Indian Sandstone Patios in Bollington, Cheshire East

What is it about Indian sandstone that makes it so popular in Cheshire East? For starters, it is incredibly hard-wearing. Unlike standard concrete flags that can fade and look a bit tired after a few years, natural stone actually gets better with age. We offer a variety of finishes to suit your style. If you love that traditional, rustic feel, a Riven finish with its natural, uneven surface is perfect. If you are after something a bit more contemporary, we can install honed or sawn edge slabs for a sleek, modern look. You might be wondering about colours. We find that Kandla Grey is a massive hit for modern homes in Bollington, while Raj Green or Autumn Brown blends beautifully with older stone properties. Every slab we lay is hand-picked and calibrated to a consistent thickness, making for a much smoother and more stable surface underfoot. Plus, it is naturally non-slip, which is a big bonus when the Cheshire weather decides to do its thing.

Most homeowners we speak to are worried about two things: drainage and sinking. We have all seen those patios where a few slabs have dipped, creating a trip hazard and a puddle every time it rains. The secret to a patio that stays level is all in what you cannot see. We do not just 'chuck it down.' Our team follows BS 7533 standards, which means we start with a proper excavation and a solid MOT Type 1 sub-base. We compact it thoroughly to create a foundation that can handle the weight without budging. We also make sure the drainage is spot on. Whether that means installing soakaways or channel drains, we ensure water flows away from your house, keeping your damp course clear and your garden puddle-free. It is this attention to detail that has earned us our reputation on Checkatrade and Trust a Trader. We treat your garden like it is our own, which means no shortcuts and a site that is left spotless when we are finished.

While we are experts in Indian sandstone, we know that a great patio is often just one part of the puzzle. Do you need a new brick wall to level out a sloped lawn? Or maybe some fresh garden fencing to give you a bit more privacy from the neighbours? We handle everything from the initial site clearance to the final jointing. We are licensed waste carriers too, so you do not have to worry about old flags or soil cluttering up your driveway—we whisk it all away. If you are not quite sure where to start, our garden design service can help you visualise the best layout for your space. We have worked on everything from tiny courtyard gardens to sprawling estates across Bollington, Tytherington, and Macclesfield. No matter the size of the job, the goal is always the same: a beautiful, low-maintenance space that adds genuine kerb appeal and value to your property.
