The choice between natural stone and manmade reconstituted concrete paving can be a hard one. Peoples perception is that natural paving is far more expensive than manmade paving. This is partly true, there are some natural products that a far more expensive than concrete products but now with the importing of natural stones from India this has changed slightly with some natural paving products cheaper than concrete paving. This then brings the choice down to what you want from your finished patio. Concrete paving tends to be more uniform in colour and thicker than natural stone and some people prefer this. Natural stone's advantages over concrete are becoming more apparent over the years we have been selling paving. It tends to keep its colour longer over unsealed concrete paving and also tends to be much harder to break. Natural paving tends to have larger paving slabs in their ranges whereas concrete paving relies on smaller slabs.
