You don’t need to be an expert to guess the basics of how Indian sandstone and other sorts of natural paving slabs are made; they’re quarried, and then cut into paving slabs.

Over the years here at Bridge Street Stone we’ve found that we tend to get a lot of questions from our customers about natural paving surfaces, including limestone and Indian sandstone. These questions range from relatively involved ones about technical capabilities and laying patterns to more simple ones like ‘is Indian sandstone made in India?’.
