The Bespoke Paving Experience

Personalised Design:

Whether you are working with a garden designer, landscape architect, or landscaper, our expertise, experience and skill enable a collaborative approach, resulting in a bespoke paving solution that reflects your style and needs. London Stone offer a whole host of bespoke services, including curved cutting, calibrating, and core drilling.

High-Quality Materials:

We pride ourselves on using only the finest materials for our bespoke paving projects. Our extensive range of natural stone includes versatile riven and sawn sandstones and limestone, hard-wearing slate and granite, and indigenous natural stone: Yorkstone and Portland. Each material is carefully sourced to meet our high standards and to provide long-lasting results.

Expert Craftsmanship:

Our team of skilled sawyers and masons, located at our Bespoke Stone Centre, located just outside Heathrow Airport, bring years of experience and expertise to every project. As part of our bespoke manufacturing process, we often receive scant material (large stone slabs), which we then expertly cut down to size, allowing for larger, and more intricate finished pieces of paving.

From precise cutting using our state-of-the-art CNC machinery to hand-finishing paving slabs, we ensure that every detail is executed to perfection. The result is a flawlessly finished surface that enhances the aesthetic and functional qualities of your outdoor space. We work to exacting tolerances (within +/- 2mm) to ensure that your project progresses without fuss.

As part of our bespoke service, we can also pre-seal your bespoke stone paving slabs prior to delivery, giving you peace of mind that the materials delivered to site are protected against long-term staining. This service is particularly recommended with sawn (smooth) natural stones, like sandstone.

Having a dedicated in-house team of highly skilled production professionals enables London Stone to lead the industry when it comes to bespoke manufacturing.
