Product Overview  

Black limestone paving slabs, sometimes referred to as Kota Black limestone are ideal for those seeking a classic stone to really add a touch of class to their paving project. These dark, alluring slabs will fill your garden with character and class, whilst still having that calm, understated feel. We also recommend limestone slabs for their uniform appearance and grip - when wet they really show their character as you can see from the pictures.

The mortar bed is laid on top of compacted hard core (MOT) which can range from 100mm to 150mm on average.
