Limestone paving is a popular and luxurious choice for garden makeovers, and a firm favourite of homeowners across the UK. It's not hard to see why! With its blend of beauty, durability, and versatility, limestone provides an ideal solution for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Whether you're redesigning your patio, adding finishing touches to your driveway or even doing up your kitchen, limestone paving has a range of long-lasting performance and practicality benefits.
For over 30 years, Bridge Street Stone has been dedicated to helping our customers find the perfect paving solutions. We offer expert guidance and a variety of stunning paving options to suit every project and style - limestone being one of them. It's tough to narrow down all the things we love about this beautiful stone, but we can share four reasons that make it such a popular choice with our customers!
This durability helps limestone withstand heavy foot traffic and the ever-unpredictable British weather while keeping its beauty and charm intact. Whether you're laying a garden path, patio, or driveway, limestone ensures your outdoor space remains stylish and functional year after year.
Aside from its grippy surface, limestone also dries quickly too, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about puddles or surface water for too long. With smaller pores than most stones, it’s denser and more resistant to water absorption. Plus, it stays comfortable underfoot no matter the weather, maintaining a balanced temperature in both winter and summer.
Plus, limestone dries quicker than most stones, which means it's less likely to attract moss or algae. Now, this doesn't mean it’s always guaranteed to be free from these sorts of organisms, but as long as you keep it free of debris like leaves, wigs, and general dirt by giving it a routine sweep every now and then, you can really help to keep them at bay. Apart from that, simply seal your paving as often as recommended by the manufacturer, which is usually around every 12-18 months, and you'll keep it looking fantastic for years to come.

Superior durability
Limestone paving is an excellent choice if you're looking for a surface that's as durable as it is beautiful for your next paving project. Our limestone at Bridge Street Stone is primarily dolomitic, meaning it's made mostly of magnesium calcium carbonate, which is what gives it this superior strength by making it more chemically stable and less prone to wear.This durability helps limestone withstand heavy foot traffic and the ever-unpredictable British weather while keeping its beauty and charm intact. Whether you're laying a garden path, patio, or driveway, limestone ensures your outdoor space remains stylish and functional year after year.
Enhanced safety with non-slip properties
Limestone paving has its non-slip surface, making it a smart choice for the ever-changing British weather, especially if you’re out in the garden often. The riven surface ensures a secure grip underfoot, whether it's a long rainy day, a brief summer shower, or you're just nipping through the garden to take the bins out when it’s wet. This also makes it a safe and reliable option for families with young children or elderly members, offering peace of mind when it comes to the likelihood of any slips.Aside from its grippy surface, limestone also dries quickly too, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about puddles or surface water for too long.

Easy to maintain
Another advantage of limestone paving is how easy it is to maintain. Unlike some other materials that can stain easily or degrade more quickly over time, limestone is surprisingly resilient and straightforward to care for. When you notice a build-up of dirt, all it takes is a quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush to keep it looking its best. Just be sure to keep on top of any spills like oil, wine or anything else. The quicker you clean them, the better your stones will look.Plus, limestone dries quicker than most stones, which means it's less likely to attract moss or algae.
