Getting the best bang for your buck!

But one of the most important things to consider is how much work actually goes into preparing that stone. If everything is done by machine to uniform measurements, it will be a lot cheaper than hand sawing bespoke pieces. This can also impact how difficult it is to lay. For this reason, you need to work out where your priorities lie. For instance, if you particularly love the look of a specific kind of stone, you could look into reclaimed options, and even lay it in a more cost-effective way such as crazy paving. 

The maintenance your choice needs over time will have a cost implication too, but investing in a high value stone will mean a longer lasting end result and greater value added to your home during that time. What’s that saying… buy cheap, buy twice. At Upero, you will never buy twice and that’s why we have our exclusive Quality Guarantee.
