The distinctive blue-grey colouring of Blue Lias limestone, supplied by Hadspen Quarry in Somerset, is ideal for creating attractive paths and stone floors.
Hadspen / Cary Stone is a beautiful, versatile limestone, widely known for its rich tones and adaptability to a range of walling applications. Quarried from Somerset, Hadspen Stone is a premium material for both contemporary and traditional walling projects, offering durability, aesthetic appeal, and a sense of authenticity. Whether used for new builds or restoration projects, Hadspen Stone provides a timeless, natural finish that enhances the look of any wall.
Dressed Walling Stone is one of the most popular choices for structured, formal walls. This type of stone is sawn on the top and bottom to ensure uniformity and ease of laying. After being cropped to random lengths, the stone is hand-dressed on the face, maintaining its natural texture while offering a refined appearance. This combination of natural beauty and uniformity makes dressed walling stone an excellent choice for projects where a consistent, clean look is required.
Hadspen dressed walling stone is available in both uniform and random heights, allowing builders to choose the option that best suits their project. Heights are often gauged to work with standard blockwork, making installation straightforward. This precision in height and sawing, combined with the natural character of the stone, creates a perfect blend of structure and beauty.
For a more rustic, traditional aesthetic, Semi-Dressed Walling Stone offers a fantastic option. Often referred to as local random rubble stone, semi-dressed stone is cropped to a practical building size and then hand-dressed, giving the stone an organic, rustic look. This style of walling is ideal for projects that aim to blend in with the surrounding landscape or replicate a more historic, countryside aesthetic. Semi-dressed walling stone maintains the strength and resilience of dressed stone while offering a more varied and natural appearance.
