Indian Sandstone Patios in Westerham, Kent

We've all seen those patios that start to wobble or sink after a single winter, haven't we? That usually happens because someone took a shortcut with the 'dot and dab' method. At Prestige Home Improvements, we simply don't do that. We lay every slab on a full bed of mortar over a solid MOT Type 1 sub-base. It's the only way to make sure your stone slabs stay level and firm, even when the Westerham weather does its worst. Plus, we handle the drainage properly with ACO drains or soakaways, so you won't be left with puddles every time the North Downs catch a bit of rain.

Are you dreaming of a sleek, modern look or something a bit more traditional? We offer a range of stones like the popular Kandla Grey, which looks fantastic against modern render, or Raj Green, which has that classic Yorkstone feel perfect for period cottages. If you want something warmer, our Autumn Blend brings in those lovely browns and tans that glow beautifully when the sun hits them. Whether you prefer the rustic feel of a riven sandstone surface or the crisp, clean lines of sawn stone for a contemporary aesthetic, we'll help you pick the right fit for your landscape gardening project.

One question we get asked a lot is whether natural stone patios get slippery. Because riven sandstone has a natural, slightly textured surface, it actually offers great grip underfoot, making it a safe choice for families with kids or pets. It's also incredibly tough and frost-resistant, which is vital for our UK winters. We use professional-grade pointing compounds that bond the stone together and stop weeds from poking through, so you won't spend your weekends on your knees with a trowel. A quick wash with our professional power washing equipment every now and then is usually all it takes to keep it looking brand new.

Living in the shadow of the North Downs is lovely, but the local soil can be a bit tricky to work with. Since we're just down the road, we know exactly how to prep the ground in Westerham to ensure your garden pathways and patios stand the test of time. Why not have a chat with us?
