Sandstone Paving
Sandstone paving is an increasingly popular choice for residential driveways, combining heavy-duty strength with high-end curb appeal that sets a property apart from standard concrete or asphalt.
Why Sandstone Works for Driveways
- Exceptional Load Capacity: When cut into thicker setts or cobbles (typically 50mm–80mm thick) and laid over a concrete or compacted sub-base, sandstone easily supports the heavy weight of cars and SUV vehicles without cracking.
High Traction: The naturally gritty, non-slip surface provides excellent tire traction in wet or icy conditions, making it safe for sloped or steep driveways.
Immense Curb Appeal: Unlike plain asphalt or uniform concrete pavers, sandstone setts feature varied earthy tones—ranging from warm creams and rich golds to deep greys—creating a custom, high-end entrance to your home.
Low Thermal Retention: Lighter sandstone shades don’t absorb and radiate intense ambient heat the way black asphalt does, helping keep your driveway area cooler in hot weather.
