Dulwich gardens deserve paving that complements their refined look, from Dulwich Village to East Dulwich. Our Indian sandstone patios and pathways bring warm, natural texture that sits beautifully alongside brickwork, planting and outdoor lighting. Whether you’re near Dulwich Park or SE21, we design layouts that feel considered and practical. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and a finish that looks right year-round.
We regularly work across SE22 and SE24 where Georgian and Victorian houses, plus larger detached properties, often have generous rear gardens and side access constraints. Indian sandstone is a strong choice for these homes because it balances character with durability. We can match tones to traditional façades, or introduce contrast for modern extensions and garden rooms. Every build starts with a proper assessment of levels, drainage and how you use the space.
Our process covers careful excavation, a stable sub-base, calibrated stone laying and neat pointing for a crisp, consistent finish. We offer optional sealing to help reduce staining and make routine cleaning easier. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, keep the site orderly, and communicate clearly from design to handover. With our local team only 20 minutes away, aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
Working in the indian sandstone in London Borough of Southwark means planning for narrow drives, controlled parking and careful waste removal. In West Dulwich and around Dulwich College, access can be tight, so we schedule deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. We also account for typical clay-heavy ground and tree roots common near established gardens, building a sub-base that stays stable. Levels and drainage are set to reduce standing water and protect nearby brickwork.

For indian sandstone dulwich area projects, budget around £80–£130 per m² supplied and installed, depending on stone choice, pattern complexity and site access. Most Dulwich patio or pathway builds fall between £3,000 and £6,500, influenced by excavation depth, waste removal, edging details, and whether you choose sealing. We’ll survey levels and drainage first, then provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most Indian sandstone patio installations take 3–5 days for an average garden area, assuming reasonable access and settled weather. Timings can extend if we’re replacing old concrete, correcting significant level changes, or adding steps, curves and intricate pattern designs. Drying times for bedding and pointing also matter, particularly in colder months. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before we start and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering drainage in a way that affects surface water run-off. We’ll advise on permeable options, falls and drainage channels where needed, and we can help you check any Southwark-specific requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our Indian sandstone installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty. It covers issues such as lifting, rocking or sinking caused by incorrect preparation, sub-base failure, or poor laying and pointing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy impact, or lack of routine maintenance, and natural colour variation is part of the stone’s character. We’ll explain care guidance and what’s included at handover.
Indian sandstone is available in a wide range of tones, including warm buff, grey, autumn blends and darker charcoal mixes. We can install classic random coursed layouts, contemporary linear patterns, or more decorative designs with borders and contrasting edging. Calibrated stone helps keep surfaces even, especially near doors and steps. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend a design that suits your home and garden.
