Those sloping drives common around Crystal Palace Park require careful planning when laying natural stone. Properties near Mayow Park often feature generous front gardens perfect for Indian sandstone or limestone installations. Material selection matters here - the clay soil typical of SE26 needs proper sub-base preparation to prevent future movement.
Granite setts create stunning borders whilst York stone offers that weathered charm many homeowners seek. Porcelain alternatives provide frost-resistance crucial during those damp Sydenham winters. Each stone type demands specific jointing compounds and sealants, particularly important given the mature trees lining streets like Westwood Hill.
