my block paving?
When we excavate and prepare the area where your paving will be we use weed control in the form of a thick Geo-textile membrane beneath paving that is laid on a sand screed and under all gravel or bark areas. This will prevent any growth from below, however it is almost impossible to stop weeds from completely growing, at a surface level. We advise all customers that a weed killer is used periodically.
Paving and Patio FAQs
Is block paving difficult to clean?
Your paving will require very little maintenance. However, some paving finishes are easier to keep clean than others. Paving slabs or blocks with a riven surface will allow dirt to gather more easily, whereas smooth paving tiles are less prone to surface dirt. Porous materials like Sandstone will allow dirt to penetrate deeper into the stone naturally. This can add a desirable aged effect to your paving stones if your paving is being installed in a heritage property. Cleaning solutions are available to clean oil or tyre marks using a pressure washer. Giftedscapes also offer a patio and driveway cleaning service.
