Just a few typo errors but a nice simple site that shows your services.
This garden was terraced as it was sloped then we condtructed it to the clients drawings
Close up inamge showing what the stone looks like dry and wet.
This patio was constructed using shootblast cut sandstone, this gave a contempary look to the area.
Just a tip - laying any paving unless in the same sizes ie. 45x45cm there should be no crosses.
Also there was mention in a comment of sealing the sandstone to make it look better when not wet - no! You don't seal any type of natural stone.
The result is flaking as it can't absorb or release moisture which stone does. Use straight acid to clean if there is cement smear etc. thats' stopping it from looking bright. Sometimes sandstone excrudes a natural stain like a petrolum smear after been wet. Also the cement on a motar bed can come thru, again it can be cleaned with acid.
Website needs a spell check!

Spelling mistakes are the main issue that jumps out, clean and simple site, pictures speak volumes. Would love to understand alot more on your mentioned service regarding "authorised suppliers and installers
of enviromat sedum roofing".
Good luck to you and your new venture, how will you spread your good news and gain leads?
Andrew, can you really remove opc stains that are drawn up through the sandstone with neat hydrochloric acid?
Is this right about the none sealing of natural paving?
Best, Kerry
Perhaps we shouldn't be discussing this here, as this is Kierans thread on a totally different subject
We've done it again, hijackers that we are. Apologies Kieran
Someone already mentioned you can seal stone. Could they inform us seen this is a forum, what stone is that - perhaps granite! Not been you know what ... Another point without labouring is concrete - waste of money sealing might last a year.
I use straight HC - Kerry, I've gone pass weak DIY patio chorides. There is no stone damage either, even if you just leave to do its stuff. Not talking about doing this in the heat of summer, but this time of the year it's fine. You know in afew hours there will be a shower of rain in this climate.
