Kandla Grey Smooth Sandstone Linear Paving - Sawn & Honed - 900x200 - 20mm

Right, so 900×200mm is a completely different proposition to standard paving slabs - this is your edging, banding, and detail material. Too narrow for main paving areas, but perfect for creating borders, lawn edges, step risers, or decorative bands running through larger paved areas. Specialist format for specific jobs where it genuinely shines.

What This Format Is Actually For

900×200mm isn't general paving - it's detail and edge work:

Primary uses:

• Lawn edging and garden borders
• Step risers and treads
• Decorative banding through patio areas
• Pathway edging and definition
• Raised bed surrounds
• Feature details and accents
• Driveway borders

Think of it as the trim and molding of outdoor paving - not the main surface, but the finishing touches that make everything look intentional and polished.

Why The Smooth Finish Matters Here

For edging and detail work, that smooth honed surface actually makes perfect sense:

• Clean lines and crisp edges (precision matters for details)
• Contemporary refined look (suits modern gardens)
• Easier to keep clean in narrow applications
• Comfortable to sit on (for step edges, raised beds)
• Shows dimensional accuracy (important for straight borders)

Where rough riven texture works for large paving areas, smooth finishes create sharper, more defined details - particularly important for edging work where you want clean separation between zones.

Natural Stone Characteristics

Still Kandla Grey sandstone with usual properties:

• Porous material benefiting from sealing
• Ages naturally over time
• Requires normal natural stone care
• Natural variation between pieces
• More maintenance than manufactured edging

The smooth finish doesn't change fundamental stone behaviour - just surface appearance and feel.

Smooth vs Riven For Edging

Interesting consideration for detail work:

Smooth finish advantages:

• Cleaner, sharper lines
• Contemporary aesthetic
• Easier cleaning in narrow applications
• Better dimensional consistency
• More comfortable if sitting on edges

Riven finish considerations:

• More forgiving of dimensional variation
• Traditional rustic character
• Better grip if used as step treads
• Hides imperfections more readily
• Generally lower cost

For crisp modern edging and details, smooth makes sense. For traditional cottage garden borders, riven might suit better.

Where 900×200mm Works

Particularly suited for:

• Modern gardens wanting defined edges
• Step construction (risers and occasional treads)
• Patio detail banding and feature strips
• Lawn edging replacing plastic or metal
• Raised bed surrounds
• Contemporary property boundaries
• Anywhere you need narrow detail material
