Circles
Fairstone Driveway Setts are the perfect way to make your driveway really stand out. There is a suitable Fairstone Driveway product whatever your preferences and requirements. Those who prefer driveway patterns using just one size block, have a choice of 4 different 200x100 blocks- 2 different finishes and 2 beautiful colours.
Fairstone natural stone walling adds another dimension to any landscape setting. Whether as a border to complement your patio or driveway or to provide additional structure or interest to complete a garden project, Fairstone walling is the ideal complement to your transformation.
Fairstone Natural Stone circles provide a stunning focal point to any garden transformation. Whether incorporated as part of a laying pattern using a squaring off kit or on its own as a standalone feature, Fairstone circles are the perfect compliment.
No Fairstone job would be complete without the new Fairstone Sawn steps. It is the attention to detail that can make the difference to any installation and the Fairstone Steps were introduced to make such a difference. Sawn and lightly shot blasted with a hand crafted bullnosed edge, Fairstone Steps are the ideal finishing touch.
Available in either the hand split Riven finish or the subtly distressed Antique finish, Fairstone Circles are calibrated to a consistent thickness of 22mm for precise installation and easier laying.
For those who prefer laying patterns which include more than one size, Marshalls newest addition to the range, which has a lightly riven surface and smooth sides will give a really premium look. Whichever Driveway Setts you choose they will be made from the same stone, so for a truly unique look various sizes and finishes can even be mixed together.
