Limestone Paving

Neutral Tones:

The variety of neutral tones found in limestone paving is one of its most attractive qualities. The subtle hues of limestone complement various landscaping themes, from rustic to modern. For instance, in a contemporary garden, limestone paving slabs create sleek pathways, while in a traditional setting, a limestone retaining wall adds timeless elegance. Neutral limestone slabs shimmer with ageless elegance in shades ranging from creamy whites to soft beiges and warm greys. These colours provide a visually pleasing background for outdoor furniture, plants, and other design components.

 Earthy Shades:

The earthy shade palette of limestone also evokes a feeling of the beauty of the natural world. In outdoor spaces, mellow yellows, gentle greens, and rustic browns add warmth and character. The earth tones of these limestone slabs enhance the overall aesthetic appeal, which goes well with both natural landscapes and architectural elements.

Texure:

The texture of Limestone Paving adds depth and character to any outdoor space. Limestone's natural formation process produces a unique and varied surface texture, ranging from smooth and honed to rough and rustic. The subtle variations in texture create visual interest and provide a non-slip surface, making it ideal for pathways, patios, and outdoor living areas. Limestone Slabs can also be tumbled or brushed to achieve a more rustic, antiqued look, adding warmth and charm to any landscape design. Limestone offers a wide range of options to suit your desired aesthetic, whether you prefer a sleek and polished finish or a more organic, natural texture.

How does limestone differ from sandstone paving?

Limestone paving offers superior resistance to erosion and stains compared to conventional paving stones, while sandstone provides more varied texture options. Limestone typically features a smoother, more uniform appearance with honed finishes, while sandstone offers natural riven textures. Both are durable, but limestone tends to have a more refined, sophisticated look.

Does limestone paving require sealing?

Our limestone paving is designed to be low maintenance, but like most natural stone, sealing is recommended to enhance protection against stains and weathering. Our accessories section includes paving sealers specifically for aftercare maintenance. 

Is limestone paving durable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. Our limestone paving is exceptionally durable and specifically tailored for outdoor applications. It's long-lasting, requires little upkeep, and has excellent resistance to erosion and stains. The limestone is ideal for British weather and suited for extreme conditions, offering stability and longevity.

 What types of finishes are available for limestone paving?

We offer several sophisticated finishes:

• Natural Riven (textured, natural surface)

Why should I choose limestone paving over sandstone or concrete?

Limestone paving offers superior resistance to erosion and stains compared to conventional paving stones.

The honed finishes provide both aesthetic appeal and tactile smoothness, while the material is specifically designed to handle British weather conditions with stability and longevity.
