Indian sandstone prices and availability

wildlifeboy

Hi,

I have been shopping around dublin for prices and the best i can get is 18 euro per square metre in Dublin from a place in rathcoole. anyone recomend anywhere else i could look into.

Thats a good price,i paid 21.50 for mine

Actually after VAT which they didnt include it came to 22 e.
Can anyone on here tell me how much area would 1 tonne of sand and one tonne of grit cover? the guy said i need two tonnes of grit for 11 squard metres but i find this hard to belieive.

The easy way to calculate how much sand you need is, if the depth off sand is 2 inches deep in the area it takes 1 tonne per 10 square metres

I bought indian sandstone from oldbrige concrete and paving in drogheda a few years ago. I honestly cannot remember the price but remember pricing around at the time and they came out the best.

They deliver to dublin but no doubt they may charge you.

Paid just under E40 M2 to Roadstone about ten years ago .

Is 21 euro per square meter for black limestone a good price??

the paving king

21 euro is a very good price for black limestone if it is calibrated ( all the same depth ) as calibrated is very easy to lay

I am getting them delievered tomorrow and am going to do the work myself. I have two questions. is it easy to get the fall so the rain flows into the grass and also this may sound very stupid but how do you tell which side goes face up because my parents did a patio and they were told all the slabs are upside down???

the paving king

it takes very little fall for water to flow . the sandstone slabs will be tapered at the sides so when the sandstone slab is laid the taper should be like should be facing inwards
