Crazy paving: What they are and how to use them
Crazy paving, also known as irregular stone paving, is a type of paving that uses naturally shaped stones of different sizes to create a unique and stylish finish. Crazy paving can be used to pave any outdoor or indoor area, including patios, driveways, gardens, walkways, pool areas, and even wall features.
Crazy pavers can be made from a variety of materials, including:
- Sandstone
- Travertine
- Bluestone
- Limestone
- Granite
- Slate
Travertine is the most popular type of crazy paving, as it is a durable and versatile material that is available in a wide range of colours. Sandstone and bluestone are also popular choices, as they are both durable and have a unique aesthetic.
Crazy paving can be used to create a variety of different looks, depending on the size and shape of the stones, the colour scheme, and the laying pattern. For a more formal look, you can use large, evenly shaped stones laid in a regular pattern. For a more informal look, you can use smaller, irregularly shaped stones laid in a more random pattern.
