Paving and patios: what the job involves
Laying a patio, path or driveway in concrete slabs, porcelain, natural stone, block paving or gravel. What decides whether it lasts is under the surface: the dig-out, a compacted sub-base, the falls that carry rainwater away from the house, and the drainage.
How long it takes: Three days to two weeks, depending on area and material; a deep dig-out, manual-only access or rain on a mortar bed adds days.
The full guide to paving and patios — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.
