Installation & Care
AWBS recommend that all natural stone garden paving is laid on a 100mm hardcore base and a full bed of wet mortar at least 35-40mm deep to ensure long-term stability and performance. A minimum joint width of 10mm is required for pointing. Please read our comprehensive patio laying guide for step-by-step installation advice.
Sandstone is a naturally porous stone paving, meaning that variations in colour, weathering, efflorescence or iron spots may occur over time, this is perfectly normal. Natural stone paving can also benefit from sealing. For more information please read our paving cleaning guide.
