Best Indian Sandstone Colours for UK Gardens (Kandla, Raj, Autumn)

Right, let's talk paving colours. Because we all know how this goes—you start looking at samples, suddenly you're lying awake at 2am wondering if grey will make your garden look like a car park or if brown is "too much." I've been there. We've ALL been there.

Here's the thing: there's no wrong answer, but there's definitely a right one for YOUR garden. And honestly? Most people end up loving one of these three Indian sandstone paving colours. Let me walk you through them like I would if you'd just rocked up to our yard with a confused look on your face.

Kandla Grey – For When You Want It Proper Smart

Kandla grey sandstone is basically the friend who always looks effortlessly put-together. You know the one.

These slabs have this gorgeous blue-grey thing going on, with little flecks of buff and brown that stop it looking too cold or "municipal." It's sophisticated without being pretentious, if that makes sense?

The best part? It doesn't show every muddy paw print or spilled drink like lighter stone does. If you've got kids, a dog, or just enjoy actually USING your patio, you'll appreciate this more than you think.

Works an absolute treat with: Modern houses, slate roofs, dark grey fences, basically anything where you want that clean, contemporary vibe. Looks mint with planters and outdoor furniture too.

Raj Green – The One Everyone Ends Up Choosing

Look, there's a reason Raj green sandstone has been flying off our pallets for years. It's just... right.

Don't let the name fool you—it's not green like Astroturf. Think plum, rust, sage, and golden tones all mixed together. Every single slab is different, which sounds chaotic but actually looks incredible. It's like nature did all the design work for you.

This is the sandstone that makes your neighbour lean over the fence and go "Oh, that's NICE. Where'd you get that then?"

Perfect if: You've got a traditional house and want something that feels timeless. Or you just want paving that goes with everything and won't look dated in 10 years. Honestly, you can't go wrong with Raj.

Autumn Brown – Like Sunshine in Stone Form

Autumn brown sandstone is for people who want their garden to feel warm and welcoming, even when it's drizzling in November (so... always).

These sandstone paving slabs come in gorgeous caramel, honey, and amber tones that genuinely make your garden feel bigger and brighter. If your outdoor space doesn't get much sun, or faces north, this'll transform it. I'm not exaggerating—the difference is unreal.

Plus, it looks absolutely stunning against greenery. Your plants will look better. Your garden will look better. You'll look better. It's magic.

Best for: Gardens that need a bit of warmth, Mediterranean vibes, or if you've just always been drawn to warmer colours. Also brilliant with red brick houses.
