Golden Leaf Sawn Sandstone Edging

The finishing touches can make a big difference to how your garden comes together. With Golden Leaf Sawn Sandstone Edging, you can give your patio, pathways and landscaped areas a clean, defined finish while keeping all the warmth and natural character of sandstone.

Golden Leaf is a particularly eye-catching stone, with soft buffs and greys sitting alongside warmer golden tones and occasional hints of purple veining. Every piece has its own variation, so once it’s laid, your outdoor space has a natural sense of movement and character rather than looking too uniform.

The sawn and sandblasted surface gives the stone a smoother, more refined appearance than traditional riven sandstone, while the bullnosed front edge gently softens the profile. It’s a subtle detail, but one that can make a visible difference when you’re finishing an exposed edge and want your garden to feel complete from every angle.

Using Golden Leaf Sawn Sandstone Edging in Your Garden

How you use your edging really depends on the space you’re creating. You might want to frame your patio, create a neat divide between your paving and lawn, define the edge of a pathway or add a finishing touch to raised areas. Golden Leaf gives you plenty of flexibility to bring those details into your overall garden design.

If you’ve already chosen Golden Leaf paving for your garden, using the matching edging is a great way to carry those same colours and textures throughout your space. That said, you don’t have to match everything. If your vision includes contrasting tones, the warmer buffs and golds of Golden Leaf can sit beautifully alongside cooler paving and introduce another layer of colour to your design.

What's more, because you’re choosing natural sandstone, you can expect the colours, tones and markings to vary from one piece to the next. That variation is a big part of the appeal of natural stone, giving your finished garden a richness and individuality that you don’t get from something designed to look identical.

Step-by-Step Guide to Laying a Patio

Creating a beautiful and long-lasting patio requires the right materials and a solid installation process. Follow our step-by-step guide to ensure a professional finish, using high-quality paving slabs, jointing compounds, and essential finishing touches available at Bridge Street Stone.

Step 1: Plan & Prepare the Area

Before starting, decide on the size, shape, and layout of your patio. Mark out the area using string lines or spray paint and ensure there’s a slight gradient for water drainage.

You’ll Need:

✔ Paving slabs – Browse our range of natural stone and porcelain paving
✔ Measuring tape & string line – For accurate planning
✔ Shovel & wheelbarrow – To clear the area

Step 2: Dig Out & Create the Sub-Base

Excavate the area to a depth of 150-200mm to allow for the base layers. Compact a 100mm layer of MOT Type 1 using a wacker plate to create a firm foundation.

You’ll Need:

✔ MOT Type 1 hardcore – Order high-quality sub-base material
✔ Wacker plate or compactor – Essential for a solid foundation

Step 3: Prepare the Bedding Layer

A mortar bed is needed to hold your paving in place. Use a mix of 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement, adding water until it reaches a firm, workable consistency. Lay the mortar to a depth of 30-50mm across the area.

You’ll Need:

✔ Sharp sand & cement – Shop high-quality materials
✔ Mixing tools – Cement mixer or bucket and spade

Step 4: Lay the Paving Slabs

Start laying the slabs from one corner, ensuring a consistent joint gap between each. Use a rubber mallet to tap them into place and check levels with a spirit level.

You’ll Need:

✔ Paving slabs – Explore our natural stone and porcelain paving
✔ Rubber mallet & spirit level – For precision placement

Step 5: Joint & Finish the Patio

Once the mortar has set (24-48 hours), fill the joints using a high-quality jointing compound or traditional sand and cement mix. Brush the compound into the joints and lightly spray with water to activate.

You’ll Need:

✔ Jointing compound or grout – Browse our range of easy-to-use paving grouts
✔ Soft brush & hosepipe – To apply and set the compound

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches

Complete your patio with matching edging stones, decorative aggregates, or stone ornaments to enhance the overall design.

You’ll Need:

✔ Paving edgings & setts – Define your patio with stylish edging
✔ Decorative aggregates & stone ornaments – Browse finishing touches for your garden

Enjoy Your New Patio!

By following these steps and using high-quality materials from Bridge Street Stone, your patio will be both beautiful and long-lasting.

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.
