Style and Practicality With Paving Slabs

Perfect for a wide variety of outdoor uses, paving slabs offer a sturdy, attractive surface for walking areas. There are a variety of options available within the UK, offering different finishes and colours, allowing you to create clear paths, welcoming courtyards, and sophisticated driveways.

Where Can Paving Slabs Be Used?

Paving slabs, sometimes called paving stones, are flat carved stones, typically in square or rectangular shapes, that are designed to be installed within an exterior space. Paving slabs can be used for multiple purposes, offering great strength and easy maintenance for homeowners. Within domestic or commercial environments, there is a range of uses for paving slabs:

• Garden patios: Patios are popular choices for creating solid areas within a garden, typically adjoining a house. This could create everything from a relaxation area with a few chairs to an outdoor dining area for entertaining guests. Paving slabs intended for patios will sometimes be called patio stones or patio slabs.
• Driveways: Paving slabs can be a fantastic choice for a driveway, thanks to their strength, support and looks.
• Paths: Paving slabs are popularly used to create paths within a garden, whether that’s to lead guests from a driveway to a house, or to offer a walkway through a larger natural space. Paving slab paths can offer a striking contrast to plant beds or other natural features within a garden.
• Pool surroundings: The area around a swimming pool can be a large slipping hazard, which can make certain paving slabs a great choice. Opting for a slab with a textured finish can allow you to stay safe around your pool.
• Courtyards: For domestic or commercial properties, a courtyard can be a welcoming paving area for your home. Paving slabs will offer strong and attractive flooring for a courtyard, especially when installed in a pattern.
