Natural Sandstone is the ideal choice if you want to bring natural beauty to the outside of your home, especially for your driveway. Sandstone is actually easy to work with as it is both tough and strong. Sandstone paving is no longer an expensive option - in fact it's an affordable choice that is popular with home owners. In this guide I'm going to share with you the advantages of opting for sandstone paving for your driveway renovation.
For those of you who don't know what Sandstone paving is, it's formed from sedimentary rock. It consists of sand-size clasts or grains of minerals and organic matters.
Aesthetics
Sandstone comes in a variety of natural colours, from warm beige and creamy whites to rich reds and deep browns. This means you can match or contrast it to your surroundings. As sandstone is natural it's appearance develops over time making it even more pleasing to the eye.
Strength and Durability
Thanks to its strength and durability sandstone paving is ideal for high traffic areas like your driveway. This is because it can withstand the elements, foot traffic and temperature fluctuations. So it's an investment as it's long lasting and strong so unlikely to need replacing as often as other materials.
Value to the home
Driveways have a big impact on your home's kerb appeal, which in return has a high impact on your homes valuation. Sandstone paving generally adds value to your property.
Safety
Sandstone paving is slip resistant as it's a textured surface. This makes it a safe choice for walking on without the fear of falling over.
Low maintenance
Sandstone requires little maintenance and only really requires regular cleaning and occasional sealing to keep it looking good as new and in top condition.
