Information


Natural Stone Paving makes excellent driveways, paths and patios.

Adds property value and curb appeal
Natural Stone does not necessarily have to cost more than using equivalent concrete products
Each piece of beautiful natural stone has a unique blend of colours and tones which makes your garden / driveway / landscape, completely unlike concrete, where for the most part all pieces are manufactured to be identical and therefore relatively characterless in comparison.
Natural Stone Paving and landscaping products are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than manufactured Concrete alternatives.
Durable and low maintenance

Natural stone or indeed any paving products are valued for its strength, and durability. The natural blend of Indian sandstone makes for a unique patio or pathway. It can be cut, cleft, or sculpted to shape as required, and the variety of natural stone types, textures, and colors provide an exceptionally versatile range of building materials. The porosity and makeup of most stone does, however, leave it prone to certain types of damage if unsealed.

Staining is the most common form of damage. It is the result of oils or other liquids penetrate deeply into the capillary channels and deposit material that is effectively impossible to remove without destroying the stone.
Salt Attack occurs when salts dissolved in water are carried into the stone.

The two commonest effects are efflorescence and spalling. Salts that expand on crystallization in capillary gaps can cause surface spalling.

Driveways, paths and patios can be sealed with a specialist sealant which provides some protection of the paving from the uv rays of the sun and plant growth.
