Recent work 2021–2023

The whole garden, built as one job.

Most jobs aren’t just a patio. They’re the patio, the step up to the lawn, the sleeper beds, the screen and the planting, drawn together and built by one team.

A Chorlton back garden: warm sand-coloured porcelain patio, a tree in a timber-edged bed, a new lawn, and pale pine cladding along the boundary, with terraced houses behind.

Every finish has a name.

Most of our posts name the stone, the timber and the merchant who supplied it. Each swatch here is cut from a photo of a finished Stoneridge job. Pick one to see where it went down.

Asked to flag a yard.

“He went above and beyond the basic brief we gave him which was just to simply flag our yard. He delivered a patio which is fantastically designed and landscaped with flower beds and a bench built in.”

Katrina, Altrincham New patio January 2019
