SCHIST PAVING
Schist is a natural stone known for its unique textures and colors. Often used for irregular paving, schist stones are set into a medium such as soil, bark or pebbles, creating a charming and natural look.
Schist is an excellent choice for paving stones, including its durability, slip resistance, and ability to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Whether for garden paths, courtyards, or outdoor landscapes, schist paving adds a touch of rustic elegance and timeless appeal to any space.
Paving for Patios
Schist paving stones are ideal for creating stunning and durable patios. The natural cleft surface of schist provides a slip-resistant texture, making it safe for outdoor use. Schist patios offer a visually appealing space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, seamlessly blending with natural surroundings.
Schist Stepping Stones
Schist stepping stones provide a functional and decorative solution for navigating through gardens, lawns, and other outdoor areas. These stones can be strategically placed to create pathways that protect grass and plants from foot traffic while adding an artistic element to the landscape.

The natural variation in color and texture of schist paving stones adds character and beauty to garden paths. These paths can guide visitors through different areas of the garden, providing an inviting and aesthetically pleasing journey.
