Indian sandstone & porcelain patios
Natural sandstone often suits traditional properties; porcelain gives a crisp, low-maintenance finish. Both laid on a proper sub-base.

Landscaping in Oswestry, Ellesmere and the border villages
Oswestry is a market town in north-west Shropshire, close to the Welsh border. The gardens we're asked about include traditional brick and stone houses with established gardens, as well as newer homes on the edges of the town – and in the surrounding villages, larger plots with hedged boundaries and longer drives.
The Green Team plans and builds the whole job: groundwork, levels and drainage, Indian sandstone and porcelain patios, paths and steps, block paving and gravel driveways, turf, sleeper walls and raised beds, then the clear-up.
If your garden is established and just needs looking after, we also offer hedge cutting and reductions, grass cutting, tree pruning and garden clearances.
We also cover Ellesmere, to the east of Oswestry, and the villages around it – the same services, the same free site visit and the same written quotation.

Points that often come up on Oswestry jobs:
- Choosing stone: on older brick and stone homes, the colour and texture of the paving makes a big difference to how well a new patio sits with the house. We can help you choose from supplier brochures.
- Sloping gardens: steps, retaining sleepers and drainage behind walls need planning together so the garden stays stable and water doesn't collect.
- Conservation areas and listed buildings: if your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Shropshire Council before changing front boundaries, walls or driveways.
- Paving a front garden: in England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than five square metres in a front garden must be permeable (for example gravel or permeable block paving) or drain onto a lawn or border – otherwise planning permission is needed.
- Hedges and nesting birds: hedges should be checked for active nests before cutting, especially from March to August, as damaging an active nest is an offence.
We talk these points through at the free site visit, so your quotation reflects your garden rather than a guess.
