Bluestone Driveway Pavers – Strength, Style & Superior Slip Resistance
If you’re building or upgrading a driveway and want something that’s as strong as it is stunning, Bluestone Driveway Pavers are the ideal solution. Known for their durability, non-slip surface, and timeless elegance, Bluestone is the first choice for architects, builders, and homeowners across Melbourne—and for good reason.
At Slate Discounts, we supply an extensive range of large-format Bluestone pavers, with finishes and strengths suitable for residential and commercial driveways.
Why Choose Bluestone for Your Driveway?
Driveways demand a paving material that can handle the weight of vehicles, the wear of daily use, and exposure to weather. Bluestone ticks every box:
🪨 Incredible strength – Dense natural stone capable of handling vehicle traffic
🚗 Non-slip surface – Flamed or sawn finishes rated P5 or R12, the highest slip resistance available
🧼 Low maintenance – Easy to clean and naturally stain-resistant
☀️ Thermal durability – Withstands heat, cold, and Melbourne’s weather extremes
🏡 High-end look – Instantly adds curb appeal and property value
Large Bluestone Pavers – Bold, Modern Driveway Design
Large-format pavers like 800x400mm, 1000x500mm, and 1200x800mm are increasingly popular for driveways. These create a modern, seamless effect, with fewer joins and an elegant, oversized appearance.
💪 Thicker formats (30mm or more) are recommended for vehicle-bearing applications, ensuring maximum load support without cracking.
Melbourne’s Most Trusted Range
We supply all major Bluestone varieties to suit any design or budget:
Harkaway Bluestone – Ultra-durable with rich texture
European Bluestone – Smooth, premium look with subtle flecking
Chinese Bluestone – Economical, charcoal-toned and consistent
Australian Bluestone – Classic and character-rich, ideal for heritage-style homes
And yes, we proudly offer Melbourne’s largest Bluestone range—if not Australia’s.
