ABOUT STONE PAVING

Natural stone paving is available for interior use, and for external use as a surface for patios, walkways, and garden paths. The range of stones includes: Sandstone, Limestone, Bluestone, New England Field Stone, Granite, and Quartzite. These are available with a rough cleft surface, or smooth surface.

The advantage of natural stone over concrete or re-constituted stone is that it gives an authentic, natural, or antique appearance. If the appropriate stone is chosen, it provides a highly durable maintenance-free surface.

The leading stone paving suppliers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of stone paving, including online catalogs, colors and materials for stone paving, and care and maintenance of stone paving.
