Driveways

Is your driveway cracked, crumbling, and uneven?

Is it becoming an eyesore?

The perfect solution is a beautiful new driveway with natural stone from Stone and Porcelain.

Can I use any type of stone for my driveway?

Whether you are more traditional and favour timeless and warm sandstone cobbles or have a modern aesthetic and prefer deep charcoal limestone, Stone and Porcelain has plenty of natural stone options for your home driveway.

Contrary to popular belief, most stones on the market are perfectly capable of taking the weight and wear and tear expected from driveway use, even tiles considered delicate, like porcelain.

To ensure they will stand the test of time, you need to make sure of a few key points.

• The correct base for your type of stone is laid.
• The base is level.
• The tile or stone is thick enough to stop it from breaking or cracking.

This means no matter which stone you have your heart set on, as long as the preparation work is completed properly, you can have the driveway of your dreams.

Benefits of a stone driveway

Stone driveways are stunning

You’ll never get a second chance at a first impression, so impress visitors from the moment they arrive with a stunning stone driveway that compliments your home and personal style.

Driveways increase the value of your home

Not only are natural stone driveways beautiful, but they are also an easy way to improve future home valuations. Homes with secure driveways can expect a 5-10% increase in house prices, will sell faster, and experience reductions in car insurance prices.

Driveways make things safer

Similarly, driveways increase the safety of those living in the home, especially if you have small children or pets.

Young children and pets lack road awareness so having a further barrier between the road and your home lessens the likelihood that they will run out into traffic and injure themselves. Natural stone driveways can be paired with fences and gates installed along the perimeter which add to the design and help to keep people safe.

Are stone driveways easy to maintain?

There is a wide selection of stones or styles used more regularly on driveways, thanks to their low maintenance levels.

These include:

• Block paving
• Granite
• Vitrified porcelain
• Cobbles

You can browse our website and find a variety of driveway stones, in a range of colours, shades, and sizes.

These include the Silver Granite linear paving, which features a long, plank-like structure, perfect for modern properties.

Contrastingly, for those looking for a timeless finish, consider Raj Green cobbles, whose riven Sandstone features subtle greens, greys, and browns for a traditional touch.

Whatever your style, you’re limited only by your imagination.
