Yorkstone Paving in York

York is one of the few English cities where the underlying building stone is part of the legal status of the place — the conservation area encompasses most of the city walls and a remarkable percentage of the streets within. New work in York gardens — whether the Georgian terraces around Bootham, the Victorian villas of Heworth, or the larger plots out towards Bishopthorpe and Acomb — is held to a heritage standard that usually rules out anything other than natural stone for the paving.

Yorkstone is the obvious answer, and as a Yorkshire-quarried material it carries the provenance the conservation work expects. We supply across the YO postcodes for paving, walling, copings and bespoke threshold cuts. Reclaimed Yorkstone is the most-asked-for finish in York's older quarters; aged Greetland fits the new-build and renovation work where consistent thickness matters; riven hand-finished sits comfortably alongside the older stone walls in the suburbs.

Our stone is cut at our Yorkshire stoneyards — a Yorkshire customer ordering Yorkstone is, quite literally, ordering local material. We deliver to YO postcodes regularly, with free delivery on orders over £1,500. Bespoke cuts are handled at the yard before delivery, which is particularly useful for York's listed and conservation-zone properties where standard sizes rarely meet the original openings.

Free samples travel by post for clients who'd rather decide at home. For substantial projects, quarry visits can be arranged — easier than the trip south to our Cranleigh showroom.
