Designing a Sandstone Garden Patio in Maidenhead
Transform your outdoor space with a stunning sandstone patio. Follow these simple steps to ensure a professional finish that stands the test of time.
1. Plan Your Layout
Mark It Out: Use string lines and wooden stakes to define the patio area with precision.
Design Details: Consider adding steps, edging stones, or decorative borders to elevate the final look.
2. Choose Your Sandstone Style
Select a tone and texture that complements your space:
Warm & Rustic: Earthy hues with riven finishes suit traditional gardens.
Cool & Contemporary: Sawn edges and grey tones offer a modern edge.
3. Prepare the Ground
Clear the Site: Remove grass, roots, and any debris.
Excavate: Dig 150–200mm (6–8 inches) deep to make space for the sub-base and bedding layers.
Ensure Drainage: Create a gentle slope away from buildings to avoid water pooling.
4. Build a Solid Foundation
Sub-Base Layer: Lay 50–100mm (2–4 inches) of compacted MOT Type 1 or crushed stone.
Screed Layer: Add 25–50mm (1–2 inches) of sharp sand, then level it to form a stable bed.
5. Lay the Slabs
Start in a Corner: Lay slabs according to your chosen pattern, maintaining 5–10mm gaps.
Set with Care: Tap each slab gently with a rubber mallet and check levels as you go.
Cut Cleanly: Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for smooth, accurate cuts.
6. Jointing & Sealing
Fill the Gaps: Use kiln-dried sand or a specialist jointing compound.
Seal for Protection: Once joints are dry, apply a quality sandstone sealer to enhance colour and guard against stains.
7. Add the Finishing Touches
Style Your Space: Incorporate outdoor furniture, lighting, or planters to complete the look.
Maintain It Well: Regular sweeping and resealing every few years will keep your patio in top condition.
