Yorkstone

Sawn Natural Yorkstone Paving (YPSS)

This finely honed sedimentary sandstone has been the choice of architects and planners in British cities for generations. Because of it's durability, many streets in London and other British cities are paved in Yorkstone.

Although suitable for a contemporary urban environment, this natural sandstone works as well in a country setting, or for surrounding swimming pools and water features.

Yorkstone weathers to a darker buff colour and is the quintessential material for an English country garden. This riven sandstone is split along the natural striations of the rock, giving the surface a natural texture.
