The garden work includes: - Porcelain patios: 130 square metres of porcelain on a 2026 job, and a Worcestershire patio prepared for porcelain in May 2026. - Multi-level patios with steps and raised beds, built on a Worcestershire extension job in 2026. - Sandstone-style paving with timber [sleeper steps](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/glossary/#sleeper-steps) (July 2024). - A new lawn, a few low walls and a [soakaway](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/glossary/#soakaway) for a regular customer (June 2026). - Old decking taken out and replaced with steps and a brick wall. - Garden clearance in Solihull (September 2025) and a landscaping job in Stourbridge (February 2026). ## A patio on more than one level **A patio on two levels, from above** Upper and lower patios joined by steps, with a raised bed. Drawing, not to scale. ## How is a patio base prepared? The ground is dug out and a compacted sub-base laid, with a fall so rainwater runs away from the house. Porcelain slabs are dense and take in very little water, so they are laid on a full bed of mortar, usually with a primer on the back of each slab to help it bond. Levels, steps and walls are set out before any slab goes down. On a Worcestershire porcelain job in May 2026, the base was prepared in stages before the slabs went down. > Great progress by the team on our Worcestershire job in the preparation for the porcelain. Great project to watch grow. Liam · May 2026 ## Can the patio be part of a bigger job? Yes. One Worcestershire customer had it all done in steps through 2026: Brick2Brick UK built the extension, then the multi-level patio and landscaping, and Fence2Fence UK finished with a new fence. See [the extension, patio and fence](https://brick2brick.co.uk/projects/worcestershire-extension-patio-and-fence/). > From the extension to the patio. Great work by the teams Liam · 2026 ## What about drainage in the garden? Water has to go somewhere. A soakaway is a pit filled with rubble or crates that lets rainwater soak slowly into the ground; the team put one in with a new lawn in June 2026. On another job they laid new channel drains with a new concrete slab. See [groundworks](https://brick2brick.co.uk/groundworks/). ## Do you need planning permission for a patio? In a front garden, the Planning Portal says a hard surface of more than 5 square metres needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border. It notes that patios and driveways away from the front garden have different rules, so check with your council.
