Designing a Sandstone Garden Patio in Kensington

Mark out the area using stakes and string for accuracy.
Consider adding features like steps, edging, or decorative borders to enhance the design.

Pick colours and finishes that suit your style—warm, earthy tones for a traditional look, or cooler greys for a modern feel.

Base Layer – Compact 2–4 inches of MOT Type 1 or crushed hardcore.
Sand Layer – Add 1–2 inches of sharp sand and level it with a screed for a smooth base.

5. Lay Your Sandstone Paving
Start at a Corner – Follow your pattern, leaving 5–10mm gaps between slabs.
Secure in Place – Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each slab level.
Cut with Precision – Use a diamond blade wet saw for any necessary adjustments.

6. Finish the Surface
Jointing – Fill gaps with kiln-dried sand or a jointing compound.
Seal the Paving – Once dry, apply a sealant to enhance colour and protect the surface.

7. Add the Finishing Touches
Style It – Add furniture, lighting, or planters to complete the look.
Maintain It – Sweep regularly and reseal when needed to keep your patio looking fresh.

With proper installation, sandstone offers long-term resilience, aging gracefully while adding natural character to your garden for years to come.
