Yorkstone Paving in Guildford

Guildford has been building in stone for nine hundred years. The castle's Norman keep, the cathedral on Stag Hill, the cobbled stretch of the High Street — the town's character is bound up with what it could pull out of the North Downs and what came down from further north. Yorkstone has always been the long-distance favourite for the better houses: durable, dignified, the colour of late-afternoon sun.

We supply paving across Guildford and the GU postcodes regularly — from period townhouses in Charlotteville and Onslow Village wanting reclaimed flags to match the original front-path stone, through to new garden builds in Stoughton, Burpham, Merrow and Worplesdon that lean towards a sawn or aged finish for a cleaner line. Our Cranleigh yard is nine miles south down the A281; on most weeks, an order placed on a Monday is on a Guildford driveway by Wednesday morning.

A recent Guildford project — visible in our Aged Greetland case study — was a back garden in a 1930s house off Epsom Road. The clients wanted the patina of reclaimed without the cost or the laying complications that come with hundred-year-old stone of inconsistent thickness. Our exclusive Aged range is cut to a uniform thickness in Yorkshire, then weathered using an eco-conscious ageing process before it leaves the quarry. Two years on, the patio reads as if it had always been there.

Whether the project is heritage-led, contemporary, or somewhere in between, we'd encourage a sample visit to the Cranleigh showroom first — Yorkstone reads quite differently in afternoon Surrey light than it does in a brochure.
