FAQs about stone paving installation

What is the best type of stone for paving?

There are several different types of stone paving, each with its own strengths. Sandstone is popular for patios because of its natural look and range of colours. Granite is more durable and hard-wearing, making it great for driveways. Slate offers a smooth, contemporary finish.

How long does stone paving last?

Stone paving that's properly installed and well-maintained can last for decades — often 20–30 years or more.

Is stone paving better than concrete?

Stone paving is usually more attractive and unique, while concrete can be more uniform and cost-effective, so it's a case of weighing up what's important to you. Stone paving typically requires less maintenance over time and weathers more gracefully.

Does stone paving need sealing?

Sealing isn't essential, but it is a good idea to seal your stone paving before it's laid to help protect it from stains, algae, and weather damage. This is particularly important for porous natural stones such as sandstone and limestone.

Can I lay stone paving myself?

It's possible, but laying stone paving requires skill to ensure the base is prepared properly and the finish is level and long-lasting. Not to mention, stone paving can be incredibly heavy! Hiring an experienced installer can save time and reduce the risk of uneven or unstable paving.
