Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our Ablatio Sandstone (20–40mm) is an excellent choice for garden paths and walkways. It creates a natural-looking appearance while also helping to suppress weed growth and allowing water to drain freely.

To calculate how much Ablatio Sandstone (20–40mm) you need for your project, measure the length and width of the area where the stones will be placed.

Next, determine the desired depth of the stones. The required depth will vary depending on your project and the area you need to cover.

Once you have your length, width, and depth measurements, you can use our cubic metre calculator above or calculate the volume manually using the following formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth

Recommended Depth: As a general guide, we recommend laying decorative stones at a depth of 40–50mm. However, the ideal depth will depend on your project and the size of the stones. Larger stones may require a deeper layer for even coverage, while smaller stones can often be laid slightly thinner.

Both our sandstone and river gravel provide a natural look and excellent drainage properties.

Our crushed and tumbled sandstone is lighter in colour and has a more angular, textured appearance. River gravel, on the other hand, is generally darker in colour and has a naturally smooth, rounded surface that has been shaped by flowing water.

Our Ablatio Sandstone 20–40mm is a beautifully tumbled sandstone pebble, featuring warm coral, cream, and soft pink tones that bring natural character and vibrancy to any outdoor space. The tumbling process gives these stones a smoother, more rounded finish, creating a polished look that still retains the charm of natural sandstone.

A popular option for sandstone for the garden in Brisbane, this size is ideal for use around pavers, along pathways, and throughout garden beds where a slightly larger decorative stone is desired. The semi-rounded shape makes it easy to walk on while maintaining a neat and modern appearance.

These sandstone pebbles are perfect for adding warmth, texture, and a timeless feel to both contemporary and traditional landscape designs.
