The railway heritage of this area means many properties feature long, narrow gardens perfect for zoned patio designs. Natural Indian sandstone offers remarkable versatility - from golden Raj blend tones that catch the afternoon sun to subtle grey Kandla that suits modern extensions. Each stone tells its own geological story, with fossils and mineral veining creating patterns no two slabs share.
Proper groundwork matters enormously given Morden's London clay substrate. A full excavation to 250mm allows for MOT Type 1 hardcore compacted in layers, ensuring stability through seasonal ground movement. Sharp sand screed provides the final bed, with each sandstone slab individually levelled and pointed using kiln-dried sand or resin-based jointing compound. Adequate drainage channels prevent standing water - crucial for preserving that natural stone beauty through wet winters.
Local knowledge counts when selecting stone thickness and laying patterns for SM4 properties. Years of working between St Helier estates and the leafier streets towards Lower Morden means understanding which designs enhance different architectural styles.

Sandstone performs excellently in shaded areas common to Morden gardens. Unlike some materials, it develops an attractive patina rather than becoming slippery. Regular brushing prevents organic buildup under trees.
