The difference between a good garden and a great garden can be something as simple as the perfect paving choice. It can be quite the task though - there are quite a few things to consider with numerous types of natural paving. So, to help you out, we have chosen the best options and provided all the information you need about each of them.
Porcelain paving
Porcelain paving is fast becoming a much sought after product for the design conscious customer available in a large variety of sizes textures and colours to suit every conceivable design. Italian porcelain is well known for its superior quality and the paving is made from the highest quality products available. Other countries around the world are now making good quality porcelain products. Porcelain is easy to maintain and looks good all year round
Natural Sandstone Paving
Coming in a variety of different tones such as sandy yellow, beige and brown, natural sandstone paving is one of the most popular paving choices when it comes to patios and pathways – mainly due to the fact it suits both contemporary and traditional designs.
Natural Slate Paving
Available in a range of darker tones, the natural slate paving provides a more contemporary look than the other lighter tones. Slate is extremely versatile, being easy to shape and manipulate, making it easy to suit your style.
Slate is also vulnerable to moisture damage, so it is important to seal your slate paving to prevent any damage.
Granite Paving
Granite paving is impressively hard-wearing as well as looking great on patios and paths, particularly on driveways. The textured finish of granite gives it more grip when the surface is wet, compared to other materials. Also available in a wide range of tones, granite can give your garden the contemporary finish you may be after.
It’s important to keep in mind that granite is extremely heavy, so we recommend that you have a professional to lay the paving.
Limestone Paving
If you want a natural stone look, with the consistency of manufactured stone, limestone is the paving option for you. It’s easy to shape and manipulate to suit your design, but the colour range is very limited.
Limestone is vulnerable to acid rain, so it is important to seal your limestone paving to prevent any damage.
