How Many KG of Stone Do I Need For My Garden?

Why Thick Stone Is the Only Choice for a Premium Patio

Whether you’re planning a new design or updating a tired layout, your choice of stone sets the tone. It’s the base of everything — from visual impact to how it feels underfoot.

Why Thicker Slabs Make a Better Patio

Thicker stone slabs give your patio more strength and stability. They stay secure under heavy use, resist movement, and hold up better against the British weather.

Thinner stones often lead to issues like cracking or uneven surfaces. That’s why we recommend thicker garden patio slabs — they’re simply better built for patios that last.

Stone thickness also affects the total weight in kilograms. For example, a square metre of 22mm Indian sandstone can weigh around 55kg, while a 30mm slab might weigh over 75kg. That extra weight translates to more durability, especially in high-traffic areas or uneven ground. It’s something to keep in mind when calculating how much stone you’ll need — and how solid you want your patio to feel.

Stone That Looks as Good as It Performs


Stone shouldn’t just be practical. It should be beautiful. That’s where our range shines. We offer everything from Indian sandstone paving slabs to white garden rocks and blue slate chippings.
These materials add contrast, texture, and character. Pair your patio with garden edging stones or Cotswold stone chippings to soften borders and tie everything together.


Natural stone is one of the best materials for the UK’s changing weather. Our garden paving slabs are tough, slip-resistant, and built to handle rain, frost, and sun.
Combine them with garden chippings, rockery stones, or garden slate to create a complete and balanced outdoor space that performs as well as it looks.

Add Finishing Touches That Elevate the Design


Our decorative stones and garden pebbles can transform the edges of your space. Use them between slabs, around planting beds, or to guide a path.
Options like stepping stones in garden paths and garden stone steps give shape and structure to larger outdoor layouts. They work especially well when combined with gravel for gardens or sandstone garden edging.
