What is Black Limestone Paving?
Black Limestone is a stylish and contemporary natural stone paving option that’s become a popular choice across the UK. Affordable, durable, and full of character, it’s perfect for creating sleek patios, pathways, and garden features. Its striking deep charcoal tones bring a bold and modern look, and with different finishes available, it suits a wide range of outdoor designs.
Should you seal Black Limestone paving?
Sealing Black Limestone is highly recommended. As a naturally porous stone, it can absorb moisture which may lead to marks or stains over time. Without sealing, Black Limestone will also gradually fade to a softer, weathered grey. Using a quality sealer helps preserve its rich dark tones, protect against stains, and even enhance its natural colour.

It can be cut and laid into a variety of designs, from sharp modern lines to curved features, giving you the flexibility to create a truly unique outdoor space.
