Stone Paving

Stone Paving

Stone Paving is an excellent choice for gardens due to its versatility in colors and patterns. These Paving adds a unique touch to your outdoor space. Their durability allows them to withstand heavy foot traffic and various weather conditions without sustaining damage, including resistance to cracking in freezing temperatures.

Indian Sandstone Paving

Indian Stone Paving (primarily Indian Sandstone) is beloved for its rich colours and natural texture. These slabs display warm, earthy tones and are often left with a riven (rough-hewn) finish, giving a rustic yet elegant look. Importantly, Indian sandstone is very strong and durable – “sandstone paving slabs are an incredibly versatile paving option…fully capable of withstanding pressure from people walking above”. This makes them ideal for busy patios, paths, and garden areas throughout the UK. Patio Paving supplies calibrated and hand-cut Indian stone flags in a variety of shades (from golden buff to pink and grey) so you can mix and match as you like. All our Indian Sandstone paving slabs are covered by free nationwide delivery and backed by our promise of honest, reliable service.

Crazy Paving

Crazy Paving uses irregular, random-shaped natural stones laid together to form a playful, mosaic-like surface. Instead of uniform slabs, crazy paving is made of different-sized pieces with uneven edges, creating an organic, rustic appearance. As one guide explains, crazy paving involves “different-sized natural stones…laid out in a random arrangement…with an irregular shape”. This flexibility makes it easy to cover odd or winding areas, and the irregular surface often provides good slip resistance. Crazy paving adds a charming, vintage feel to any space – perfect for a laid-back patio or garden path. At Patio Paving we stock crazy paving kits in sandstone and slate, letting you achieve that classic look without the hassle of cutting stones yourself. And with free UK delivery and competitive pricing on every order, it’s simple to pick up everything you need and create your own unique crazy paving design.

Paving Circle

A Paving Circle (or Round Paving Circle, Circle Kit) is a pre-cut set of natural stone pieces designed to form a perfect round feature. These kits typically include concentric rings of stones that slot together to create a circular patio or focal point. They are often used to center a garden seating area, firepit or statue, adding instant elegance without complex cutting. As one supplier notes, a hand-split sandstone circle kit “creates an interesting focal point within a paved area or works equally well as a standalone feature”. Patio Paving’s circle kits are available in sizes from small to large and in natural sandstone or limestone. This means you can quickly install a professional-looking round patio with matching textures and colours. Plus, our free UK-wide delivery ensures your circle kit arrives safely at your door, ready to transform your outdoor space into a stylish haven.

Smooth Paving

Smooth Paving refers to stone slabs with a sawn or honed finish, giving them a sleek, clean look. These slabs have straight, regular edges and a finely dressed surface, making them perfect for modern or formal patio designs. Smooth paving has a “premium appeal for a sleek, modern finish to any patio design”. Natural stone varieties like polished sandstone or limestone will often show subtle veining or colour patterns, which add visual interest while still maintaining a refined appearance. This polished finish feels comfortable underfoot and is very easy to sweep or hose clean. At Patio Paving, our smooth paving collection includes sawn sandstone and limestone slabs in a range of attractive colours. You’ll get the contemporary style of smooth stone along with Patio Paving’s affordability and free delivery UK-wide, so creating a polished, upscale patio is hassle-free.

Textured Paving

Textured Paving features stones with cleft, tumbled or split surfaces that provide grip and a rustic character. These finishes highlight the stone’s natural texture, making each slab unique. Because the surface is uneven, textured paving is more slip-resistant and hides dirt or minor wear well. For example, a tumbled sandstone patio might have an aged finish and be “built to last – low absorbency, great frost resistance, and low-risk slip resistance”. This makes it especially suited to family gardens, poolside areas or traditional homes where safety and longevity are key. We offer textured paving in a variety of natural stone types (sandstone, limestone and granite) to match your style. Whether you choose a gently cleft limestone or a heavily textured granite, you’ll enjoy Patio Paving’s robust product quality along with our signature free delivery and reliable service. Browse Textured Paving Slabs to add depth and character to your landscape.

Tumbled Paving

Tumbled Paving Slabs undergo a special finishing process that gives them a weathered, antique look. To tumble stone, the slabs are placed in a rotating drum with abrasive materials. This “softens their outline by smoothing the sharp edges and corners,” creating gently rounded edges and an aged patina. The result is a patio that looks as though it’s been in your garden for decades. Tumbled stone (commonly sandstone or limestone) blends beautifully with period properties or cottage-style gardens, adding a relaxed, time-worn feel. It’s also practical – the rounded edges make tumbled slabs a bit easier on bare feet and suitable for steps or BBQ areas. At Patio Paving, our tumbled paving range includes popular stones like antique-look limestone and mixed sandstone. Order any of our tumbled stone slabs and enjoy our free UK-wide delivery; we’ll bring the authentic vintage charm straight to your project.

Linear Paving

Linear Paving consists of long, narrow slabs that create a contemporary, streamlined look. These slender rectangular units can be laid in uniform rows or offset patterns, often making a small patio appear more spacious. As one supplier describes, the “sleek, narrow shape creates a modern urban look”. Linear slabs are available in a variety of materials – for example, black granite linear pavers can create a sharp, modern aesthetic, while longer sandstone or limestone units lend a minimalist natural look. They’re ideal for driveways or paths too, since their shape can handle light vehicular use when properly installed. Patio Paving’s linear paving collection includes granite and natural stone slabs in several lengths (some as long as 1m or more). No matter which stone you pick, you’ll get consistent quality and quick, free delivery across the UK. Our friendly team ensures an affordable price and all the help you need to lay a perfect linear pattern.

BBQ Slabs

BBQ Slabs are extra-thick, heavy-duty stone slabs designed specifically for outdoor grills and kitchen areas. Often used as the base or countertop for a built-in barbecue, these slabs are much thicker (commonly 50mm or more) than regular patio tiles, allowing them to withstand high heat and weight. For example, some granite types are offered “exclusively in BBQ slabs for countertops and outdoor kitchens” – a clear sign of their intended use. Patio Paving stocks BBQ slabs in popular materials like Raj Green sandstone and durable granite, all in large formats suited to BBQ walls or standing cookers. Each slab’s natural strength and heat resistance means your barbecue surface will stay sturdy and stylish even under heavy use. And of course, all BBQ slab orders qualify for our free UK-wide delivery and come with the same affordable pricing and reliable service that Patio Paving is known for.
