Natural Stone FAQs
Everything you need to know before getting in touch
What is the best natural stone for a patio or path?
Indian sandstone is the most popular choice for its beauty, durability, and value. Limestone offers a more uniform, contemporary look, while Yorkstone is traditional and extremely hardwearing. Granite is ideal for high-traffic areas and driveways. We can show you samples during your free estimate.
How do I maintain natural stone paving?
Natural stone benefits from sealing after installation to protect against staining and weathering. We recommend cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner and re-sealing every 3–5 years. We can advise on appropriate products for your specific stone type.
Is natural stone more expensive than concrete slabs?
Natural stone is generally more expensive than manufactured concrete slabs, but the difference in quality, longevity, and visual appeal is significant. For high-quality Indian sandstone, expect to pay £80–£150 per m² installed. The investment pays off in long-term value and aesthetics.
