Indian Sandstone Patios for homes in Rossington
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 Rossington
Rossington sits south-east of Doncaster and was built substantially as a colliery village, which shows clearly in the housing — planned rows of brick terraces and semis on regular plots, laid out with the generous front and rear gardens typical of purpose-built pit housing, alongside a considerable amount of newer development that has expanded the village. Those regular plots are straightforward to work with and often larger than they first appear: enough frontage for a full driveway with a turning area, and rear gardens long enough to split into a patio near the house and a separate lawn or artificial grass area beyond. The ground here is generally flatter than the Derbyshire towns to the west, so falls and drainage need setting out deliberately rather than relying on any natural gradient.
