Camel Dust Sandstone Paving Slabs
Warm red and brown hues, a soft two-tone surface and a relaxed natural finish. Camel Dust Sandstone Paving Slabs give a patio the look of a place that has settled into the garden, not one that was dropped on top of it. The colour shifts a little from slab to slab, and that's a big part of the appeal.
- A subtle two-colour look made from two varieties of sandstone
- Can be laid at random or in deliberate stripes and bands
- Popular with landscapers, garden designers, contractors and homeowners
Two sandstones, one surface
Each order combines two varieties of stone: Raj Green sandstone and Modak sandstone. Mixing them is what gives Camel Dust its character. Stagger the slabs randomly and you get a gentle, weathered patchwork. Set them in bands and the patio takes on a more considered, designed feel. Which do we prefer? Random, for most back gardens, though a banded pattern can look very smart along a long pathway.

FAQs
Will Camel Dust sandstone survive Irish weather?
Yes. Sandstone is a hard stone with solid compression strength, and it holds up well in damp climates like ours. Because it is porous, we recommend sealing it to help prevent staining from spills, leaves and general garden grime over time.
Can I order just one slab size instead of the mix?
Yes. The standard order is a mix of 900 x 600 mm, 600 x 600 mm and 600 x 300 mm slabs, but single sizes or custom mixes can be arranged on request. Contact our team with your measurements and we'll do our best to help.
Do I need special mortar for the joints?
You don't need it, but it helps. We offer Rompox joint paving mortar to make jointing easier and give a clean, consistent finish. If you're not sure whether it suits your base or your project, call or message us for advice.
