In March 2026 we completed this small patio in Kettering, turning a tired old courtyard garden into a contemporary space the owners can actually use. We paved it in natural sandstone in Autumn Green, finished with a light-coloured jointing.
Courtyards and narrow gardens are often the hardest outdoor spaces to make the most of. New paving running the full length of the courtyard makes this one feel bigger and tidier, with a gravel strip along one side and a planted border along the other.
Autumn Green natural sandstone
Autumn Green is a natural sandstone with soft greens, greys and browns running through it, so no two slabs look quite the same. We laid it in a random pattern of mixed slab sizes, and the light jointing outlines each slab and keeps a small, enclosed space feeling bright.
A path through to the back
The sandstone carries on as a path, with gravel strips either side, so the whole space is finished to the same standard rather than just the main patio area.
