Designing a Sandstone Garden Patio in Notting Hill
Transform your outdoor area with the timeless charm of sandstone. Follow these simple steps to achieve a professional-looking patio that’s built to last.
1. Plan Your Patio Layout
Mark It Out: Use string lines and wooden pegs to map out your patio’s dimensions and shape.
Add Design Features: Think beyond the basics—include edging stones, steps, or decorative borders to elevate the look and functionality.
Choose Your Sandstone Finish
Traditional & Rustic: Opt for riven textures in warm buffs and earthy tones—perfect for classic garden styles.
Sleek & Modern: Select sawn-edge slabs in cool greys or uniform shades for a clean, contemporary vibe.
3. Prepare the Ground
Clear the Area: Remove all turf, plants, and debris.
Excavate Properly: Dig to a depth of 150–200mm (6–8 inches) to allow room for both the sub-base and bedding layers.
Plan for Drainage: Ensure the patio slopes slightly away from your home to prevent water buildup.
4. Build a Strong Foundation
Sub-Base Layer: Lay 50–100mm (2–4 inches) of compacted MOT Type 1 or crushed stone for strength and stability.
Screed Bedding Layer: Top with 25–50mm (1–2 inches) of sharp sand or mortar and level it out for an even surface.
5. Lay the Sandstone Slabs
Start from a Corner: Begin laying slabs in your chosen pattern, maintaining even gaps of 5–10mm.
Level & Tap Gently: Use a rubber mallet to secure each slab in place and check alignment as you go.
Cut with Precision: For edges or tricky angles, use a wet saw with a diamond blade for smooth, accurate cuts.
6. Joint & Seal for Longevity
Fill the Gaps: Brush kiln-dried sand or a specialist jointing compound into the joints.
Seal the Surface: Once joints are dry, apply a high-quality sandstone sealer to protect against weather, staining, and fading.
7. Add the Finishing Touches
Style Your Space: Complete the transformation with furniture, garden lights, pots, or decorative features.
Maintain the Look: Sweep regularly and reseal every few years to keep your patio looking fresh and vibrant.
