My slabs are cracked 😭
Don't worry, in limestone, lines that look like cracks are quite common. It might just be an fissure or a calcite veing. These are lines in the stone that wer formed millions of years ago. It's a beautiful part of the stone you spent your hard earned money on! Find out more about fissure lines and calcite veins over on our blog if you want to get a deeper understanding of this ---> https://www.foreststone.uk/2026/08/28/fissure-lines-in-limestone-paving-cracks-or-natural-stone-veins/ 🫶

BIGGG Level changes? No problem. This is how you conquer a 2.5-metre slope in style! 🏔️💥

We are on-site in Southampton with this absolute masterpiece of a two-tiered garden. It took four years of dedication to bring this bold concept to life, and the result is nothing short of epic.

Here’s how the tiers break down:

🪵 The Top Tier: A generous, elevated decking area seamlessly flowing from the house, complete with an outdoor kitchen, lounge, and frameless glass balustrades for uninterrupted garden views.

🧖‍♂️ The Lower Tier & Undercroft: The ultimate wellness retreat! Tucked away for privacy, this space houses a hot tub, whirlpool bath, bespoke sauna, and outdoor shower.

Linking these incredible levels together is a striking set of steps featuring our Italian Ashurst Grey Porcelain outdoor tiles, which sweep out to cover the entire lower wellness patio terrace. The cool, contemporary grey tones of the Ashurst Grey perfectly anchor the lush planting and structural design.

This build required meticulous engineering and serious dedication, flawlessly delivered by an elite team:

SPEECHLESS. PROUD. AND UTTERLY BUZZING! 🏆🏆🏆🎉

Huge, massive congratulations are in order for our incredibly talented clients—and more importantly, friends—Tom at and Paul at !

At last week's 2026, this breathtaking garden absolutely clean-swept the board, winning ALL THREE categories it was entered into:

🥇 Build Under £250k Winner (PD Groundscape)
🥇 Best Feature Under £50k Winner (PD Groundscape)
🥇 Best Design Under £250k Winner (Tom Hill Garden Design)

We are incredibly humbled that Tom and Paul invited us along to share their night. They were kind enough to say they valued our help and support, but let’s be real—the trophy belongs to their pure genius and relentless hard work! 🙌🥂

We are intensely proud to have supplied our Lymington Dune Limestone for this masterpiece. The Circle Garden is a masterclass in why we are utterly obsessed with natural stone.

Tom's brilliant design completely transformed a narrow side passage into a flowing, water-side haven using a warm color palette that seamlessly complements the home.

Using just our 40mm thick 900x600mm slabs, Paul and his team meticulously hand-crafted bespoke, curved S-shaped wall copings to frame a unique water feature (rumor has it a toilet plunger was even used as a makeshift compass point on-site! 🪠😂). They even routed the underside of the 40mm thick limestone to hide a continuous LED strip that casts a soft, atmospheric glow at night. That is the kind of attention to detail that wins awards!

To Paul, Tom, and the entire installation crew—thank you for letting Forest Stone play a small part in your proudest build yet. You guys are operating at the absolute top of your game. 🛠️✨

From a floating pond entrance to a coastal sanctuary… this is luxury UK living at its absolute finest. 🌊✨

We are incredibly proud to have supplied the landscaping materials for this jaw-dropping project over the last few years. If there was ever a build that shows what premium paving can do to create something special, this is it.

Before you even step through the front door, the drama begins. The driveway features our Lymington Beige Limestone configured into a bespoke hexagonal pattern with intricate pressed pebble infills. Step closer to the house, and you’re walking on massive, custom-cut pieces of the same limestone that literally appear to float on the pond surrounding the property. 🤯💧

Head around the back, and the magic continues:

🌾 A stunning herringbone path crafted from our Blissford Limestone Pavers, leading down to a beautiful Moongate and a coastal reflection area designed to take in the sea views.

☀️ A sweeping, airy entertainment terrace and luxury pool surround featuring our Kimmeridge Fossil Porcelain. Because the house features gorgeous Purbeck limestone on the facade, we needed a paving material that felt natural but offered maximum durability. Kimmeridge Fossil was the perfect match—giving that authentic look with its wavy, tumbled edge detail, but with the fade, stain, and R11 slip-resistance of premium porcelain. We even custom-cut and bullnosed the pool copings for that ultra-tactile finish. 🏊‍♂️✨

The second you walk around this property, you are completely transported to a peaceful coastal oasis. I love it every time I visit here.

Massive congratulations to the incredible teams who brought this vision to life:

What a day! ☀️🍔🎶🧱

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came down to the yard for our 2026 Summer Open Day a couple of Fridays ago. After taking a gamble on the British weather to give everyone more advance notice, the sun actually showed up for us! 🕶️✨

It was brilliant catching up with so many familiar faces, local contractors, and homeowners mapping out their dream projects.

We also have to say a huge thank you to the team at for keeping everyone incredibly well-fed with those amazing burgers, hotdogs, and loaded chips! 🍔🌱🍟

Between showing off our brand-new 2026 limestone products and our expanded porcelain displays, we managed to consume an incredible amount of street food, drink a few cold ones, and listen to some beautiful tunes in the sunshine.

Speaking of the music... a huge shoutout to our massive 5-DJ lineup who kept the vibes high all day long! , Craig, , , and the legend Bob Sewell from absolutely smashed it on the decks. 🙌🔊 (And yes, Bob did actually answer a few technical stone care questions between mixes!).

Swipe through to see some of the highlights from the day, beautifully captured by the talented ! ➡️📸

If you didn’t manage to make it down, don't worry—the new displays are set up permanently, and the team is at the yard ready to chat through your next project whenever you're ready.

Until next year! 🪨🥂
