A smart choice for indoor or outdoor applications, Limestone humbly serves as an enduring and lively outdoor paver – a favoured choice for around the pool or garden.
This versatile material can be used in many ways – it really comes down to the deciding outdoor factors such as density and slip rating.

Fun Fact:
The Great Pyramid of Giza is almost entirely clad in limestone blocks, proof of the durability of this material through the passage of thousands of years. The Egyptians also highly prized limestone because of its physical beauty, considering it a fitting embellishment to their finest work.
Limestone has a fascinating geologic makeup, it’s a calcite based natural stone (which also helps reflect heat) and it’s formed from an array of minerals, including but not limited to, ancient sea creatures – such as coral and pretty much any other fossil that can be found underwater.
The formation of Limestone happens naturally and tastefully through Mother Earth – immense pressure and an unimaginably long span of time form the stones that we today use to decorate our buildings, homes and works of art.
We’ve helped countless people design and create they’re desired space out of this material (and others!) and we’ve spent the time and energy to make sure we know what works and what does not.
We urge you to do the same, put in the time – put in the research and make sure you create a safe, long lasting and beautiful haven in your personal piece of Australia.
There is no limit to the artistic beauty of our Earth and Limestone is a true testament to her magnificent ability.
