Frequently Asked Questions
What are stone circles used for? +
Stone circles are most commonly used to create a focal point within a garden or patio area. They’re often installed as circular seating areas, decorative features or as part of a larger patio design. Their curved shape adds visual interest and helps break up larger paved spaces, creating a feature that naturally draws the eye.
Stone circles can be used on their own or combined with other paving styles to create a more detailed garden layout. They’re great for creating a dedicated area for outdoor furniture, fire pits or entertaining spaces, helping give the garden a more structured feel.
What are stone setts used for? +
Stone setts are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of outdoor projects. They’re often used as borders around patios, pathways and driveways, helping define different areas while adding texture and contrast to the overall design. They can also be laid to create decorative pathways, inset details within paving or smaller paved areas where you want a more intricate finish.
Do stone circles, setts and edgings need sealing? +
We generally recommend sealing natural stone products once they have been installed. Natural stone is porous, meaning it can absorb moisture, dirt and marks over time. Applying a suitable sealant helps protect the surface, makes maintenance easier and can enhance the natural colours within the stone.
The best sealant will depend on the type of stone you choose, so if you’re unsure which product is right for your project, our team will be happy to help.
Can stone setts be used with Indian sandstone paving? +
Yes, stone setts are a popular choice to use alongside Indian sandstone paving. They can be used to create borders, define patio areas or add contrast around the edges of your paving. While we have a variety of different Indian sandstone setts available, pairing different stone products together can be a great way to add extra detail and create a more bespoke garden design.
Are stone edgings only decorative? +
While stone edgings certainly add a decorative finish, they also have a practical purpose. They help create clear boundaries between different areas of your garden, such as patios, lawns, borders and planting areas. This makes your outdoor space feel more structured while helping keep paving and garden features neatly defined.
