Paved garden area (5)
I believe the answer is:
patio
'paved garden area' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for patio that I've seen before include "Exterior paved area" , "Paved area beside house, often in back garden" , "Barbecue location?" , "Place to sit" , "Paved eating area adjoining house" .)
