Natural Colour Variation in Whitby Indian Sandstone

The Whitby circle features a light buff base, accented with soft orange, yellow and pale golden tones, creating a warm yet neutral look that works in a wide range of settings. Subtle fossil markings and natural veining may be visible across individual pieces, enhancing its authentic appeal.

As a natural stone product, tonal variation between pieces is expected and part of its charm — and if you’d prefer to bring out the richer tones, a colour-enhancing sealer is a great optional extra.

Whitby Indian Sandstone – Colour Variations in Wet & Dry Conditions

• When Dry – Expect a light, creamy buff finish with hints of orange and yellow that appear soft and muted.
• When Wet – The colours intensify, with warmer tones becoming more pronounced and the stone’s natural texture highlighted by surface moisture.

This natural contrast adds interest and personality to the space — and using a wet-look sealer will help maintain that enhanced appearance long-term.

Step-by-Step Guide to Laying a Patio

How to Lay a Stone Paving Circle – Step-by-Step Guide

Installing a stone paving circle is a great way to create a beautiful focal point in your garden or patio. Whether you're using it as a standalone feature or incorporating it into a larger paved area, this guide will walk you through each step of the process to ensure a clean, long-lasting finish.

✅ What You’ll Need:

• Your chosen stone circle kit (centre + rings, with or without squaring-off kit)

• MOT Type 1 sub-base material

• Sharp sand and cement for mortar (typical mix 4:1)

• String line and centre peg (for layout)

• Priming slurry (optional but recommended)

• Spirit level

• Rubber mallet

• Grout or jointing compound

🪨 Step 1: Prepare the Base

1. Mark out the area using the circle size as a guide. Use a peg and string line to mark a perfect circle.

2. Excavate to a depth of approx. 150–200mm, depending on ground conditions.

3. Add and compact 100–125mm of MOT Type 1 hardcore to form a solid sub-base.

4. Ensure the area is level, with a slight fall away from the centre for drainage (typically 1:60).

⚙️ Step 2: Dry Lay & Plan Your Layout

1. Dry lay the full circle before fixing to ensure correct spacing and placement.

2. Start with the centre piece, then work outwards in rings.

3. If using the squaring-off kit, decide how you want it to align with existing paving or garden features.

🧱 Step 3: Lay the Paving Circle

1. Mix a mortar bed (4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement) to a workable consistency.

2. Begin with the centre stone, laying it on a full mortar bed around 30–40mm thick.

3. Use a priming slurry on the back of each piece to improve adhesion (especially recommended for smoother stone).

4. Work outwards, laying each ring of stones one at a time, using a rubber mallet to level and position each slab.

5. Maintain consistent joints between each stone (typically 10–15mm).

🧽 Step 4: Jointing & Finishing

1. Allow the paving to set for 24–48 hours before jointing.

2. Use a suitable jointing compound or mortar to fill gaps between the stones.

3. Clean off excess grout and rinse the surface thoroughly before it dries.

🔲 If Using a Squaring-Off Kit:

• Lay the squaring-off pieces after the full circle is complete and set, ensuring they line up neatly with the surrounding paving.

• Continue your patio from these squared edges for a seamless finish.

🛠️ Top Tips:

• Always check your levels and alignment with a string line or spirit level as you go.

• Wear gloves and safety goggles when mixing mortar or using tools.

• For best results, lay on a dry day above 5°C and avoid heavy rain for 48 hours after installation.

How to Clean & Maintain Indian Sandstone

To keep your Indian Sandstone paving looking its best, regular maintenance is key. Sweep away debris to prevent dirt build-up and clean periodically with a mild soapy water solution or a specialist stone cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers at high settings, as they can damage the stone’s surface. For long-term protection, consider applying a breathable sealant to help resist stains and enhance colour retention. Over time, natural weathering will add character, but with proper care, your sandstone will remain a beautiful feature in your outdoor space for years to come.
