Yorkstone Setts
Yorkstone is a type of sandstone that is sourced from quarries in Yorkshire, which has become popular for using as paving and patios in landscaping garden projects. This is due to its impressive colours and textures, as well as durable and damage resistant surface that is suitable for outdoors. There are often lower cost alternatives to natural Yorkstone which is notoriously expensive, such as natural sandstone in a colour that resembles British Yorkstone, or porcelain made to look like Yorkstone. Consider Old York paving as a viable alternative.
Classic York Paving Setts are reminiscent of authentic yorkstone used across the UK for decades, with its gentle mix of muted colours, ranging from pale grey to buff shades. These paving setts are sawn on all faces and enjoy a hardwearing surface that can withstand furniture and constant foot traffic; perfect for creating a beautiful patio or paved area in your back garden, or a stunning driveway. Its robust and durable surface means this yorkstone paving will last a long time.
Natural stone and concrete block pavers are one of the most popular materials for paving driveways, walkways, and patios. They come in a variety of colours and textures, and they are durable and long lasting.
One of the main reasons to use natural stone block pavers is that they are incredibly durable and long-lasting. Unlike asphalt or concrete, natural stone block pavers are not as susceptible to cracking or chipping, meaning they will maintain their appearance for years to come. In addition, natural stone block pavers are resistant to fading, even in direct sunlight, making them a great choice for outdoor spaces. They generally cost more than concrete block paving, but have better colour fastness and the subtle colour blend is gentle on the eye.
Maintaining your natural stone block pavers is important to keep them looking their best. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water is all that is needed. Be sure to rinse well and dry completely after cleaning. Periodic sealing with a stone sealer is also recommended for some types of block paving.
When installing your blocks and setts, you may consider complementary features such as walling, coping, pond lighting, resin bound kits and paving drainage; Marshalls coping is a wonderful option for complementing dark paving setts or slabs, such as many stonemarket paving or strata paving products.
