Designing a Sandstone Garden Patio in Surbiton
1. Plan Your Design
Mark out your patio area using string lines and stakes for accuracy.

Pick colours and textures that suit your space:
– Warm, earthy tones for a rustic, traditional aesthetic
– Cool greys and sawn finishes for a sleek, contemporary feel
3. Prepare the Ground
Clear the Area: Remove grass, weeds, and debris
Excavate: Dig 150–200mm (6–8 inches) deep to allow room for your base layers

Sub-Base: Add 50–100mm (2–4 inches) of MOT Type 1 or crushed stone, compacting it thoroughly
Screed Layer: Spread 25–50mm (1–2 inches) of sharp sand and level it evenly
5. Lay the Sandstone Slabs
Start in a Corner: Follow your chosen laying pattern, leaving 5–10mm gaps between slabs
Set Each Slab: Tap gently with a rubber mallet and check levels frequently
Make Clean Cuts: Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for precise results
6. Joint and Seal
Fill the Joints: Use kiln-dried sand or a suitable jointing compound
Seal the Surface: Once dry, apply a high-quality sealant to protect the stone and enhance its natural colour
7. Finishing Touches
Style Your Space: Add furniture, outdoor lighting, or potted plants for a personal touch
Ongoing Care: Sweep regularly and reseal every few years to keep your patio looking pristine
