We love natural stone products, and often use them as paving, walling and features in the gardens and houses that we design and build. Sometimes it is natural to use the local stone (or something which is sympathetic to it) as a way to link the project to the local area, or to existing buildings. We often use reclaimed stone to give a look full of character or charm. Some natural stone products are used in contemporary settings. Sawn and flamed granites and basalts in black, silver or grey are particularly effective used in this way.
