Those grand period properties throughout SE21 deserve outdoor spaces that match their architectural heritage. Natural sandstone creates that perfect bridge between your home's character and garden design. Each piece tells its own geological story through subtle colour variations and authentic textures. Local homeowners increasingly recognise how this material complements both traditional brickwork and contemporary extensions.
Proper installation demands understanding both the stone's properties and Dulwich's clay-heavy soil conditions. Adequate drainage becomes critical when working with natural materials in SE22's sloping gardens. The substrate preparation involves compacting layers of MOT Type 1, followed by sharp sand screed for precise levelling. Indian sandstone's natural slip resistance makes it particularly suitable for our unpredictable British weather.
Years of working across East Dulwich to Herne Hill means knowing exactly which suppliers provide consistent quality stone. Every project benefits from relationships built with quarries that understand British standards and expectations.

Most SE24 gardens see costs between £95-130 per square metre fully installed. A typical 35sqm patio for a Victorian terrace usually falls within £3,300-4,500, including groundwork and pointing.
Absolutely - from the tree-lined streets of West Dulwich through to the bustling cafes of East Dulwich. Regular projects span SE21's Dulwich Village, SE22's Lordship Lane area, and SE24 towards Herne Hill.
Weather permitting, most installations finish within 5-8 working days. Larger Victorian properties with complex drainage requirements might extend to two weeks.
Each installation carries decade-long protection covering both workmanship and structural integrity. This includes settlement issues, pointing failures, and any drainage problems that might arise.
Raj Green offers subtle earthy tones that beautifully complement Victorian brickwork, while Kandla Grey provides contemporary contrast. Autumn Brown creates warmth without clashing with traditional terracotta features common in SE21 properties.
