Fine Landscaping installs premium Indian sandstone patios and pathways across SW17, from Tooting Bec to Tooting Broadway. Whether you want a dining patio near the back doors or a smart path to the side return, we build a solid sub-base and finish with neat pointing. Many homeowners around Tooting Bec Common choose sandstone for its natural variation and slip-resistant texture. We can also add sealing for easier cleaning and colour protection.
The indian sandstone Tooting area suits the character of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, where outdoor space needs to work hard. We regularly design layouts that maximise narrow gardens, create level thresholds, and improve drainage around older brickwork. If you’re updating a tired concrete slab or uneven flags, sandstone gives a warmer, higher-end finish without looking out of place. We’ll help you match tones to your brick, render or garden planting scheme.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear written specification, including edging, falls and waste removal. Installation typically takes 3–5 days, with careful excavation, compacted MOT Type 1 base, and a stable bedding layer before the calibrated stone is laid. We finish with professional pointing and optional sealing, then walk you through aftercare. Local homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means planning for tight access, resident parking controls and skip placement, especially near Tooting Broadway station. We schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and protect shared pathways in mansion conversions. Ground conditions vary, so we set correct falls and drainage to prevent standing water after heavy rain. Our detailing also suits period façades common in Furzedown and Tooting Graveney.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Indian sandstone in Tooting, most homeowners budget £80–£130 per square metre, depending on stone choice, access, edging and the amount of groundwork required. Typical total project costs often fall between £3,000 and £6,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-path scheme. Costs can rise if levels need correcting, old concrete must be removed, or extra drainage and steps are required.
Most Indian sandstone patio or pathway projects take 3–5 days on site, assuming straightforward access and reasonable weather. Time can increase if we’re excavating deep, dealing with poor ground, building retaining edges, or installing drainage channels. Large areas, intricate pattern designs, and curing time for pointing can also extend the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and measurements.
In many cases, garden patios and paths are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or your property is listed or within a conservation area. Drainage is also important: permeable solutions or correct run-off management may be required. We’ll advise on practical compliance and check any relevant London Borough of Wandsworth considerations before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our Indian sandstone installations, covering issues such as movement caused by sub-base failure, loose paving due to incorrect bedding, and pointing defects linked to installation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural weathering and colour change over time. We also give aftercare guidance for cleaning and resealing so your patio keeps its finish for longer.
Indian sandstone comes in a wide range of tones, including buff, grey, autumn blend and darker charcoal options, with natural variation that suits period gardens. We can lay calibrated stone in random course, stretcher bond, or more decorative pattern designs to fit your space. Pointing colour and sealing options can subtly change the final look. We’ll bring samples and help you choose a combination that complements your home and planting.
