PORCELAIN & NATURAL STONE
Natural stone paving is one of the most timeless and elegant choices for outdoor landscaping. Materials such as limestone, sandstone, granite and slate offer unique textures, rich natural colours and long lasting durability. Each stone slab is naturally formed, giving every patio, walkway or driveway a distinctive character that cannot be replicated by manufactured materials. At Levels Landscapes, we install high quality natural stone to create beautiful, durable outdoor spaces that blend perfectly with both traditional and modern gardens
Porcelain vs Natural Stone Paving
When choosing paving for your garden, the two most common options are porcelain paving and natural stone paving.
While they can sometimes look similar, they are very different materials and can vary in cost depending on the type and finish.
Porcelain paving is a manufactured tile made from refined clays and minerals that are pressed and fired at extremely high temperatures. It is very durable, highly resistant to stains and moisture, and requires very little maintenance.
Porcelain slabs usually have very consistent colours and finishes, making them a popular choice for modern patios and walkways. In terms of price, porcelain paving is often mid to high range, depending on the quality and brand.
Natural stone paving is quarried directly from the earth and includes materials such as limestone, sandstone, granite and slate. Each slab is unique, with natural variations in colour and texture that create a timeless and authentic look. Natural stone can vary more in price, with some options being more affordable while premium stones can be more expensive.
At Levels Landscapes, we help our clients choose the right paving option based on their budget, style preferences and how the space will be used, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and long lasting.
