Images of Our Work

Autumn brown indian sandstone paving, with a low brick wall using the sandstone as a coping across the top. Notice as well how the brickwork is curved to accept the step, thus continuing the corresponding curves in the patio and the walls.
Indian sandtone paving, also showing the cuved design of the patio and walls.
Here you can see the compacted limestone hardcore base on top of which the paving is laid on a full bed of mortar.
This is the second step of the lower patio, showin the 'golden flint' 10mm gravel used as a border which also adds extra drainage for the patio.
Here is the second, raised patio of this job, which was laid overhanging a brick wall to continue the style of the coping along the rest of the wall. Again, the sandstone was cut to match the curve of the brick wall.
