Patio flagstones (slabs), concrete flags, stone flags including yorkstone and imported flagstones.

We can't work out what to buy. Want something light, warm and creamy in colour without too much variation in colour from stone to stone. Quite like fossil mint but would prefer something a bit warmer; Modak is too pink. We want to pave our whole garden (34 m sq) so don't want anything too dark or gloomy. Hate grey, dark brown etc. Don't like anything too yellowy either! Any suggestions gratefully received. We're thinking Indian sandstone generally...

Raj 'Green'. Depending on the supplier, it's fairly consistent in light shades with some variation in colour would be my choice.

On the last, I know there's a couple of crosses. The lad who did that one had a right boot but I think it still looks good anyway.

Thanks mate. :)

Hopefully the gaffer won't have a look. Far too many decks.
