Limestone Patio Builders

Limestone has been used in Irish homes for generations, and its soft blue-grey colour still sits naturally beside brick, render and planting. It gives a patio a calm, classic look that does not date.

Each limestone slab has its own natural markings, so no two patios look quite the same. Smooth and textured finishes are available, with textured stone giving more grip on wet days.

Limestone is laid on a dug-out, compacted base with a gentle fall away from the house, and it can be combined with steps, paths and raised beds in matching stone.

FAQs

Limestone Patio Questions

What Colour Is Limestone Paving?

Most patio limestone is a soft blue-grey, with natural markings that vary from slab to slab. Samples at the visit show the range.

Does Limestone Get Darker When Wet?

Yes. Like most natural stone, limestone darkens when wet and returns to its lighter shade as it dries, which many people like.

Does Limestone Need Sealing?

It can be sealed to make stains easier to clean off, but it is not essential. We explain the options when you choose the stone.

Is Limestone a Good Choice in Wet Weather?

Yes. A textured limestone finish gives good grip, and laying the patio to a proper fall stops water from standing on it.

Can Limestone Be Used for Steps?

Yes. Limestone steps and treads can be laid to match the patio for one continuous finish.
