Stone Paving & Outdoor Areas
Sandstone paths, stone patios, entry steps and garden walls that tie the outside of the house together. Laid on proper bases so they stay level.
Stone Paving & Outdoor Areas, done right.
Outdoor stonework takes a beating from weather, tree roots and foot traffic. The difference between paving that stays flat and paving that lifts is the base underneath. We prepare the ground properly, allow for drainage and set each stone to fall.
We often build outdoor areas as one package: a sandstone entry path, steps, low garden walls and a patio, all in matching stone.

Paths, steps and entries
A sandstone path and entry steps set the tone for the whole property. We build them to comfortable, consistent step heights with non-slip finishes.
Entertaining areas
Stone patios and courtyards laid on a solid base, with drainage that keeps water away from the house and steps and walls in matching stone.

Should sandstone paving be sealed?
Sealing helps resist staining and makes cleaning easier, especially in entertaining areas. We will recommend a product to suit the stone.
Can you lay stone over my existing concrete?
Often, yes, if the slab is sound and the levels work with your doors and drainage.
Do you build steps too?
Yes. We build sandstone and stone steps, landings and garden walls to match the paving.
How do you stop paving lifting?
A properly compacted base, the right bedding and drainage. Where tree roots are a risk we plan around them.
