Mitcham's mix of housing presents unique opportunities for stunning patio designs. From compact courtyard gardens near Figges Marsh to the generous plots backing onto green spaces, Indian sandstone adapts beautifully. The natural variations in colour - from buff and fossil mint to autumn brown - create visual interest that synthetic alternatives simply can't match.
Proper installation starts with understanding your garden's drainage patterns, particularly important given the clay-heavy soil common throughout CR4. A well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, precise levelling, and careful joint pointing ensure your patio withstands everything from summer barbecues to winter frost. Each stone gets individually bedded, allowing for the subtle undulations that give Indian sandstone its distinctive character.
Living locally means understanding how Mitcham gardens evolve through the seasons. Years of working across Colliers Wood and beyond have taught us which sandstone varieties weather best in South London's climate.

Raj blend and autumn brown complement the warm tones of London brick beautifully, while fossil mint offers striking contrast against rendered properties. The natural veining in quality Indian sandstone adds character without overwhelming smaller gardens.
