Project Overview
We recently completed this full patio transformation in Accrington, replacing a tired and uneven paved area with a stunning new Indian Sandstone patio designed for durability, drainage, and visual appeal.
The existing patio had seen better days, with worn slabs, poor levels, and limited definition around the garden. Our team stripped back the area and carried out full ground preparation to ensure a long-lasting, stable base before installing the new surface.
Materials & Design
For this project, the customer chose Indian Sandstone in the Bundi colour, a popular option thanks to its warm, natural tones and subtle colour variation. The sandstone was laid in a random pattern to create a natural, flowing finish that complements the garden and property.
To frame the patio and add structure, we installed paver edging, helping to keep everything securely in place while giving the area a crisp, defined edge. Golden gravel was added to surrounding sections to improve drainage and provide a clean contrast against the sandstone.
Steps & Finishing Touches
To improve access from the property, we also installed bullnose key kerb steps, creating a smooth, safe transition between levels. These steps not only improve usability but also add a premium finishing touch to the overall design.
Laying the Indian Sandstone Patio
The Indian sandstone slabs were carefully laid by hand, with attention paid to alignment, spacing, and overall layout. Natural stone patios require experience and precision, as each slab has unique colour tones and surface textures.
Our team worked methodically to create a balanced, visually pleasing pattern while maintaining consistent levels throughout the patio. This approach delivers both aesthetic appeal and long-term durability.
Jointing & Finishing Details
After the slabs were securely in place, the patio was finished using professional jointing, sealing the gaps between slabs to improve strength and weather resistance. This not only enhances the appearance of the patio but also helps prevent weed growth and water ingress.
Edging and finishing details were completed to neatly integrate the patio with the surrounding garden, creating a smooth transition between outdoor spaces.
Completed Patio Transformation
The result is a bright, spacious, and practical patio area, perfect for outdoor seating, entertaining, and everyday use. The combination of Indian Sandstone, clean edging, and decorative gravel has completely transformed the garden into a low-maintenance and visually striking space.
