Limestone Paving – Elegant Natural Stone

About Our Indian Limestone Range

Indian limestone paving slabs offer the refined, understated elegance of natural stone with a softer, more uniform surface than sandstone — making them a favourite for contemporary patios, courtyards, and minimalist garden designs. Quarried from some of the most established limestone seams in India, these slabs combine subtle natural variation with reliable outdoor performance, all at a price point that consistently undercuts European limestone. Our Indian limestone paving range starts from £21/m² with UK-wide delivery from our Nottingham yard.

The collection covers four of the most in-demand natural limestone colours: deep Kadapa Black for dramatic contemporary patios, rich blue-grey Kota Blue, warm Tandur Yellow, and cool Tandur Grey. Most colours are available in mixed patio packs and 900x600 large-format slabs, with calibrated 22mm thickness for fast, consistent installation.

Indian Limestone Paving FAQs

How much does Indian limestone paving cost in the UK? Indian limestone paving slabs typically cost between £21 and £35 per square metre in the UK, depending on colour, size, and finish. Our limestone range starts from £21/m² for Kadapa Black, with premium colours like Kota Blue at the higher end.

What is the most popular Indian limestone colour? Kadapa Black is consistently the most popular choice for contemporary UK gardens, valued for its deep charcoal tone and ability to make planting and outdoor furniture stand out. Tandur Yellow and Tandur Grey are popular for warmer, more traditional schemes.

Is Indian limestone better than sandstone? Neither is "better" — they suit different design styles. Limestone has a smoother, more uniform surface with deeper, more saturated colours, making it ideal for contemporary and minimalist gardens. Sandstone has more riven texture and warmer, earthier colour variation, suited to traditional and cottage gardens.

Do Indian limestone slabs need sealing? Sealing Indian limestone is recommended, particularly for darker colours like Kadapa Black where surface staining is more visible. A breathable sealant helps protect against food, drink, and garden furniture marks while preserving the stone's natural appearance.

Is Indian limestone slippery when wet? No — Indian limestone has a naturally textured surface that provides good grip in wet conditions, making it suitable for patios, pathways, and around garden features. The riven finish is naturally non-slip.

What sizes are your Indian limestone slabs available in? Our limestone range includes mixed patio packs (laid in a classic random pattern) and single-size 900x600 and 600x600 large-format slabs. The 900x600 format is the most popular size for contemporary patios.

Can I lay Indian limestone slabs myself? Yes — our limestone is calibrated to a consistent 22mm thickness, making it one of the more DIY-friendly natural paving materials. A full mortar bed and the correct sub-base are essential for a long-lasting finish.

Do you deliver Indian limestone paving across the UK? Yes. We deliver Indian limestone paving UK-wide from our Nottingham yard, usually within 2–3 working days. Trade customers can also collect from the yard.
