FAQs
Can these stones be cut to size?
Yes, they can be cut using a masonry saw with an appropriate diamond-tipped blade.
Are these stones suitable for a driveway?
These stones are primarily designed for pedestrian traffic like patios and paths. Check structural requirements before using for vehicular traffic.
How do I handle the natural color variations?
Mix the contents of multiple packs during installation to achieve an aesthetically balanced finish.
Do I need to seal the paving?
While not strictly required, a natural stone sealer can help protect the surface from oil stains and ease the cleaning process.
What is the best way to clean bird droppings or organic debris?
Use warm water and a neutral pH soap. Avoid acidic or bleach-based cleaners which can permanently discolor the natural stone.
Troubleshooting
Stones appearing uneven after installation
Ensure the underlying sub-base is perfectly level and that the mortar bed thickness is consistent before placing the stone.
Stones becoming loose over time
Check the jointing compound between stones and re-point any areas where the mortar has cracked or eroded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a long-lasting installation, always start with a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, followed by a layer of sharp sand or a wet-mix mortar bed depending on your local soil conditions. Proper drainage is critical; ensure the path or patio has a slight slope away from any building foundations to prevent water pooling. For maintenance, a periodic sweep with a stiff-bristled broom will remove debris. To clean stubborn stains, use a mild stone-safe detergent and water, avoiding high-pressure washers, which can damage the natural surface structure of the stone.
