Earlsfield's mix of family homes and converted flats often share one challenge - making the most of compact outdoor areas. Indian sandstone offers the perfect solution, with its rich colour variations from golden buff to autumn brown complementing both traditional brick and modern render. The natural stone's distinctive riven texture provides excellent grip during those sudden London downpours, while its thermal properties keep surfaces cooler than concrete alternatives during summer.
Installation requires understanding how SW18's heavy clay soil behaves through the seasons. A properly constructed sub-base prevents the settling issues common in this area, while correct jointing compounds accommodate the stone's natural movement. Each slab gets individually levelled - crucial given the slight variations in thickness that make Indian sandstone so characterful. Proper drainage channels direct water away from your home's foundations, particularly important given the slope towards the Wandle valley.
Twenty years of working across Wandsworth means knowing which suppliers stock the highest grade Rajasthan sandstone. Local projects from Garratt Lane to Magdalen Road showcase how this natural material enhances every garden style.

Absolutely - from the Wandsworth Common end right through to properties near Earlsfield station. Regular projects across Burntwood Lane, Wimbledon Park Road and the residential streets between mean we know the area inside out.
Most Earlsfield gardens see completion within 5-8 working days. Larger designs or those requiring significant levelling might extend to two weeks, weather permitting.
Every patio carries decade-long coverage against installation defects. The sandstone itself proves incredibly durable - properly sealed surfaces resist staining whilst maintaining their natural appearance through years of British weather.
Lighter shades like Mint or Kandla Grey brighten north-facing spaces common behind terraced properties. These paler tones reflect available light without looking washed out, while their subtle fossil patterns add interest without overwhelming smaller gardens.
