Natural Paving: Indian Sandstone, Cobblestones, Bluestone & More
With a passion for the most hard-wearing natural paving and aesthetically pleasing stones of the world, Urban Paving have introduced an exciting range of natural stone paving. Our natural paving options come from India’s sun-baked quarries and from our own backyard: NZ’s West Coast.
We have been using Urban Paving for supply of pavers and landscaping products for over 3 years. Their wide range of products is great, especially the Natural Stone which our clients love. They are easy to deal with and get on with the job! ~ Josh Hastie – Trademark Paving
Both Indian sandstone and Waitaha stone present beautiful natural paving options for your outdoor area. Our handcrafted Indian sandstone pavers are all unique in texture and colour. But what these soft, natural paving stones all have in common is that they weather beautifully in any condition.
Waitaha split paving offers a different look. The sparkling grey colour of this natural paving stone makes a feature of anything from walls to pathways, pool and fire surrounds. West Coast Waitaha stones are especially popular as stepping stones.
If you envisage a classic cobbled driveway just like they have been built in England for centuries, ask our natural paving experts about Indian setts. These natural black cobblestones are ideal for driveways or as a feature border around your pool. And to top it off, why not browse our range of natural stone tables and urns?

Our cobblestones are available in most of our colours, but the most popular is black granite. These natural stone setts come in a shallower 40 mm to 60 mm for borders around a pool or patio, or a deeper 80 mm to 100 mm for driveways.

It comes in random shapes and sizes from 300 mm up to 650 mm.
Our exclusive Waitaha Stepping Stones are also from the South Island’s West Coast and make a great feature in a garden, sparkling grey amongst plants. These NZ paving stones are of roughly circular shape, ranging in size from 300 mm to 600 mm and are very popular for garden pathways.

The flamed texture of the natural stone, available in black, grey and white, creates a modern look while still retaining its individual character.
