Questions people ask
Is sandstone or porcelain better for a patio?
Sandstone looks natural and warm but needs sealing and more cleaning. Porcelain is lower maintenance. Our guide compares both.
Does sandstone go green?
In shade it can grow algae. Sealing it and cleaning it once a year keeps it looking good.
Can you do the whole garden in one job?
Yes. Patio, path, beds and turf are planned and built together so the levels work.
