Fine Landscaping installs limestone patios and paths across SW16, with many projects near Norbury station and along Norbury High Street. Limestone brings a clean, premium look that works in both compact courtyards and larger family gardens. We can design around steps, drains and planting beds so the paving feels purposeful rather than “added on”. Expect crisp lines, stable levels and a finish that’s comfortable underfoot.
Norbury’s mix of Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and Victorian conversions often comes with sloping gardens, older drainage runs and narrow side access. We plan layouts that respect existing thresholds and air bricks, and we set falls to move surface water away from the property. Where gardens meet extensions or garden rooms, we match levels neatly for a flush transition. The result is paving that looks right for the home and functions properly year-round.
Our process starts with a site visit, detailed measurements and clear recommendations on stone, finish and edging. We excavate to the correct depth, build a solid sub-base, and lay limestone with careful jointing before applying sealing where appropriate. You’ll get tidy working practices, straightforward updates and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for consistent standards and a patio that stays even and well-drained.
We’re based in Norbury, so we’re used to SW16 access constraints, parking considerations and short working windows on residential streets. In the London Borough of Croydon, we also pay close attention to surface water run-off and existing drainage, especially on plots near Pollards Hill. Where side passages are tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our builds are tailored to local property styles and typical garden levels.

For Limestone Paving in Norbury, most homeowners budget £90–£160 per square metre depending on the stone choice, finish (honed or tumbled), cut complexity and edging details. Typical total project costs are often £3,500–£8,000 for a patio including excavation, sub-base, laying and jointing. Sealing, steps, drainage channels or retaining edges can increase the overall spend.
Most limestone patio installations take around 3–5 days, depending on size, access and how much groundwork is needed. Time can increase if we’re removing old concrete, correcting levels, adding drainage, or building steps and raised planters. Weather can also affect progress, especially during sub-base preparation and jointing. After laying, we’ll advise on curing times before heavy furniture or barbecues go back.
In many cases, garden paving is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage to the public highway, or working near boundaries and shared access. For front gardens and drive areas, permeable drainage requirements are especially important. We’ll assess your site, advise on compliant drainage solutions, and flag anything that may require checking with Croydon Council.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our limestone paving installations. This covers issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, poor levels, or joints failing due to installation defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural stone variation, and sealing performance depends on maintenance and exposure. We’ll explain care requirements and, where sealing is chosen, recommend a re-seal schedule to keep the finish protected.
Popular options include Blue Limestone for a contemporary look, Grey Limestone for a versatile mid-tone, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. For texture, many clients choose a tumbled finish for a softer, aged feel, or a honed finish for a smoother, modern surface. We’ll help you pick sizes, laying patterns and edging to suit your home, and we can include sealing to reduce staining and enhance colour.
