Indian Sandstone Patios

Natural Indian sandstone patios in classic and modern tones.

Indian sandstone is the UK’s most popular natural patio material — beautiful natural variation, hard-wearing, and surprisingly affordable.

We lay calibrated Indian sandstone on a full mortar bed with priming slurry for a strong, long-lasting bond. Joints are pointed with weather-resistant brush-in or hand-pointed mortar.
