Havana Sandstone is a very popular paving colour, as with any grey paving, due to the popularity of grey interiors and grey exteriors rising. These dark grey paving slabs are available as an array of mid to light-grey pavers; a colour palette that instantly modernises and elevates any outdoor space, whether domestic or commercial.
Here at Stone Zone, we supply Sandstone and Limestone Block Paving slabs that come in a wide range of colours. We think so many of our customers opt for Block Paving because of how easy it is to maintain, especially when laid out on a driveway or pathway. The Stone Zone Block Paving slabs have all gone through a calibration process, which means that they are long-lasting and durable, and remain so for the foreseeable future.
We also supply block paving in Kandla Grey Sandstone, Citron Yellow Limestone, Carbon Black Limestone, Dove Grey Limestone and Savanna Sandstone.

Grey Paving Slabs
Grey paving slabs are one of the most popular products throughout the Stone Zone range, and it is due to the versatility and modernity of the grey colour. These block paving slabs come in a variety of mid to light-grey shades that will make your garden visually appealing in a snap. The chic grey colour will work especially with white or black garden features, creating a monochromatic look; for example, White Pebbles or Black Ice decorative stones will look fantastic with these slabs.
Havana Block Paving for Your Garden
If you are thinking about jazzing up your current, plain driveway, you should consider laying Sandstone Block Paving slabs in your garden. These Block Pavers are perfect if you are looking for a garden surface that is low maintenance yet still looks chic and evergreen. One of the most well-known uses for Block Paving is to install it in your driveway. These paving slabs are sturdy and long-lasting, which makes them ideal for domestic and commercial settings that see a lot of foot and car traffic.
Furthermore, if you are instead looking to jazz up your back garden so it's easier to upkeep, then these grey paving tiles are a great option. As a result of the block paving slabs being a smaller size, you are able to create more unique and fun designs that are not possible with larger, traditional paving slabs. Additionally, due to their size, they make a great choice for garden borders that you can easily match with the paving you have chosen.
Why Choose Block Paving?
There are a range of factors why many of our customers choose block paving slabs for their outdoor space. First off, these block paving slabs are extremely strong and have excellent longevity, making them perfect for areas that get heavy foot and vehicular traffic; in both commercial and domestic settings. The paving slabs are 50mm thick, you can be reassured that you have a durable surface that will not need replacing for decades.
We are always working hard to ensure that our Sandstone block paving slabs are sourced ethically and are environmentally friendly. Sandstone is a natural stone that we procure from Indian stone quarries; these stone formations have been present in this area for hundreds of years. Opting to place Sandstone, Limestone or other natural stones in your garden removes the manufacturing process that is needed for Porcelain Paving, and therefore prevents some energy wastage that would've been used on gas and electricity, making Natural Stone a slightly greener option.
Overall, Sandstone Block Paving slabs are longer-lasting and are fairly simple to take care of. These Block paving slabs have already been through a calibration process, but they still need sealing, for which you can use Azpects EasySeal Stone Sealer & Protector. Once you have properly sealed the paving slabs, there is not much maintenance required. We do strongly advise that you clean across the paved area, giving it a good sweep fairly frequently and a jet washing every 6 months.
Block paving slabs are a cost-effective solution to creating your dream driveway or patio; this is specifically true when compared with other features like traditional Paving slabs or natural Decorative stones and chippings. Block pavers are also simple to work with, as you easily calculate how many pieces you would need for any given project, and to install them, you only require a sub-base and one layer of the Block Pavers. On the other hand, installing Garden Stones is a much more laborious and time-consuming process, as, alongside the sub-base, you would need a substantial layer of stones for the project to work.
Finally, Block Paving is available in many colour options, including Grey Block Paving, Black Block Paving and Beige Block Paving. There are also two natural stone options, as well as 20mm Porcelain Cobble Setts, which are a very similar alternative.
What is the Difference Between Block Paving and Cobble Setts?
The most notable difference between Block Paving and Cobble Setts is their depth; Block Paving is 50mm thick and, as a result, can be utilised for walkways and driveways, which is not possible with Cobble Setts, which are much thinner and therefore aren't able to withstand the weight and too much traffic. As a result, due to their slimmer frame, cobble setts are most appropriate as borders, stepping stones and decoration rather than a heavy-duty functional paving method.
Looking after your Paving
Looking After Your Paving
Limestone and Sandstone is a natural stone and as a result of that, the slabs will discolour and change to a slightly lighter shade of blue over time.
However, there are ways to hinder the fading process and in order to ensure the colours remain as fresh and vivid as possible, we highly recommend purchasing a sealer alongside your order with us to ensure the natural colour remains for years to come.
Sandstone and Limestone Differences
What is the Difference Between Limestone and Sandstone Paving?
There are several qualities between Limestone and Sandstone Paving Slabs that are very similar and this is because both of these paving slabs derive from natural stone quarries based in India where large forms of natural stone have developed over thousands of years.
As the more economical option, Limestone is a tad bit more brittle in comparison to Sandstone. But please don't forget that once Limestone has been installed, the durability will be the same as Sandstone Paving, therefore you won't need to worry about the slabs getting damaged.
One factor to take note of is that Limestone will naturally discolour as time passed, whether or not you have applied Sealant to the slabs. And this eventual fading does require some maintenance and TLC to retain the original colour as long as possible. Maintaining the original colours in Sandstone Paving is a little easier in comparison.
We supply a varied range of Sandstone and Limestone Paving that come in different types and styles. We supply Sandstone and Limestone paving slabs in a Weathered Paving version, with Sandstone Paving slabs can also be bought as Sawn Paving too. If you also want matching garden edging or a nice patio paving border, matching Cobble Setts are also available for both Sandstone and Limestone Paving.
Taking all these factors into consideration deciding between Sandstone Paving or Limestone Paving, it really depends on the colours you are looking for, and whether or not you are not bothered about your Indian Limestone fading over time. Both require the same upkeep and have a lovely rustic look to them.
Why Choose our Natural Paving
Our paving slabs are calibrated to a 22mm depth which ensures perfect size consistency, long-lasting durability and high quality when laying the slabs.
These slabs are much more porous than other paving materials, especially when compared to Porcelain Paving slabs. This high porosity is a result of the fact that Limestone and Sandstone are naturally developed stones and because of this they will also show signs of discolouration as well, but fear not! Using a sealer can "lock in" the colour of your slabs for years to come.
