Sandstone patio rebuild, Whitchurch, Bristol

Mark Hamlin — Mon, 21 May 2018 19:36:39 +0000

New-build home but with tired and undersized patio containing unsightly drain covers. Old patio removed and replaced with a more contemporary design using Indian Sandstone fringed with smaller ‘setts’ type cobbles to provide added definition. Drain covers replaced with paviours containing pattern-continuity slabs.

Owner delighted.

Patio, ‘Sahara’ sandstone, Bath

Delightful terraced property overlooking Bath. Rear garden a little dreary and in need of brightening up and thereby made into a more usable space. Very wisely the owner chose to have installed some beautiful Indian sandstone slabs.

Future resurfacing of extensive driveway necessitates reprofiling and tidying of main entrance steps & surround to revised levels. Work involved installing a new step plus repositioning saddlestones and then laying substantial flagstones which will height-align with future drive surface. New cobbled kerbing completes the driveway perimeter.

A project for friends. No grass grows in their rear, shaded garden. After years of frustration an artificial lawn was confirmed. Image sequence shows the necessary preparation of the ground; aggregates; and their compaction. All edging important to give a professional finish including seamless transition to patios.
