Reclaimed Paving

We carry extensive stocks of reclaimed paving.

Being based in the heart of The Cotswolds, we carry a substantial quantity of our local limestone flag which is available in a range of colouring from paler Bathstome through to the desirable honey colour of the North Cotswolds. We also have stocks of external Cotswold paving and cotswold cobbles available.
York stone is the traditional choice for external works and, with a minimum of 600 Msq in stock at any one time, there is plenty to choose from including some single large batches.
Other paving options you may wish to consider are Pennant, Blue Lias, Portland or Forest Sandstone - all of which can be viewed at our yard here.
Current stock includes:
Over 800M² Portland paving
Single batch of 170M² Pennant


Over 150M² internal Cotswold flagstones

Stock York - Over 400M²

Zaza's Blog - April 2016

Did you know that in the last 30 years there has been an 83% decline in the numbers of the Grevy's zebra? This is why I'm so pleased to be involved with the 'Zany yZebra's' event down in Southampton to support the cause.
Organized by Marwell Wildlife, there will be a 'stampede' of zebra sculptures throughout the town which will later be auctioned off for charity. I will be taking my place at the zoo itself for the entire Summer to help out. The guys at Marwell Zoo do some amazing work towards the conservation of the Grevy's zebra and other species and all proceeds will go to help monitor endangered species, train conservation managers and support communities in Northern Kenya.
Back home, preperations are well under way to begin the construction of my brother - heres a sneaky preview:


Speaking of construction, the new Budgens is nearly complete. The stione for the build was supplied by my friends up at Cotswold Hill Quarry and I think it looks great!

Best make a start on that shopping list......

3: Stained Glass

1: Cast Iron Planter - It's time to start planning the planting in the garden and we think this cast iron planter would make a great feature either as a centre piece in a courtyard or to add a little height to flowerbeds and borders.
2: Winchcombe Tile - These replica Cotswold roof tiles are a cost effective alternative to natural stone. Ideal for period properties and new-builds alike, they offer a traditional roof covering. Contact us with any enquiries you may have.....
3: Stained Glass - With blossom flowers depicted in soft pastel colours, this hand painted piece is full of the joys of Spring. Could be built into a fanlight above a doorway or simply used as a decorative wall hanging.

ZaZa's Blog - March 2016

What a blustery few weeks it's been with inclement weather and storm Imogen raging past. Luckily, I managed to keep my hooves dry but it took a lot of effort not to get blown away..... I even lost my tail and had to udergo emergency repairs to fix it back on!
Now thing seem to have calmed down a little and from my viewpoint I can see the first signs of Spring with blue skies, blooming flowers and lambs beginning to appear. In fact, it's an ideal time to visit the Cotswold Farm Park where you will soon see another one of Daves' creations.....
I have kept myself busy recently bu studying the form for the Cheltenham races and will be placing my bets soon. Unfortunately, training didn't really go to plan  as they couldn't find a saddle big enough, so I shall only be a spectator this year but will be at the roadside tp greet everybody travelling to and from the racecourse....
In other news, I may soon be joined by my Brother (he is beiung sketched out at the moment and promises to be even bigger) so we can enjoy a family holiday down to Marwell Zoo in the Summer.
Think I may start packing.... what should I wear....?

Zebra Fact:  The Grevy's zebra is teh largest wild equine weighing in at 350 - 450kg. 
(I'm thinking that giving up chocolate for lent was a good move!)
