Brixton gardens work hard, from family patios to entertaining spaces after a night at Brixton Academy. Our limestone paving brings a clean, premium look that complements the area’s mix of styles, from Brixton Hill to Stockwell. We install durable, slip-aware paving that looks smart year-round and handles busy outdoor living. Expect crisp lines, careful levels and a finish that feels considered, not rushed.
We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, where outdoor spaces range from compact Victorian terrace courtyards to larger plots near Herne Hill. Limestone is a great match for Georgian proportions and modern developments alike, giving a calm, architectural surface without looking harsh. We help you choose tones that suit your brickwork and planting, whether you prefer cool greys or warmer cream shades. The result is a patio that feels like part of the property, not an add-on.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and drainage plan, then a proper sub-base and bedding for long-term stability. We cut and lay each slab for consistent joints, neat edges and safe falls away from the house. Once installed, we can apply sealing to reduce staining and make maintenance simpler. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and a finish that stays solid through the seasons.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means planning for tighter access, resident parking controls and timed deliveries, especially around Electric Avenue and busy routes. Many Brixton properties have stepped thresholds and basement lightwells, so we set levels carefully and manage drainage to protect the building. We also adapt designs for smaller courtyards common to Victorian terraces, maximising usable space without clutter. Where needed, we can coordinate waste removal and keep the site organised for neighbours.

For limestone paving in the Brixton area, installed prices typically range from £90–£160 per square metre, depending on stone choice, finish, access and groundwork. Most patio projects come in around £3,500–£8,000, influenced by the size, edging details, drainage requirements and whether you choose sealing. We provide a detailed written quote after checking levels, sub-base needs and site access.
Most limestone paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final clean-down, assuming straightforward access and average patio sizes. Timescales can extend if there’s extensive removal of old concrete, tricky levels around steps, or added drainage and edging. Weather can also affect laying and curing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated as each stage is completed.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering drainage, working near boundaries, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, permeable surfaces and runoff management are especially important. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise on compliant drainage solutions before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for limestone paving, covering installation-related issues such as sub-base failure, rocking slabs or joint problems when used and maintained normally. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and markings, which is part of its character, but we select and lay slabs carefully for a consistent finish. We’ll also explain aftercare, including sealing and cleaning, to protect your investment.
Popular options include Blue Limestone for a contemporary look, Grey Limestone for a softer neutral tone, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. Finishes include a honed finish for a smooth, modern feel and a tumbled finish for a more aged, characterful surface that suits period homes. We’ll help you choose sizes, laying patterns and edging details, and can add sealing to improve stain resistance and ease of cleaning.
