OUR PROVEN PROCESS
How We Install Your Natural Stone Patio – Step by Step
Step 1: Free Site Survey
& Design Consultation
We visit your property anywhere in Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, or across Kent to assess your outdoor space and show you natural stone samples.
We'll discuss which stone type suits your home's style, show you the natural color variations you can expect, and explain how different stones age over time.
You'll see and feel real samples to make an informed choice.
Step 2: Detailed Proposal & Quote
Once you're happy with the quote and a start date is booked, we begin the physical transformation.
Our team carefully removes your existing patio, slabs, or turf, excavating to the correct depth for proper base installation. We protect your property, set up safe working areas, and remove all waste from site.
This crucial groundwork stage involves compacting the sub-base, installing proper drainage solutions to prevent waterlogging, and creating the perfect foundation.
Step 3: Professional Installation
Our team begins with thorough ground preparation – excavation, sub-base compaction, and drainage installation.
We then lay natural stone carefully, considering each slab's unique character and arranging them for the best aesthetic result.
William works on-site with the team, ensuring consistent levels, appropriate joint spacing, and proper water runoff.
We finish with pointing and initial sealing.
Step 4: Final Walkthrough & Handover
We conduct a thorough walkthrough, explain the simple maintenance routine (annual sealing recommended), answer all questions, and ensure you're completely satisfied.
You receive your 6-year guarantee documentation and can start enjoying your beautiful natural stone patio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Natural Stone Patio Questions Answered...
For more information about our patio services, or if you need support, please call Will on

Does natural stone require a lot of maintenance?
Natural stone needs modest maintenance to look its best. We recommend annual sealing (takes 1-2 hours for an average patio), which protects against staining and enhances colors. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with appropriate cleaners keeps it pristine. Many homeowners find this minimal care worthwhile for the authentic beauty natural stone provides.
Will natural stone fade over time?
Natural stone won't fade like manufactured materials, but it does weather naturally. Indian sandstone may lighten slightly in the first year as surface minerals wash away, revealing the true stone color beneath. Most homeowners love this natural weathering process as it helps the patio integrate beautifully into the garden.
Is natural stone slippery when wet?
Riven (textured) natural stone provides excellent grip even when wet, making it safe for families. We only install appropriate outdoor finishes with natural texture. Avoid polished or smooth finishes for uncovered patios – we'll advise you during consultation.
Will natural stone crack in frost?
Quality natural stone from reputable suppliers is frost-resistant when properly installed. Indian sandstone, limestone, and granite all perform well in UK winters. Proper base preparation, drainage, and installation technique are crucial – which is why professional installation matters.
How long will a natural stone patio last?
With professional installation and basic maintenance, natural stone patios last 50+ years. Many historic buildings across the UK feature natural stone paving that's centuries old. It's a genuine lifetime investment that can outlast your home ownership.
What's the difference between calibrated and hand-cut stone?
Calibrated stone is machine-cut to consistent thickness, making installation easier and creating more uniform levels. Hand-cut stone has natural thickness variation, offering more rustic character but requiring greater installation skill. We'll recommend the right option for your project.
Can I install natural stone over my existing patio?
Sometimes, if your existing patio is stable, level, and properly drained. However, we often recommend full excavation and fresh base installation to ensure proper levels, drainage, and longevity. We'll assess during your site survey.
Which natural stone is best for my patio?
Indian sandstone offers the best balance of beauty, durability, and value for most patios. Limestone creates sophisticated, high-end aesthetics. Granite provides maximum durability for high-traffic areas. We'll help you choose based on your home's style, budget, and how you'll use the space.
When can you get started?
We are generally booked out for around 4-6 weeks. This gives us enough time to design the perfect garden and organise delivery of materials etc.
