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.

UK quarries, our
new Yorkstone slabs
can be ordered hand
cut in random sizes
with fettled edges for
a traditional rustic
flooring look, or sawn

paving traditionally has
a smooth worn surface,
although the rougher
finish of riven stone is
becoming more popular.
Choose from thinner
2” to 3” slabs that are
lighter and easier to lay,
or more cost-effective but
heavier 4” to 6”. Natural
variations in size, colour
and texture only add to the
individuality and charm of
each stone.

Made from best quality
softwood and tanalised
(pressure treated)
to protect from damp
and rot, our softwood
sleepers are lighter and
easier to handle than
hardwood varieties,
as well as being easier
to cut. They are ideal for
building retaining walls,
shed bases or children’s
play areas, in a choice of
green or brown finish.
N E W S O F T W O O D S L E E P E R S
Cut from increasingly
fashionable untreated
green oak, these high
quality hardwood sleepers
can be used in a wide
range of building and
landscaping projects,
including raised garden
features and children’s
play areas. They are also
popular for indoor use as
ceiling and fireplace beams
offering rustic charm and
character as they may have
some bark on show.

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.
