Choosing the right paving isn’t just a practical decision — it’s a creative one. From timeless hand-cut stone to contemporary sawn finishes, Stoneworld helps clients transform outdoor spaces with exceptional materials and craftsmanship. Below, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our paving options, while showing why more people choose Stoneworld for quality and care.
Stoneworld offers a wide selection of premium finishes to suit different design styles.
If you’re after a classic, rustic look, our hand-cut paving delivers charming, naturally uneven edges. For something that feels aged and well-worn, our tumbled paving gives the impression that the stone has been in place for decades.
On the other hand, if your project leans toward modern design, our sawn paving provides clean, sharp lines with a precision-cut finish. This style is available in sandblasted (textured) or honed (smooth with a subtle sheen) options. As a result, there’s a finish to match every vision.
Yes — and it’s something we take great pride in.
At Stoneworld, our in-house masonry workshop uses state-of-the-art cutting and carving tools. This allows us to produce bespoke paving tailored to your exact specifications. For example, if your design calls for non-standard dimensions, curved edges, or intricate layouts, we can craft stone that fits your needs perfectly.
In addition, our team is always available to advise on custom formats and finishes.
We stock a carefully curated range of colours, each selected for its beauty and durability.
Popular options include the earthy tones of Raj Green, the cool greys of Kandla Grey, and the warmth of Fossil Mint and Kota Brown. For a brighter, cleaner look, White Mint and Yellow Mint are ideal. These natural tones blend beautifully into both classic and contemporary outdoor spaces.
Therefore, whether you’re creating a tranquil garden path or a standout patio, you’ll find a shade that complements your project.
The best style depends on the look and feel you want to achieve.
If your home or garden has a traditional feel, hand-cut or tumbled paving will enhance its charm. These finishes work particularly well with period properties or natural landscaping. Conversely, sawn paving suits modern builds where straight lines and clean aesthetics are key.
Of course, if you’re unsure, our experienced team is happy to help you make the right choice.
