FAQs

Are these stones suitable for driveways?

These stones are primarily designed for foot traffic in patios and pathways. Consult a professional before using them in areas subject to vehicle weight.

Can I cut these stones to fit corners?

Yes, natural stone can be cut using a masonry saw with a diamond blade, though it requires care to maintain the natural aesthetic of the edges.

Do I need to seal the paving?

While not strictly required, a stone sealer can help protect the surface from staining and make it easier to clean over time.

How do I calculate how many stones I need?

Calculate the area of your space in square meters and add 10-15% extra to account for cutting and the irregular shapes that do not always perfectly interlock.

Can these be laid on a grass surface?

For stability and long-term durability, it is highly recommended to install these on a proper sub-base of crushed stone and sand.

Troubleshooting

Stones feel wobbly after installation

The sub-base may not be sufficiently compacted. Ensure the foundation is level and stones are fully bedded into the mortar.

Mortar joints cracking

This is often due to moisture freezing in the joints. Use a high-quality, frost-resistant outdoor mortar mix.

Surface discoloration or moss buildup

Regularly sweep the area to prevent organic matter decay and use a mild detergent to clean stubborn spots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a unique, bespoke look for every project
  • High-quality authentic natural stone material
  • Excellent for creating curved paths and organic shapes
  • Durable and weather-resistant surface

Cons

  • Installation requires more planning due to irregular shapes
  • Requires more mortar or filler for wider gaps between stones
  • Heavier and more labor-intensive to move than concrete pavers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, prepare a solid foundation of sub-base material topped with a leveled sand or grit layer. Because the stones are irregular, you must use a strong mortar mix to secure them in place and fill the voids between them. Ensure you account for proper drainage by maintaining a slight slope away from any structures. For long-term care, lightly scrub the stone with a stiff-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove moss or debris, and avoid using high-pressure washers, which can degrade the natural surface or damage the mortar joints over time.
