and reclaimed landscaping materials. Our range includes everything needed

A WORLD OF CHOICE IN QUALITY STONE PAVING

We import beautiful, natural stone products from all over

the world, which offer a wealth of colours and textures for

any landscaping project.

These include finest quality Indian sandstone, formed

millions of years ago when minerals such as quartz

and felspar were fused beneath billions of tons of rock.

Today, it’s one of the most popular choices for paths,

patios and paved surfaces of every kind, prized for its rich

colours, workability and resistance to moisture and frost.

Our sandstone and limestone slabs are calibrated

to a precise 22mm* for ease of laying and are available

either riven faced - produced by simply splitting stone

blocks to reveal their natural texture and colour -

or sawn faced, for a smoother, more contemporary effect.

Something old, something newWe also supply Yorkstone paving to meet the growing

demand for an authentic and traditional look often favoured

for gardens, landscapes and public areas.

Our Yorkstone products, both newly quarried and genuinely

reclaimed, are an increasingly popular choice thanks to their

natural mix of colours, typically buff or grey, and their quality

and extreme durability.

Grade B sleepers

come in varied cross

sections that are

usually square, but can

be part-rounded due

to wear. They may also

show distinctive cracks

and splits caused by

weathering that enhance

their rustic appearance,

making them particularly

suited to landscaping

applications such as

retaining walls and steps.

A part of Britain’s

industrial heritage,

railway sleepers are

an attractive and

popular choice for

landscaping projects

like retaining walls,

raised beds, garden

features and building

steps. Grade A sleepers

are the best quality

available with a straight,

square appearance that

weathers beautifully.

Please note: Reclaimed sleepers were impregnated with tar to ensure their longevity so we recommend gloves are worn when handling them and don’t use them in children’s play areas or where contamination may be a problem.

Product characteristics and variations Stone is a natural product, which means there will always be a variation in colour and texture from one item to the next. Indeed, this is the unique appeal of natural stone paving and flooring.

Sizes will also vary and while we make every effort to deliver products within the calibrated dimensions specified, exact measurements cannot be guaranteed.

We recommend all orders should include an additional 10% contingency to cater for wastage caused by chips, blemishes, surface variations, breakages and discolouration.

Please be aware natural stone will change colour over time, which is a natural effect of the oxidation of minerals within the stone itself. Traditional hand cut flagstones may show signs of surface delamination.

Some types of stone may also be affected by efflorescence or staining by jointing, bedding and fixing compounds/mortar.

Usage, care and maintenance Before ordering your stone, please check with our Customer Service Team that the product you’re looking at is suited to your particular project.

Once installed, proper care and maintenance will help maintain its good looks and minimise wear and damage. Our staff can offer advice and guidance.

Please note, certain sealers and other materials can damage or stain natural stone. Before treating any of our products, seek expert advice and test a small sample beforehand to check for discolouration.

We offer a range of recommended and suitable sealing products and fixing compounds; please contact our Customer Service Team for details.
