Designing a Sandstone Garden Patio in Wareham
Transform your outdoor space with the natural charm of Indian Sandstone. Whether you're after rustic warmth or a sleek, contemporary edge, here’s how to build a patio that’s both beautiful and built to last.
1. Design Your Layout
Mark It Out: Define the shape using string lines, pegs, or spray paint. Measure carefully and check symmetry.
Add Features: Think about edging, curved borders, or steps to boost both form and function.
2. Pick the Perfect Sandstone
Traditional Look: Go for riven slabs in warm buffs, sandy tones, or mixed colours for a classic, weathered finish.
Modern Style: Choose sawn or smooth sandstone in soft greys or neutrals for clean, contemporary lines.
3. Ground Preparation
Clear the Area: Remove grass, weeds, roots, and debris.
Dig to Depth: Excavate around 150–200mm to allow for a proper foundation.
Plan Drainage: Slope the surface slightly (1:60) away from your home to prevent water build-up.
4. Lay a Strong Foundation
Sub-Base: Spread and compact 50–100mm of MOT Type 1 or hardcore.
Bedding Layer: Add 25–50mm of sharp sand or a full mortar bed (5:1 mix) and level it out.
5. Lay the Slabs
Start at the Edge: Work from a corner and follow your chosen pattern.
Level as You Go: Use a rubber mallet and spirit level to set each slab flush.
Cut Precisely: Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for neat edges and corners.
6. Jointing & Sealing
Fill the Gaps: Use kiln-dried sand or a jointing compound in 5–10mm gaps.
Seal It: Apply a UV-stable, breathable sealer to protect from stains, algae, and fading.
7. Finish & Maintain
Add Personality: Style with furniture, lighting, and planters to make it your own.
Keep It Looking Great: Sweep regularly and reseal every few years to maintain its beauty and durability.
The Journey of Sandstone: From Nature to Garden
Crafted by nature over thousands of years, sandstone is a material rich in history and character. Formed from layers of quartz and minerals, each slab carries its own unique blend of textures, tones, and veining—ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same. The result? A one-of-a-kind surface that brings timeless beauty and authenticity to any outdoor space.
Our sandstone is ethically quarried from trusted locations, then precision-cut and hand-finished by skilled artisans. This thoughtful process preserves the stone’s natural character while enhancing its durability—delivering a product that’s as sustainable as it is stylish.
Whatever your design vision, there’s a sandstone finish to suit:
Honed – Smooth and matte, ideal for sleek, minimalist landscapes.
Polished – Glossy and elegant, great for refined, modern spaces.
Textured – Gritty and grippy, offering natural slip resistance for patios, pathways, and driveways.
Made to Last
Sandstone isn’t just beautiful—it’s built to withstand the elements. Naturally resistant to frost, wear, and weathering, it matures with grace, adding long-term value and enduring appeal to your outdoor design.
