Natural Stone Paving for Your Garden

If you're aiming to design a garden or patio that offers a subtle touch of colour while remaining elegantly understated, the Citron Square Edge, also known as 'Yellow Limestone,' is an excellent choice. These natural stones not only enhance the beauty of your home and garden but also offer long-lasting durability, minimizing the need for replacements. The Citron Square Edge is a versatile option suitable for a variety of projects, including back gardens, patios, driveways, and front gardens. For additional options, consider 'Kota Yellow,' which is equally well-suited for period properties, office front gardens, restaurant exteriors, and more.

What is 'Square Edge Paving'?

As previously mentioned, all our natural stone paving is sourced from quarries in India. Initially, these stones are extracted as large blocks, which are then cut down to size. For Square Edge paving, the cutting process differs from traditional methods. Rather than being hand-cut, which results in rougher, more rustic edges, Square Edge paving slabs are machine-sawn. This process yields cleaner, smoother edges and ensures consistency across the entire batch, making it an ideal choice for creating a more organized and symmetrical appearance in your garden.

At Stone Zone, we offer a range of natural stone paving slabs with Square Edges, including Dove Grey Square Edge Limestone, Carbon Black Square Edge Limestone, Aqua Blue Square Edge Limestone, and Citron Yellow Square Edge Limestone.

What is the Difference Between Limestone and Sandstone Paving?

Limestone and Sandstone paving share the common feature of being naturally sourced from Indian quarries, but they also have a few other similarities.

One advantage of Limestone Paving is its cost-effectiveness compared to Sandstone. However, depending on the colour you choose, some maintenance may be required to keep it looking its best.

Limestone is generally more brittle than Sandstone, but this difference is minor in practice, as both materials offer comparable strength and durability once installed.

As previously noted, Limestone Paving may discolour over time, even with sealing. Some ongoing maintenance is necessary to maintain its original vibrancy. In contrast, preserving the colour of Sandstone Paving tends to be simpler.

Both Sandstone and Limestone come in various styles. Sandstone is available in weathered and sawn options, while Limestone can be found in square edge or weathered varieties.

For optimal colour retention and sheen of Citron Limestone Paving, sealing is recommended. Sandstone Paving does not require sealing but it is optional if you choose to apply it.

What is the Difference Between Limestone and Porcelain Paving?

When choosing between Limestone and Porcelain Paving, there are several key differences to consider. The most notable distinction is their manufacturing process: Limestone is naturally sourced, while Porcelain is manufactured, allowing for a wider variety of colours and finishes.

If you prefer a modern, sleek appearance, Porcelain Paving is the ideal choice. Conversely, if you’re drawn to a more textured, subtly distinctive look, Limestone Paving might be more suited to your taste.

Limestone does weather over time, with changes in colour and surface texture. Porcelain Paving, however, maintains its colour and texture better due to its manufacturing process.

In terms of maintenance, Limestone requires more attention. Regular jet washing twice a year is needed to keep it looking fresh. Porcelain Paving, on the other hand, is easier to maintain with just a simple hose down twice a year.

For those seeking a Porcelain alternative to Citron Yellow Square Edge Limestone Paving, consider the 'Natural' Yellow Limestone Porcelain Paving. This range is designed to replicate the look of natural Limestone and Sandstone while offering the durability and ease of maintenance associated with modern Porcelain.
