FAQs

Is the height of these stones adjustable?

The stones are fixed at 140mm, but you can adjust the visible height by varying the depth at which you set them into the mortar bed.

Can these be used for heavy vehicle traffic?

These are primarily designed for patios, garden paths, and light-traffic decorative walls, not for heavy vehicle driveways.

Do I need to seal the stone after installation?

While not strictly required, using a natural stone sealer can help protect the surface from staining and water absorption, extending its lifespan.

Can I cut the stones to fit my garden layout?

Yes, they can be cut using an angle grinder fitted with an appropriate diamond blade for natural stone.

Will the color fade over time?

Natural stone may weather slightly over many years, but the core material will retain its physical properties and base color palette.

How many pieces should I buy?

Measure the total linear distance of your edging project and divide by the length of each stone, then add 10% extra to account for potential cutting waste.

Troubleshooting

Stones appearing loose after mortar has set

Check if the base foundation was sufficiently compacted. If loose, remove the mortar, re-compact the ground, and reset the piece with fresh mortar.

Noticeable color differences between adjacent stones

This is a characteristic of natural stone. To minimize the effect, dry-lay the stones before mortar application to arrange them in a sequence that blends the color transitions more effectively.

Cracking or chipping

Ensure the stones are fully supported along their entire base. Any gaps in the mortar bed can lead to structural stress points under weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a high-quality, professional finish to landscaping projects
  • Durable natural stone material withstands outdoor weather conditions
  • Versatile design matches various paving styles
  • Provides essential structural support for garden walls and paths

Cons

  • Natural variations mean no two pieces are identical in color
  • Requires manual installation which can be labor-intensive
  • Heavy material compared to composite alternatives
  • Stone may require periodic cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, clear the area and create a shallow trench where the edging will sit. Lay a firm base of compacted hardcore followed by a layer of mortar to ensure the stones remain level. Align the coping pieces end-to-end, checking for horizontal level frequently during the setting process.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with most natural stone paving and traditional block paving systems.

Care: To maintain the appearance, gently brush away debris and dirt regularly. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or pressure washers at extremely high intensity, as this may erode the natural surface of the stone over time. If moss or algae forms, a mild stone-safe detergent and a soft brush are sufficient.
