Expert Sandstone Patios & Paving
Transforming Gardens in Chadwell Heath, Barking and Dagenham

Absolutely! Sandstone is a hugely popular choice for new patios across the UK, and for good reason. Its natural beauty, with unique variations in colour and texture, creates a warm, inviting look for any garden. Every stone slab is a little bit different, meaning your patio will have a distinct character that really makes your outdoor space special. It’s not just about aesthetics; sandstone is also a sturdy paving material that stands up well to our changeable weather, offering a timeless feel for your garden project.

When installed correctly, sandstone paving is incredibly durable. It’s a natural stone formed over millions of years, giving it inherent strength. The real secret to a long-lasting sandstone patio lies in the foundations. We make sure the groundworks are solid and expertly prepared, with a properly compacted sub-base and a robust mortar bed. This thorough approach means your patio will withstand years of family life, entertaining, and various weather conditions. We take pride in our work and believe solid foundations are key to its longevity.

The beauty of sandstone lies in its versatility. It comes in a wonderful array of natural shades, from warm buffs and subtle greys to rich reds and mixed blends, so you can achieve many different looks. Whether you're aiming for a traditional country garden patio or something more contemporary, there's a sandstone colour and finish to match. You can choose riven (naturally textured) for a classic feel, or honed (smooth) for a sleeker, more modern aesthetic. Our team can help you explore the options and choose the best style that complements your home and garden.

All natural paving stone patios benefit from a bit of care, and sandstone is no exception. It’s generally easy to look after. Regular sweeping helps keep it clear of leaves and debris, and an occasional wash down with water and a stiff brush (or a pressure washer on a low setting) will keep it looking fresh. We often recommend sealing your sandstone after installation. This helps protect it from stains and can make it even easier to clean, keeping that beautiful new look for longer.

Our team has over 10 years experience in laying patios, and we follow a meticulous process for every sandstone project. It all starts with those crucial foundations, making sure the ground is perfectly prepared. We then expertly lay each paving stone slab, paying close attention to levels, falls (for drainage), and precise pointing. We use only high-grade materials to bond the slabs and fill the joints. Our guaranteed workmanship means you can trust that your new sandstone patio will be beautiful, durable, and built to the highest standard for customers like you.
