How Rippon Buff Paving Slabs Effortlessly Add Colour To Your Garden

Rippon Sandstone paving is an environmentally friendly way to bring the natural colours and rugged beauty of natural stone to your outdoor space. These attractive limestone paving slabs have within them a myriad of naturally occurring colours, ranging from browns and creams through shades of orange and on into gentle purples which run over the surface of each and every slab. When the stones are wet the colours deepen which means the earthy and rich natural tones founds within the sandstone become even beautiful when it rains – something of a bonus in the British climate.

But the subtle beauty of these colours is just one of the ways that Rippon Sandstone paving brings benefits to your garden. These attractive sandstone flagstones are also incredibly easy to maintain which means that their care is also effortless. This is a feature that you should never overlook when planning a garden project such as a patio.

We are always saddened when we see a patio or path that was once pristine and beautiful but has become marred by ugly algae and messy moss because the householders have found it too hard to keep the paving clean. We are very pleased to be able to reassure our customers that Rippon Sandstone paving requires no maintenance beyond a very occasional blast from a pressure-washer which will leave them looking every bit as good as the day on which they were laid.

Obviously much of the beauty of our Rippon sandstone slabs lies within the unique colour patterns that are naturally occurring within the rock. These are sandstone flagstones that have been quarried from a large section of a real rock face, then cut and dressed into paving slab sized pieces. This process is completely natural – there are no industrial chemicals involved - so the colours within the rock are distributed in a naturally random pattern which means that there is a degree natural variation between each slab so no two paved areas will ever be the same.

But however beautiful these sandstone slabs are to look at, and however easy they are to maintain you need to know that your paving will last. It is the case that sandstone is a relatively soft rock, as rocks go and much harder paving surfaces, like exterior porcelain paving tiles, are available. However for all their softness sandstone slabs deliver an extremely durable surface which means the beauty of your Rippon sandstone paving will be enhancing your exterior space for decades after they have been laid down.

But there is more than effortless colour and durability to Rippon sandstone paving slabs. The texture of the stone’s surface makes them naturally slip resistant, so these stones are incredibly well-suited to the rainy climate. Flagstones forming a pavement in Britain stand a fairly good chance of being wet for more often than they are dry after all, but in this age of climate change and ultra-hot summers this non-slip water resistance also makes them a practical and beautiful choice for paving the area around swimming pools too.

The natural way in which this gorgeous stone is quarried also makes Rippon Sandstone an environmentally sound choice – and the positive environmental impact does not just stop at manufacture. Should you ever decide to redesign your outdoor space the paving slabs can be lifted and re-used multiple times. Their natural colours also work well with retaining walls constructed from dark coloured reclaimed engineering bricks, so your whole garden project can be kind to the Earth as well as beautiful.

So explore the possibilities of Rippon Sandstone and let its natural beauty bring beautifully effortless colour to your garden.
