• Granite Patio Slabs: Celebrated for its strength, granite is undoubtedly the most resilient material, making it a great option for heavy traffic areas, like driveways or commercial or social areas, especially where cobblestones or granite setts could be a preferred solution.
• Limestone Patio Slabs: A sedimentary stone formed by tiny grains compacted under pressure, it boasts natural veining and a consistent colouring across slabs which give the stones a sleek and tidy look.
• Slate Patio Slabs: A metamorphic stone formed in layers, packed full of character and on-trend. Slate is an increasingly popular choice for any contemporary outdoor space.
• Sandstone Patio Slabs: This timeless material is easily the most popular imported material available on the market. Recognised for its tonal variations, differing riven profiles and natural veining, sandstone injects rustic style into any outdoor space.
