Kandla Grey Umbra Sandstone Walling

Our Natural Stone Walling in a serene grey hue presents a timeless option for enclosing your garden or property with classic elegance.

Crafted from Umbra Sandstone, also recognized as Kandla Grey, this top-selling Sandstone Paving and Garden Walling embodies the enduring charm of grey tones, aligning perfectly with the contemporary aesthetic embraced by many garden enthusiasts today.

Sourced directly from India with a commitment to ethical practices, our Sandstone and Limestone Walling not only ensures quality but also allows us to extend the most competitive landscaping savings directly to our customers.

Hailing from India, this natural stone boasts inherent qualities such as permeability, enabling it to absorb water, making it particularly advantageous for properties with limited drainage, effectively mitigating standing or runoff water issues.

The allure of our Sandstone Walling lies not only in its practical attributes but also in its distinctive grey palette. Each piece, hewn from larger stones indigenous to India, exhibits a unique variance in colour, ensuring that no two sections of walling are identical, resulting in a visually captivating display of natural grey hues.

Hand-cut from quarry-sourced stone, our garden walling pieces feature pitch-faced edges and a textured surface, imbuing them with a charmingly rustic character. While the edges maintain a refined smoothness, the varying thickness and tumbled appearance lend a natural and organic feel to the walling.

In conclusion, our Natural Stone Walling offers more than just a functional enclosure; it epitomizes timeless sophistication and natural beauty, enhancing the allure of any garden or property it graces.

Umbra Kandla Grey Walling for Your Garden

Sandstone walling serves multiple purposes and adds both practical and aesthetic value to a garden:

Boundaries and Enclosures: One of the primary uses of sandstone walling in a garden is to create boundaries and enclosures. It can define the perimeter of the garden, segregate different areas within the garden, or mark the boundary between the garden and other spaces like pathways or neighbouring properties.

Retaining Walls: Sandstone walling is often used to create retaining walls, especially in gardens with sloping terrain. These walls help to hold back soil, prevent erosion, and create terraced areas for planting or seating.

Raised Beds: Sandstone walling can be used to construct raised beds for planting flowers, herbs, vegetables, or shrubs. Raised beds provide better drainage, warmer soil temperatures, and easier access to gardening tasks such as planting, weeding, and harvesting.

Seating and Edging: Low walls made of sandstone can serve as seating areas within the garden, providing a place for relaxation and contemplation. Additionally, sandstone walling can be used as edging for garden beds, pathways, or water features, adding definition and visual appeal to the landscape.

Decorative Features: Sandstone walling can be used to create various decorative features in the garden, such as pillars, columns, arches, or ornamental walls. These elements add architectural interest and enhance the overall design aesthetic of the garden.

Water Features: Sandstone walling can be incorporated into the design of water features like ponds, waterfalls, or fountain surrounds. Its natural beauty and durability make it an ideal material for creating visually striking and functional water features that enhance the ambience of the garden.

Overall, sandstone walling is a versatile and attractive addition to any garden, providing structure, functionality, and aesthetic appeal to outdoor spaces.

How to Build a Stone Wall  

Building a stone wall using sandstone walling requires careful planning, preparation, and attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to construct a sandstone wall:

Prepare the Site:

Clear the area where the wall will be built, removing any vegetation, debris, or obstacles. Mark the layout of the wall using stakes and string, ensuring straight lines and proper dimensions.

Excavate the Foundation:

Dig a trench for the foundation of the wall, ensuring it is wide enough to accommodate the base stones and deep enough to provide stability. Compact the soil at the bottom of the trench to create a firm base for the foundation.

Install the Base Course:

Place a layer of crushed stone or gravel in the trench to provide drainage and stability. Lay the first course of sandstone walling stones on top of the gravel, ensuring they are level and aligned according to the layout markings.

Build the Wall:

Continue stacking the sandstone walling stones on top of the base course, staggering the joints to create a sturdy and visually appealing structure. Use a level and a string line to ensure that each course is straight and level. Fill any gaps between the stones with smaller stones or mortar to improve stability and prevent shifting.

Add Reinforcement:

For taller walls or walls subjected to lateral pressure, consider adding reinforcement such as metal tiebacks or geogrid to enhance stability and prevent bulging or collapsing.

Finish the Wall:

Once the desired height is reached, cap the top of the wall with flat sandstone coping stones to provide a finished look and protect the wall from weathering. Clean any mortar residue from the surface of the stones using a brush or damp cloth. Optionally, apply a sealer or waterproofing treatment to the wall to enhance durability and weather resistance.

Landscaping and Backfilling:

Backfill behind the wall with soil or gravel, compacting it gently to prevent settling. Landscape around the wall with plants, mulch, or other features to integrate it into the surrounding environment.

Maintenance:

Regularly inspect the wall for signs of damage or deterioration, such as loose stones or mortar joints, and repair as needed. Clean the wall periodically to remove dirt, debris, or biological growth that could compromise its appearance or structural integrity. By following these steps, you can build a durable and attractive stone wall using sandstone walling that enhances the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.
