My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It isn't tiling. I used a Limestone slab from the South Coast of England. It was sealed. I have used this product in one other garden and it is by far the best. It isn't slippery and doesn't go green from algae growth like sandstones.

      This is beautiful landscaping well done! What type of trees are used along the fence line? I'm looking for something to provide the best privacy for my lot and would love recommendations. Thank you.

      Can someone tell me if limestone fades in colour? We want grey, and am confused between limestone, sandstone, slate or some kind of composite - any suggestions?

      The limestone is beautiful. Does it have a trade name? I've googled limestone south east England and cannot identify the exact stone. Many thanks

      This stone came from Lovell Purbeck quarries near Swanage.

      If you do use the new exterior porcelain tiles they still have to meet British Standards on slippage so just select those made for exterior use. There are some fab products available.
