Coulsdon gardens often open out to big skies and greenery near Farthing Downs and Happy Valley, so your paving needs to look natural and feel solid underfoot. Indian sandstone delivers that warm, premium look while staying practical for family use. We install patios, steps and pathway paving that suit both modern layouts and established plots. Every project is set out carefully so patterns, joints and edges look intentional, not improvised.
Homeowners across Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley typically want paving that complements large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments. We match stone colour and laying pattern to your brickwork, render and garden style, whether you prefer a traditional feel or a sharper contemporary finish. If your plot is sloped or has multiple levels, we’ll design transitions that feel seamless. The result is a terrace or path that sits naturally with the house rather than fighting it.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then we provide a clear written scope and options for colours and patterns. We build a proper sub-base, use calibrated stone for consistent thickness, and finish with professional pointing and sealing where appropriate. You’ll get tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Many clients choose us because we’re close by (around 20 minutes) and we keep communication straightforward from start to finish.
In the CR5 area we often encounter mixed ground conditions and sloping gardens, especially near Coulsdon Common and the downland edges. We adjust excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage falls to suit each plot, not a one-size approach. Access and parking can be tighter in Hooley and older streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working space in advance. We also keep finishes practical for outdoor living in a semi-rural setting—mud, leaf fall and foot traffic included.

For indian sandstone coulsdon area projects, expect roughly £80–£130 per square metre supplied and installed, depending on stone choice, pattern, access and groundwork. Typical total spend is often £3,000–£6,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-path scheme. Costs rise where significant excavation, retaining edges, steps or drainage are needed, or if you choose more intricate pattern designs and premium colour blends.
Most installations take around 3–5 days, but the exact timescale depends on size, site access and how much groundwork is required. Sloped gardens, old concrete removal, extra drainage, steps or complex pattern layouts can add time. Weather also plays a part, particularly for pointing and sealing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated if conditions change.
Most garden patios and pathways are permitted development, so planning permission is usually not required. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, or affecting drainage to the public highway. We also consider SuDS-friendly drainage where relevant. As part of our survey we’ll flag any potential issues and advise what to check with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty covering our installation workmanship, including the build-up and laying of the paving, stability of the sub-base, and issues caused by poor installation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also explain aftercare for sealing and cleaning so your sandstone keeps its colour and jointing stays in good condition.
Indian sandstone comes in a wide range of tones, from warm buff and honey to grey, autumn blends and deeper browns. We can lay it in popular patterns such as random coursed, single-size grid, or more decorative layouts with borders and feature strips. Calibrated stone gives a cleaner finish and more consistent levels. We’ll bring samples and help you choose a look that suits your home and planting scheme.
