Coulsdon's mix of Victorian terraces and modern developments each present unique opportunities for outdoor living. Those sloping gardens typical of CR5? Perfect for creating multi-level patios with natural stone steps. Whether you're working with the generous plots found near Coulsdon Common or maximising a townhouse courtyard, thoughtful design makes all the difference.
Material selection depends on your home's character and intended use. Indian sandstone complements period properties beautifully, whilst porcelain tiles suit contemporary extensions. Proper groundwork prevents the settling issues common on Coulsdon's clay soils – excavating to the correct depth, installing appropriate sub-base layers, ensuring efficient drainage. These fundamentals determine whether your patio remains level for decades or develops puddles after the first winter.
