A limestone patio is a smart upgrade for outdoor dining, entertaining and low-maintenance gardens in SW17. We install premium limestone paving that complements the Victorian streets around Tooting Broadway and the open green feel near Tooting Bec Common. Expect crisp lines, stable levels and clean drainage details, not wobbly slabs or patchy pointing. The result is a patio that looks refined from day one and stays that way.
Tooting’s housing stock often means compact rear gardens, side returns and narrow access through Victorian terraces and mansion conversions. We’re used to working around cellar lightwells, steps, bay-window sightlines and existing brick boundaries common in Tooting Bec and Furzedown. Our team plans the layout to make the most of every square metre, including practical thresholds for bi-folds and kitchen extensions. If you want a contemporary look, honed limestone and tight joints work beautifully with modern glazing.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written scope, then prepare a proper sub-base and bedding for long-term stability. Falls are set for reliable run-off, edges are restrained, and joints are finished neatly for a premium look. We can apply sealing to help reduce staining and enhance colour, especially for lighter tones. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, straightforward communication and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
We know the access challenges around SW17, especially near Tooting Market and the busier streets by Tooting Broadway station. Our team plans deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Ground conditions can vary between made-up garden soils and older hardstanding, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. We also align drainage choices with London Borough of Wandsworth expectations and best practice.

In the Tooting area, limestone paving typically ranges from £90–£160 per square metre, depending on stone choice, finish, access and ground preparation. Most completed patio projects come in around £3,500–£8,000 for a standard rear garden space. Costs can rise if you need significant excavation, drainage improvements, steps or bespoke edging. We’ll itemise options so you can balance budget and finish.
Most limestone paving jobs take 3–5 days on site, assuming straightforward access and stable ground. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, rebuilding levels, adding drainage channels, or installing steps and retaining edges. Weather also plays a part, as bedding and jointing need suitable conditions. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated as the work progresses.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. That said, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where drainage affects the public highway. For front gardens, permeable surfacing and run-off control are particularly important. We’ll advise on the likely requirements in the London Borough of Wandsworth and can help you check before work begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our limestone paving installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, settlement due to installation defects, and problems with laying and jointing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural stone weathering beyond normal expectations. We’ll also explain maintenance and sealing options to help protect the surface and keep it looking its best over time.
Popular choices include Blue Limestone for a modern, architectural look, Grey Limestone for a softer contemporary tone, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. Finish options include a tumbled finish for a more traditional, aged character and a honed finish for a sleek, smooth feel. We’ll help you choose slab sizes, laying patterns and edging details, and can add sealing to enhance colour and reduce staining.
