Indian sandstone comes in a genuinely wide range of colours, which is one reason it's such a popular choice for patios in Tewkesbury. With the town's mix of timber-framed buildings, red brick terraces and honey-toned stone, getting the shade right makes a real difference to how a new patio sits with the house. SPR Paving fits sandstone against all sorts of property types, and the choice usually comes down to what's already on your walls.
Popular Shades and Their Look
Raj Green is a mix of green, grey and buff tones that hides dirt and algae well, making it a practical choice for shaded gardens. Autumn Brown leans warm, with rust and gold tones that sit nicely against red brick, which is common on Tewkesbury's Victorian terraces. Kandla Grey is a cooler, more uniform grey that suits contemporary extensions and rendered properties rather than older brickwork. Fossil Buff and Mint fall somewhere between, with pale cream and grey-green tones that work well against lighter stone or cream render.
Matching Colour to Your Property
Older properties near the town centre, including the timber-framed buildings around Church Street, generally look better with warmer buff or brown tones that echo the natural materials already there, rather than a cold grey that can look out of place. Newer builds on the edges of town, or properties with grey render or aluminium windows, tend to suit Kandla Grey or a similar cooler palette. It's also worth thinking about how much sun the patio gets - very pale stone can glare in a south-facing garden, while darker tones show less staining but absorb more heat underfoot.
