There Are Many Different Stone Slabs You Can Use For Driveways And Patios
If you are thinking of having a new driveway laid, or perhaps a patio, there are many different kinds of materials that you can use. One of the most popular is paving slabs in Kent, and don’t go making the mistake of thinking that paving slabs have to be square or rectangular. Certainly, a lot of paving slabs are indeed square or rectangular, but they also come in circles, triangles, triangles with curved ends that can be used to create a circle, and irregular shapes as well.
Furthermore, here at Base Driveways we can find you paving slabs in a wide choice of different stones so we can create virtually any patterns of paving slabs that you wish in a variety of different colours of natural stone. While it might be a step too far to have a marble slab driveway (although you could if you wanted to) just imagine a marble patio! It would look absolutely stunning and have friends and family talking about it non-stop.
Many people think that marble is white, and there is certainly a lot of white marble about. However, it also comes in many different colours – blues, greens, russet, greys, and even black. A lot of these marble slabs also have considerable veining and patterns within them, which is dependent upon the other minerals that were present when they were formed in the earth’s crust under immense heat and pressure.
Another choice is natural granite slabs which are immensely strong and are perfect for a driveway which has heavy vehicles on it. You might perhaps choose natural slate which is trending at the moment and is becoming extremely popular. It is hand-riven and diamond sawn and comes in that lovely shade of soft blue/black.
You might also like natural sandstone which has tonal variations and different veining in it and will give your driveway or patio that country feel. It is also perfect for cottage gardens for that reason. If your budget is a consideration, then you could choose to have concrete slabs which are an engineered stone that looks like a natural stone.
Whatever type of stone slabs you choose for your driveway or patio, here at Base Driveways we have the skill and experience to lay your stones so that you get the perfect finish. We work throughout Kent and South London, and we are also fully approved by Kent Highways and Medway Council to install drop kerbs if you need one for access.
