Indian sandstone is a standout choice for Streatham gardens, offering natural colour variation and a premium feel underfoot. Whether you’re updating a tired patio near Streatham Common or creating a clean route from the back door to the lawn, we design and install paving that suits your space. Our team can build everything from compact seating areas to generous entertaining terraces. We also lay matching pathways to tie the garden together.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often have long rear gardens that benefit from well-zoned paving. Mansion flats and modern apartments in SW16 and SW2 can still gain a practical, attractive outdoor area with the right levels and drainage. We regularly work around bay windows, garden steps and narrow side returns, keeping access and waste removal organised. The aim is a patio that looks right with period brickwork and performs well year-round.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on stone size, colours and patterns. Groundworks are done properly: excavation, compacted sub-base, accurate falls, then calibrated stone laid for consistent levels. Pointing is finished neatly and we can seal where appropriate to help reduce staining and make maintenance simpler. Fine Landscaping backs installations with clear workmanship standards and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re on site quickly from Norbury and know the practicalities of working across the London Borough of Lambeth. In Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste collection to minimise disruption. Many gardens have mixed ground and old hardstanding, so we excavate to the right depth and build a stable sub-base. We also set levels carefully to protect air bricks and thresholds common on period homes.

For Indian sandstone in the Streatham area, budgets typically fall between £80 and £130 per square metre installed, depending on stone grade, thickness, pattern and site access. Most patio projects come in around £3,000 to £6,500, influenced by excavation needs, waste removal, steps, edging and drainage adjustments. We’ll survey and provide a detailed breakdown so you can compare like-for-like.
Most Indian sandstone installations take 3–5 days, though larger or more complex designs can take longer. Timescales depend on the size of the patio or pathways, how much existing paving needs lifting, and whether we’re building steps, retaining edges or improving drainage. Weather can also affect curing times for bedding and pointing. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or the property is listed or within a conservation area. Drainage matters too—surfaces should not cause runoff onto the highway. We’ll advise on best practice and check any Lambeth requirements relevant to your address before installation.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our Indian sandstone installations. This covers issues related to installation quality, such as unstable areas caused by inadequate base preparation, poor falls, or pointing failures due to workmanship. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering of the stone. We’ll also explain aftercare, including cleaning and sealing guidance, to keep the finish looking its best.
Indian sandstone comes in a wide range of tones, including warm buff, autumn blends, grey, and multi-colour mixes. We can install calibrated paving in popular patterns such as random length, coursed rectangles, or a clean contemporary grid, with optional borders and edging details. Pointing colour makes a big difference to the final look, and sealing can be added for extra stain resistance. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your property style.
