natural limestone paving

One of the most popular patio materials available, there are many reasons why limestone slabs are the go-to choice for those looking to install natural stone paving in their garden.

First and foremost, limestone slabs are incredibly durable and hard-wearing. They’re almost immune to cracking unless exposed to extreme temperature, yet are porous enough to absorb excess moisture, preventing moss and mould from clinging to them. And this porous nature even has anti-slip properties, making limestone great as poolside tiles.

And on top of all this, unlike other natural stone options, such as sandstone paving, limestone patio slabs have a consistent colour palette, allowing you to seamlessly integrate them into modern and contemporary garden styles without the risk of your new patio looking out of place.

Do I need to be careful when cleaning natural limestone paving?

Although limestone patio slabs are very tough, if exposed to the wrong cleaning products, they can be quickly worn down. Acidic cleaning products, even mild ones, should be avoided when cleaning your limestone tiles, as these risk breaking the seal on your stone, which will make them easier to stain.

We’d also recommend resealing your limestone tiles every few years to ensure maximum protection against said stains, helping you to keep your tiles looking new all year round.
