Natural Indian sandstone brings timeless elegance to South London gardens, particularly complementing the period properties scattered across Streatham Common. The stone's unique colour variations – from sunset golds to cool greys – create patterns that shift beautifully in different lights. Each flagstone tells its own geological story, formed over millennia and now ready to enhance your outdoor living.
Installation begins with proper ground preparation, essential given the clay-heavy soil common between Tooting Bec Common and Streatham Hill. A compacted sub-base prevents future movement, while careful gradient calculations ensure rainwater flows away from your home. Individual stones are hand-selected and positioned to create natural flow patterns, with pointing that withstands freeze-thaw cycles without cracking.
Twenty years laying patios across South London teaches you which properties need extra attention – like those sloping gardens near Furzedown Recreation Ground. Local knowledge matters when you're dealing with mature tree roots and Victorian drainage systems.

Absolutely – from the conservation areas near Streatham Common station right through to the residential streets bordering Mitcham. Regular projects in both SW2 and SW16 postcodes mean we know every supplier and skip company locally.
A typical Streatham garden transformation takes 5-8 working days, weather permitting. Larger projects incorporating steps or retaining walls might extend to two weeks.
Your patio carries decade-long protection against installation defects – that's ten years of peace of mind. The sandstone itself is naturally frost-resistant and maintains its beauty with minimal maintenance.
Unlike concrete alternatives, genuine Indian sandstone actually improves with age, developing a lovely patina. Its natural thermal properties keep it cooler underfoot during summer, while the stone's inherent grip provides year-round safety even when wet.
