Most patios don't require planning permission unless they cover more than 50% of your garden or are within a conservation area. We advise checking with Edinburgh Council for specific properties.

Regular sweeping and annual pressure washing keep sandstone looking great. We recommend sealing every 3-5 years to protect against staining and weathering.
