Natural stone slabs

Sitting in the middle price bracket, there are an array of natural stones offering many versatile styles to suit any garden. There’s no compromise on the durability as natural stone can withstand the frost better than concrete and should any repairs be needed, the individual stones can be replaced. You can expect a lifespan of around 10 years when regularly maintained. They’re also much less slippery when wet, a subtle but important bonus to avoid falls. Finally, these stone patios are known to greatly enhance an outdoor space and can even increase the value of your property!

The negatives of natural stone vary, depending on which stone you opt for and where it is positioned in your garden. Whilst they are a sturdy option, due to their porous nature, some stones can flake over time and some will easily scratch. Most will likely require regular maintenance such as annual sealing, anti-algae treatment, stain removal and regular cleaning. We can advise you which stone will be best suited to you and assist with any maintenance in the future.
