Overview
About Indian Sandstone Patios
Indian sandstone is the most popular patio stone in the country for good reason: the riven surface has real texture and colour variation, and it settles in next to brick and render rather than looking brand new. It usually comes in a mix of sizes, which we set out dry on the ground before laying so the pattern does not repeat obviously in one corner. Every slab goes onto a full mortar bed, because a slab on dabs is a slab that will rock.

The process
How the job runs
- 1
Set out where it should go
We work out where the sun lands in the afternoon, how the patio meets the back door, and what has to be dug out or built up to reach a level surface.
- 2
Dig out and prepare
The area is excavated, a compacted base is laid, and the finished height is set clear of the damp proof course so water can never track back into the wall.
- 3
Lay to a fall
Paving is bedded on full mortar, not on dabs, with a fall running away from the house. Slabs on dabs are the reason patios rock and joints crack.
- 4
Finish and walk it with you
Joints are filled, the edges finished against the lawn or border, and once the surface is washed down we walk the patio with you and go through how to keep the paving and jointing looking good.
