Catford's varied garden sizes, from compact courtyards behind terraced houses to sprawling plots near Mountsfield Park, each deserve thoughtful patio design. Indian sandstone offers that perfect balance – sophisticated enough for entertaining yet practical for everyday family life. The natural variations in fossil leaf patterns and warm honey tones complement both traditional brick boundaries and contemporary garden schemes found throughout SE6.
Proper groundwork matters enormously given Catford's clay-heavy soil and occasional drainage challenges near the Ravensbourne River. Each slab requires precise levelling on a hardcore sub-base, followed by careful pointing with weatherproof jointing compound. Fossil Mint, Autumn Brown, and Kandla Grey varieties each respond differently to our local climate – knowledge gained through years of installations from Rushey Green to Bellingham borders.
Local expertise means understanding which stone grades withstand freeze-thaw cycles common in SE6 winters. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a small pathway linking Edwardian semis or expansive entertaining areas overlooking Ladywell Fields.

Each sandstone patio carries decade-long coverage against installation defects, while the stone itself naturally resists weathering for generations when properly laid and sealed.
Quality sandstone features natural texture that maintains grip even when wet. Riven finishes provide excellent traction, making them safer than polished alternatives for SE6's changeable weather.
