Relaying a Farnworth Yard: What Is Usually Under the Old Flags
Most garden work in Farnworth starts with taking something up rather than putting something down. The yard has been paved before, often more than once, and what was done last time decides most of this time.
A Town of Its Own, Three Miles From Bolton
Farnworth was a borough in its own right before it came under Bolton, and it still reads like a separate town: its own centre, its own BL4 postcode shared with Kearsley, two stations at Farnworth and Moses Gate, and the A6053 and A666 running through and past it.
Much of it is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing from the cotton years, with postwar estates further out towards Little Lever and the Walkden side. The terraces give compact, walled yards; the estates give longer gardens with fence lines.
Worth saying which you have when you enquire, because the two are quoted differently.
Keeping the New Surface Below the Back Door
On an older terrace the back door often sits only a step above the yard, and that step is the most important measurement on the job. Paving has to finish clear of the damp-proof course and fall away from the wall, which sometimes means digging deeper rather than building up.
It is why a yard cannot simply be paved over the top of what is there. Two layers of old flags plus a new base can lift the surface to where water sits against the house, and no amount of good paving fixes that afterwards.
Where the fall cannot be won, a channel drain across the back is the usual answer.
Breaking out is the messiest part of the job, and on a terraced street it has to leave before anything new arrives.
Some people spread the work instead — boundary this year, surface next.
Either way, patios and paving covers how the base is built, and the decking page is worth a look where a raised deck would solve a level the paving cannot.

Farnworth – Your Questions
Our Farnworth yard is old concrete from wall to wall. Can new paving go straight over it?
Sometimes, and only if three things are true: the concrete is sound, it falls the right way, and there is height left below the back door once the new surface is on top.
Fail any of those and it comes up.
The back step is barely above the yard. How high can the new surface finish?
Below the damp-proof course, with a fall running away from the house.
On a terrace with a low step that usually means excavating deeper rather than building up, and occasionally it means a drainage channel along the wall to take the water.
It is measured on the site visit because it decides the whole build-up.
The brick wall between us and next door is leaning. Rebuild it or replace it with a fence?
First find out whether it is yours, shared or entirely next door's, because that decides who can do what.
After that it is about whether the wall is only leaning or is also retaining ground behind it — a retaining wall is a structural job, not a boundary one.
We are on an estate on the Walkden side and cannot do it all at once. Can it be split up?
Gardens split into stages well enough as long as the order is right.
Digging, drainage and levels want doing first, because coming back to them later means lifting work you have already paid for. Boundaries, then surfaces, then planting and lawn wastes the least.
