Incorporating a Circle Kit into your garden

Adding a Circle Kit to your garden is a great way to create a striking focal point and elevate your outdoor space. To achieve the best results, it’s wise to treat it as a new project and plan the surrounding paving first. Decide on the paving slabs you’d like to use, as these will set the tone for the design.

Many homeowners opt for Umbra Kandla Grey Sandstone paving slabs and complement them with a matching Circle Kit. This combination creates a cohesive, natural stone patio with a beautifully defined centrepiece that draws the eye and enhances the overall aesthetic.

Circle Kits also work beautifully with Cobble Setts. By matching colours carefully, the smaller cobble stones can accentuate the shape and detail of the Circle Kit, making it a standout feature within the garden.

You’re not limited to paving alone—Circle Kits can be installed on gravel or other decorative stones, giving you the chance to either match colours or create an appealing contrast between the paving and surrounding surface.

Finally, consider installing a Circle Kit within a lawn area, whether artificial or natural turf. This provides a practical, weather-resistant space while adding visual interest and a unique design element to your green space.

A Circle Kit is versatile, stylish, and can be adapted to suit almost any garden layout—whether as a central feature or a decorative accent.

Why choose a Circle Kit?

Whether your garden is small or expansive, adding a Circle Kit can elevate your patio design instantly. It creates a striking focal point that draws the eye and adds a sense of style and sophistication to your outdoor space.

Circle Kits are versatile and can be installed within a paved patio or directly into a lawn. They provide a practical and attractive area, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing outdoors. No matter where you place it, a Circle Kit transforms your garden into a functional and visually appealing space.

What is the Difference Between Sandstone and Limestone Paving?

Many customers wonder about the differences between Sandstone and Limestone paving. While both are natural stones quarried in India, each offers unique qualities that can influence your choice for garden or patio projects.

Durability

• Sandstone: Harder and more robust, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or spaces exposed to harsh weather.
• Limestone: Slightly softer and more delicate, best suited for patios or areas with lighter footfall.

Colour Retention

• Sandstone: Retains its natural colour longer, especially when regularly sealed.
• Limestone: Gradually lightens over time, even with sealing, creating a softer, weathered look.

Finish Options

• Sawn Sandstone: Smooth and refined, perfect for modern or contemporary designs.
• Weathered Paving: Rustic and textured, ideal for traditional or period-style properties.

Both Sandstone and Limestone bring their own character and charm, combining aesthetic appeal with practical benefits—helping you choose the perfect stone to suit your garden’s style and functionality.

What is the Difference Between Sandstone and Porcelain Paving?

Material Origin & Variety

• Sandstone: Naturally formed over thousands of years, offering an organic, earthy colour palette with subtle natural variations.
• Porcelain: Manmade, available in a wide range of colours, finishes, and patterns, giving greater flexibility for modern designs.

Appearance & Texture

• Sandstone: Riven, textured surface with rustic charm, perfect for traditional or period-style gardens.
• Porcelain: Smooth and sleek, ideal for contemporary spaces, while still incorporating non-slip properties for safety.

Colour Retention

• Sandstone: Natural weathering may cause gradual fading over time.
• Porcelain: Maintains its original colour and finish for years, even under constant exposure to sunlight.

Maintenance Requirements

• Sandstone: Needs regular sealing to preserve its appearance and protect against wear.
• Porcelain: Low-maintenance, requiring only occasional jet washing to keep it looking pristine.

Style Recommendations

• Classic & Traditional: Sandstone works beautifully in period gardens and natural landscapes.
• Modern & Streamlined: Porcelain suits contemporary patios, pathways, and outdoor areas.

Hybrid Option
If you love the look of natural sandstone but prefer the low-maintenance benefits of porcelain, consider ‘Natural’ Kandla Grey Porcelain Paving. It replicates sandstone’s textures and colours while offering the durability and easy care of porcelain.

Both materials have distinct qualities, so your choice should depend on your desired style, maintenance preference, and the environmental conditions of your outdoor space.
