Why Choose Meli Limestone Paving?

Natural limestone is a popular landscaping material for homes and businesses. It combines a beautiful appearance with long-lasting strength and performance. Meli Dark Grey paving offers the added advantage of distinctive colouring and a subtle, textured acid-washed surface.

Benefits & Features:

  • Naturally strong & hardwearing limestone
  • Distinctive dark grey and charcoal colouring
  • Every slab features natural variations for a unique finish
  • Tumbled edges create softer, characterful paving
  • Ideal for traditional or modern garden designs
  • Pre-sealed paving for additional protection
  • Excellent slip-resistance results

Pre-Sealed to Help Extend Performance and Appearance

Because natural stone paving is porous, we recommend sealing your stone slabs to reduce moisture absorption. Our Meli Limestone Paving saves you that task, as it is manufactured and delivered pre-sealed with a water-based, breathable sealer.

This treatment provides an initial protective layer to help reduce the impact of moisture, staining from spillages, and general wear and tear. This also helps enhance and maintain the colour, appearance and performance of your paving slabs for years to come.

Delivery FAQs

Is Meli Dark Grey Limestone suitable for patios?

Absolutely! Meli Dark Grey Limestone is an excellent choice for domestic and commercial patios. Its hardwearing natural-stone qualities and sophisticated appearance make it suitable for patios in many outdoor settings.

What does acid-washed limestone look like?

Acid-washed limestone creates a subtle, textured surface while still highlighting limestone’s natural character and colours. It offers a more refined appearance suited to contemporary landscapes.

Does Meli Limestone need sealing?

Meli Limestone Paving is pre-sealed. This means it already has a protective layer to reduce moisture absorption, staining, and everyday dirt. You can apply another sealant layer if you wish.

Is Meli Limestone slippery when wet?

No. Thanks to the pre-sealant coating, Meli Limestone has a high slip resistance when wet or dry. The Pendulum Test Value (PTV) for Meli Limestone stands at 62 dry and 50 wet for excellent grip.

Do I need to be home for my order?

No. At George Davies Turf & Stone, our skilled drivers will leave your order precisely where you need it. Add delivery details when ordering or speak to our customer service team.

How to Install Meli Limestone Paving

Follow these 3 easy steps to install limestone paving like a professional:

Step 1: Preparation

  • Measure and Mark: Start by measuring and marking the dimensions of your patio for clarity.
  • Excavate: Dig out the designated patio area to a depth of 200mm to accommodate the sub-base and mortar bed.

Step 2: Installation

  • Install the Sub-Base: Lay a compacted sub-base, ensuring it reaches a depth of 150mm for a sturdy foundation.
  • Create the Mortar Bed: Mix sharp sand and cement to form a mortar bed approximately 25mm thick.
  • Position the Slabs:
    • Apply Primer to the Slab. We recommend using EasyPrime to coat the underside of each slab with a minimum 2 mm layer of primer. Use a trowel or roller to apply the primer evenly across the back of the slab.
    • Gently place each sandstone slab onto the mortar bed and tap it into position with a rubber mallet. Check that each slab is level and aligned with adjacent slabs, ensuring consistent joint spacing for a clean, uniform look.
  • Curing Time: Allow the mortar bed to cure for a minimum of 24 hours after laying the slabs.
  • Joint Filling: Once cured, fill the joints between the slabs with pointing for a finished look.

Step 3: Aftercare

  • Sealing: After installation, apply a coat of EASYSeal SSP (Stone Sealer & Protector) for long-term protection. This water-based, invisible sealer protects the stone from water, oil, and dirt without altering its natural appearance.
  • Regular Cleaning: Clean your sandstone patio regularly to prevent dirt and moss buildup. Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to avoid damaging the stone. (This should be done with a non-acidic cleaner to ensure your natural stone is not damaged)
  • Pointing Maintenance: Periodically check the pointing for any cracks and repair them to maintain the patio’s integrity
