Natural stone paving is specified for high-quality external surfaces and landscapes, or for extensive interior flooring installations.

As well as being particularly hardwearing, stone pavements draw on a palette of organic colours, can reflect the tones and textures of local geology and materials, and are equally sympathetic to heritage and modern architecture.

Flags and slabs are used on heavily trafficked pedestrian concourses and high streets as well as fine-quality private gardens.

Setts / cobbles are dressed pavers laid in coursed or random patterns for civic paving schemes or private driveways. They are often specified with co-ordinating natural stone kerbs.

Stone suppliers provide indigenous materials like sandstone or Yorkstone, limestone, granite and slate, as well as more exotic stone types like travertine, porphyry, basalt, quartzite and marble. They also source products from quarries in China, India, Brazil, Portugal and other countries.
