Over a few weekends our team laid a natural limestone patio and a connecting pathway running down the side of the property to a new timber gate. The work involved excavating and preparing the ground, with a mini digger used on site to dig out and level the area before the slabs were set. The pale natural stone was laid with neat, deliberate straight edges, and a matching path links the rear patio area to the side passage between the brick walls. A solid timber gate was fitted to close off the side access.
The completed patio sits flush against the bi-fold doors and the bungalow's brickwork, giving a clean, usable surface right outside the living space. As the client notes, limestone shifts character with the weather, turning a deep near-black when wet and a lighter shade when dry, so no two slabs look quite the same. The straight-edged layout gives a tidy, contemporary frame to the garden, and the new timber gate adds privacy and a warm natural contrast to the cool stone.
