Kandla grey sandstone patios for two neighbours in Kew
Neighbours Caroline and Jo in Kew had both their back gardens redone together. We took out the old paving, put in a new base and laid 53m² of Kandla grey Indian sandstone in a project pack: around 30m² for Caroline and 23m² for Jo. New eco drains connect to the gully, and six new closeboard fence panels went up on wooden posts. Ten days, £13,000 including VAT for both.

Where we started
The brief
Caroline and Jo live next door to each other in Kew, and both wanted the old paving in their back gardens replaced. The two gardens were done as one project.
Using the same stone on both sides gives the two gardens a matching finish, with a new fence running between them. It is a good example of the patios in Richmond and fencing in Richmond work we do in the area.
