I am looking for a supplier for a design of patio flag that incorporates a Sunflower design. It is made up of four or five points with a central circle and can be central to a square border.Any help will be welcome in sourcing this pattern or something similar in the Yorkshire area. Thanks.

Is this in wet cast concrete or in stone flags, Daz?

Thanks for your reply. It is in stone /concrete flags. It is either a Sunflower or a Star pattern because the 'petals' go out to a point .

I think we might be at crossed purposes, here. I ask whether you want stone or concrete flags, and you reply that it's "stone/concrete", which doesn't help me much! ;)

Anyway, Bradstone do a 16-pointed 'star' feature in their concrete Old Town range. This is a picture I took last year...

...meanwhile, Stonemarket do a stone flag star feature as part of their Trustone range, of which I don't have a decent photies, so I scannid in this image from their catalogue...

...I know that other manufacturers also knock out their own versions of these motifs. Bingley Stone Centre, in West Yorkshire, were making a custom-designed star motif in stone paving when I visited them last autumn, and the moulds for manufacturing the components in wet-cast concrete are now available via at least one of the largest suppliers, so I expect to see several more 'versions' on the market in the coming months.

Cheers Tony ,'' you're a star''. By the way are the Bradstone and Stonemarket ranges available nationwide. Sorry about the stone/concrete bit , my head was on upside down I think.

Yes, you should be able to buy Bradstone at most of the larger, national BMs as it is one of the biggest selling brands, and Stonemarket, which used to be more or less targetted at the Garden Centre market, is much more widely available nowadays.
