A practical approach to granite & sandstone patios
With natural stone, the small details make a big difference. Slab sizes, colour variation, joints, edging and the direction of the paving all affect the finished look. Underneath, the base and falls need to be right so the patio feels solid underfoot and water moves away from the house.
Natural stone can sit particularly well with Dublin’s mix of red-brick, rendered and older stone homes. It also works nicely where a garden needs to feel established rather than overly polished or uniform.
What can be included
- Granite and sandstone patio installation
- Natural stone paths, steps and feature areas
- Layouts planned around doors, lawns, walls and planting
- Proper base preparation and drainage falls
- Edging and jointing chosen to suit the overall finish
