Why Natural Stone?
The Greenest Option
Natural stone is one of the oldest and simplest building materials. It is quarried and shaped rather than manufactured, needs no kiln firing, and lasts for generations. When a project ends, stone can be reclaimed and reused.
Stone versus Bricks
Durability: Dense natural stone such as slate stands up well to weather and wear.
Character: Stone allows more varied textures and architectural effects than uniform brick.
Low maintenance: Slate needs very little upkeep in most landscape uses.
Fire resistance: Natural stone is non-combustible.
Artificial Stone
Uniqueness: Every piece of natural stone is different — nothing comes from a mould.
Natural colour: The colour runs right through the stone, so chips and wear don’t reveal a different material underneath.
Longevity: Natural stone can last for generations; manufactured stone may fade or crack over time.
Repairs: Damaged pieces can be replaced with matching natural stone.
Customizable
Natural slate can be split, cut and shaped to suit almost any project — patios and steps, feature walls, tables and water features. Tell us what you are planning and we will help you choose the right stone.
