Project Overview
We recently completed a modern garden transformation in Haslingden, installing a sleek Kandla Grey Indian Sandstone patio to create a clean and functional outdoor seating area directly off the property.
The customer wanted a practical, low-maintenance space for relaxing and entertaining, replacing a plain lawn area with something more usable all year round.

Before and After
Before:
As shown in the images, the garden originally consisted of:
-
A basic lawn with no defined patio or seating area
-
Limited usable outdoor space directly outside the rear doors
-
No clear structure or flow from the house into the garden
While the garden was tidy, it lacked a dedicated space for outdoor living.
After:
The transformation has completely changed how the garden can be used:
-
A spacious patio area ideal for seating and entertaining
-
Clean, modern aesthetic with consistent grey tones
-
Improved drainage and reduced maintenance
-
Seamless transition from the house into the garden
The addition of the dark block edging creates a striking contrast, helping define the space and elevate the overall finish.
Our Process
1. Ground Preparation & Excavation
We marked out the new patio area and excavated the ground to the required depth, removing turf and soil to prepare for a solid foundation.
2. Sub-Base Installation
A strong sub-base of MOT Type 1 was installed and compacted thoroughly to ensure long-term durability and prevent movement.
3. Drainage & Edging
We installed a linear drainage system along the property to manage surface water effectively, along with a contrasting block border to frame the patio and give it a sharp, modern finish.
4. Laying the Kandla Grey Sandstone
The Kandla Grey Indian Sandstone slabs were laid in a mixed-size pattern, creating a contemporary and uniform look. The subtle grey tones provide a clean, modern appearance that complements the brickwork perfectly.
5. Jointing & Finishing
The patio was finished with a durable jointing compound, ensuring a strong, weed-resistant finish built to last.
