Why British?

While it may seem that most of our paving stone comes from overseas nowadays, so much of what we regard as the best quality stone for paving and hard-landscaping is actually still hewn from the ground of dear old Blighty. Names that are familiar to all: Yorkstone; Pennant stone; Aberdeen granite; Welsh Slate; and Breedon Golden Amber Gravel all originate in British quarries. It’s part of our landscape and our heritage. Perfectly attuned to the seasons and sensibilities of the British climate and the natural environment, there’s nothing more at home in our homes and gardens than native British Stone. No massive cargo ships chugging thousands of miles. This is local stone, the very bedrock of our nation and nothing beats it.
