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.

  • Drainage: falls, channels, gullies and soakaways
  • Access for a digger and dumper, or by hand through the house

  • VAT: hard landscaping is building work, charged at the reduced 13.5% rate by a VAT-registered business unless materials are more than two-thirds of the price — ask whether a quote includes VAT
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
