The Backbone of a South London Garden
At Stuart Savage Landscaping, we believe that hardscaping is the foundation of any successful garden design. Whether we are transforming a Victorian terrace in Herne Hill or a modern courtyard in Clapham, the materials we choose matter just as much as the design itself.
That is why we are proud to hold the London Stone Preferred Installer status. But this isn't just a badge we put on our website—it is a promise of quality to you.
London Stone: What Does "Preferred Installer" Actually Mean?
Becoming a partner with London Stone isn’t something a company can simply buy into; it is a status that has to be earned.
To become a Preferred Installer, Stuart Savage Landscaping underwent a rigorous vetting process. London Stone doesn't hand this title to just anyone with a trowel. Here is why we made the cut:
Vetted for Quality: London Stone assessed our past projects to ensure our workmanship meets the highest industry standards. They looked at our cutting precision, our pointing, and our sub-base construction.
Technical Expertise: We have demonstrated a deep understanding of how to install specific materials correctly—whether that is priming porcelain correctly to ensure adhesion or using the right mortars for natural sandstone.
Business Integrity: They verified that we run a reputable business by reviewing our trading history and customer satisfaction.
In short: When you hire us, you aren't just taking our word for it. You are hiring a company that has been audited and approved by one of the UK’s leading stone suppliers.
What is Trending? (As Seen on Instagram & Pinterest)
Once you have the right installer, you need the right look. If you’ve been scrolling through garden inspiration on social media, you’ve likely noticed a shift away from small, busy pavers towards cleaner, expansive styles. Here are the top trends we are bringing to life in South London:
Large Format Porcelain: The "indoor-outdoor" flow is huge right now. Large 900x600mm or even 1200x600mm porcelain slabs are dominating feeds. They create a seamless, modern look that makes small urban gardens feel instantly bigger.
Cool Greys & Warm Beiges: While stark industrial greys are still popular, we are seeing a warming trend. Materials like London Stone’s Sandy White or Rove Sandstone are perfect for adding a soft, natural glow to a shaded London garden.
Low Maintenance Living: Our clients in Dulwich and Wandsworth are busy. The social media buzz around Porcelain Paving isn’t just about looks—it’s about lifestyle. It’s scratch-resistant, non-porous (so no red wine stains!), and incredibly easy to clean.
The Benefit to You: The 10-Year Guarantee
Because we are Preferred Installers, we can offer you something other landscapers can't: The London Stone 10-Year Homeowner Guarantee.
When we install London Stone Porcelain for you, you are covered against frost damage and material defects for a decade. This is the ultimate peace of mind, combining our vetted installation skills with their market-leading product quality.
