Indian Sandstone Patios for homes in Langold
Indian sandstone is natural riven stone, so no two slabs are identical — you get variation in tone and texture across the patio that manufactured paving cannot really imitate, and it weathers in rather than wearing out. It comes in mixed sizes that can be laid in a random pattern, or in single sizes for something more uniform, and the colour range runs from pale grey and buff through to warm autumn browns and darker greys. We lay it on a full mortar bed with consistent joints, then point it properly and wash it down so the colour comes up rather than being left flat and cement-stained.
Working in Langold
Langold is a planned village north of Worksop, built in the twentieth century as housing for Firbeck colliery, and it has the consistency that comes with being laid out deliberately rather than growing piecemeal — regular streets, uniform plots, and the generous front and rear gardens characteristic of purpose-built pit housing. Langold Country Park and its lakes sit on the edge of the village, giving it a greener setting than many of the comparable settlements nearby. The regular plots make planning straightforward and the results consistent: frontages that take a full driveway with a proper border and turning space, and rear gardens with the length to carry a patio near the house, a defined grass or artificial grass area, and planting along the boundaries.
