Natural Stone

Natural stone makes it possible to create harmony between natural and artificial materials and can be considered the soul of any outdoor design. No wonder it’s in great demand. Natural stone is used for paving paths, decorating pools, fountains, barbeque areas, fencing, alpine slides, and more.

There are various types of natural stone. The most popular types of natural stone are sandstone, limestone, granite, and quartz.

They are very different from each other as far as their structure, texture, and composition are concerned. These factors determine their wearability and resistance to frost, water, and other environmental conditions.

Limestone, for instance, will be a pleasure to the eye for at least a quarter of a century. Limestone uses are numerous as it’s not only durable and attractive but also less expensive. The most long-lived materials are quartz and granite flagstones.

Flagstone prices vary depending, first of all, on the base material, i.e. the type of stone, thickness, shape, grade, and colour. The total cost of your project, for example a natural stone patio, will also depend on its location and size. No matter the project, we can offer something that will meet your budget needs.

When it comes to choosing materials for stone installation, people often wonder about the difference between natural stone and concrete pavers. The benefits of natural stone include:

✔ durability;

✔ ecological compatibility;

✔ a great variety of colours and textures;

✔ resistance to moisture absorption;

✔ slip resistance;

✔ fade resistance;

✔ compatibility with all types of materials.
