Those compact front gardens typical of Thornton Heath present unique opportunities for transformation. Natural stone offers durability that withstands everything from school-run traffic to delivery vans navigating our busy residential streets. Unlike concrete alternatives, each piece of sandstone or granite develops its own patina, ageing gracefully alongside the area's period homes. Properties near Brigstock Road particularly benefit from the enhanced kerb appeal that quality stonework provides.
Installation begins with excavating existing surfaces and establishing proper drainage – crucial given South London's clay soil. A compacted sub-base prevents future settling, whilst careful gradient planning ensures rainwater flows away from foundations. Individual stones are then laid in patterns that complement your property's architecture, with precision cutting around manholes and existing features. Joint pointing using kiln-dried sand or resin creates a stable, weed-resistant finish that requires minimal maintenance.
Years of working across Selhurst and Broad Green mean understanding which stone types perform best in our climate. Local knowledge matters when matching materials to Edwardian bay-fronted homes or modern developments near South Norwood station.

Typical CR7 driveways range from £85-150 per square metre installed, depending on stone selection. A standard two-car drive usually falls between £3,500-6,000, whilst front paths average £800-1,500.
Absolutely – from the conservation areas near Grangewood Park to newer estates around Bensham Manor, we've installed natural stone across every corner of Thornton Heath and surrounding districts.
Most residential installations complete within 5-8 working days. Larger drives or complex patterns might extend to two weeks, weather permitting.
Every project includes decade-long coverage for workmanship and installation integrity. Natural stone itself often outlasts this period significantly – we've seen local installations still pristine after 25+ years.
Indian sandstone proves exceptionally popular locally, offering excellent slip resistance and colour retention. Granite provides supreme durability for high-traffic areas, whilst limestone creates sophisticated pale tones that brighten shaded front gardens.
