Indian sandstone brings something special to South London gardens - that distinctive warmth you just don't get with concrete. Every slab tells its own story through natural veining and subtle colour variations. Here in Brixton, where space comes at a premium, a thoughtfully designed patio becomes your personal retreat from the bustle of Electric Avenue.
Proper groundwork makes all the difference between a patio that lasts decades and one that shifts after the first winter. Compacted MOT Type 1 base, precise levelling, jointing compound that handles our unpredictable weather - these aren't corners worth cutting. The natural grip of sandstone handles British rain brilliantly, making it perfect for those narrow side returns common in SW9's terraced streets.
Twenty years laying patios from Brixton Water Lane to Josephine Avenue teaches you what works. Local knowledge matters when you're navigating Victorian drains and dealing with London clay.

Most Brixton gardens fall into the £3,500-£7,000 range, though compact courtyards can start around £2,500. Larger Victorian plots or complex designs with steps might reach £10,000+.
Absolutely - from the Moorlands Estate in SW2 to the conservation areas near Brockwell Park. Regular projects across Tulse Hill, up towards Herne Hill station, and throughout central SW9.
Typically 5-8 working days for standard Brixton gardens. Smaller courtyards might finish in 3-4 days, while larger projects with retaining walls could stretch to two weeks.
Full decade coverage on installation - that includes any settlement issues or joint failures. The sandstone itself is virtually indestructible, but we stand behind our groundwork for ten years.
Brilliantly - unlike some materials that go green quickly, quality Indian sandstone resists algae even in those shady spots between terraces. A yearly clean keeps it looking fresh regardless of light levels.
