Stone paving suits Colliers Wood's mix of period homes and newer developments perfectly. From compact front gardens near Tandem Centre to the larger plots backing onto Wandle Park, each project demands careful material selection. Yorkshire sandstone remains popular here, though Indian limestone offers excellent value for those renovating typical three-bed semis.
Installation begins with proper excavation - crucial given SW19's clay-heavy soil that shifts seasonally. A compacted sub-base prevents future movement, while precise laying ensures rainwater flows away from foundations. Edge restraints keep everything locked tight, particularly important for driveways handling daily vehicle loads. Polymeric jointing sand finishes the job, creating weed-resistant gaps between stones.
Twenty years laying stone across South London means understanding local ground conditions intimately. Every Colliers Wood garden presents unique drainage challenges that generic contractors often miss.

All stonework carries decade-long protection covering both materials and installation. This includes settlement issues, joint failures and any defects in the stone itself.
Dense stones like granite and quality sandstone handle our wet winters brilliantly. Softer limestones need sealing but develop attractive patinas. Avoid porous imports that can flake during frost cycles.
