ABOUT FOREST STONE
We’re a family business obsessed with paving and what it can do to transform outside spaces. Seeing the beginnings of a project, and then checking in on it when the build has reached its potential is what we love. It’s why we do what we do. After years of working in the industry for landscaping supplies merchants we realised we’d love the freedom to stock a versatile range of products and make the buying experience as good as it possibly can be. This is what we hold in our minds every day we’re at the yard. Paving your way.
