Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the exact diameter of this Cathedral Circle Kit?

This specific kit creates a circular patio with a diameter of 1.8 meters (approximately 5 feet 11 inches).

Does this kit come with everything I need to install it?

The kit includes all the pre-cut paving stones required to form the 1.8m diameter circular design. You will need to source your own sub-base materials (e.g., compacted aggregate), bedding mortar, and jointing compound.

Can I square off the circular design to fit a rectangular patio?

Yes, you can. Bowland Stone offers specific 'Corner Infill Sets' that are sold separately. These sets allow you to convert the circle into a square formation without requiring you to cut any of the main paving stones.

How do I maintain the 'Weathered York' finish?

The 'Weathered York' finish is designed for low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional cleaning with a stiff brush and water, or a pH-neutral patio cleaner for deeper cleaning, will keep it looking its best. Avoid harsh acidic cleaners.

Is the paving slippery when wet?

The paving features a distinct rough-hewn texture, which naturally provides good slip resistance, even in wet conditions.

Are other sizes or colours available in the Cathedral Circle range?

Yes, while this particular kit is 1.8m in Weathered York, the Bowland Stone Cathedral Circle range is also available in other diameters (2.56m and 3.48m) and colours (Barley and Weathered Moss) as separate product variants.

Troubleshooting

Paving stones become loose or wobbly.

This often indicates an insufficient or compromised mortar bed. Carefully lift the affected stone, clean any old mortar, re-prepare the bed with fresh mortar, and re-lay the stone, ensuring it is level and secure.

Weeds or moss growing between the joints.

Thoroughly remove all weeds and moss manually or using a stiff brush. Once clean, you can apply a suitable weed killer. For prevention, ensure joints are properly filled with a permeable jointing compound or mortar and consider applying a moss/algae killer periodically.

Surface discolouration or stubborn stains.

For general discolouration, a good scrub with a stiff brush and warm soapy water often suffices. For more persistent stains (e.g., oil, rust), use a specialist patio cleaner designed for natural stone, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a striking and elegant focal point in any garden setting.
  • Made from durable, long-lasting stone for years of enjoyment.
  • Requires minimal maintenance and is highly weather-resistant.
  • The natural aesthetic and weathered tones blend beautifully with both modern and traditional homes.
  • The complete kit simplifies the creation of a perfect circular design.
  • Offers flexibility to be squared off with optional Corner Infill Sets.

Cons

  • Corner Infill Sets for squaring off the circle are purchased separately.
  • Installation requires proper groundwork and paving skills, potentially professional help.
  • Paving stones can be heavy, requiring assistance for handling and installation.
  • The specific kit size is fixed at 1.8m; other sizes are separate variants.
  • While low-maintenance, occasional cleaning and weeding are still necessary for optimal appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Installing your Bowland Stone Cathedral Circle Kit involves standard paving practices to ensure stability and longevity:

  1. Site Preparation: Dig out the area to the required depth, ensuring proper drainage. Lay a compacted sub-base (e.g., MOT Type 1 aggregate).
  2. Mortar Bed: Apply a suitable bedding mortar mix over the compacted sub-base.
  3. Laying the Circle: Carefully lay the paving stones according to the circular pattern, using a rubber mallet to firmly bed each stone and ensuring correct levels and falls for drainage. Start from the centre or outer edge as per the kit's instructions.
  4. Jointing: Once the mortar bed has set, fill the gaps between the stones with a suitable jointing compound or mortar mix to secure them.

Compatibility

  • Garden Styles: The 'Weathered York' finish and rough-hewn texture are highly compatible with both traditional country gardens and more contemporary outdoor spaces seeking a natural, earthy feel.
  • Existing Patios: The circle can be seamlessly integrated into existing patio areas. For a square or rectangular patio, Bowland Stone Corner Infill Sets (sold separately) can be used to convert the circle into a square formation without needing to cut any stones.

Care

  • Routine Cleaning: Regularly sweep the patio to remove loose dirt and debris. For a deeper clean, use a stiff brush and warm water. A pressure washer can be used on a low setting, keeping the nozzle moving to avoid damaging the pointing.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a proprietary patio cleaner suitable for natural stone, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
  • Weed Prevention: To prevent weeds and moss, ensure joints are well-filled. Regular sweeping and occasional application of a weed inhibitor can help maintain a clean look. Avoid harsh chemicals that may discolour the stone.
