Indian Sandstone Patio, Newport
A premium Indian sandstone patio in Newport, laid in a mixed-size pattern on a full wet mortar bed for a low-maintenance space to enjoy year-round.
The brief
Our customer in Newport wanted a low-maintenance outdoor area they could use all year round, with a natural look that suited the house.
What we did
We excavated and prepared the area, then installed a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base for a solid foundation. Every Indian sandstone slab was laid on a full wet mortar bed, no dot-and-dab, for maximum strength and no hollow spots.
The slabs were laid in a mixed-size pattern, keeping spacing and levels consistent throughout, with a gentle fall to shed rainwater. The joints were filled with a high-quality jointing compound and the whole patio cleaned down.
The result
A warm, natural patio with real character that complements the property and will last for years to come.
