I've got a pile of hand cut indian sandstone which I'm intending to lay with an edge course, however I cannot decide what material and colour to use. For practicality and cost I'm tending towards concrete 200x100 pavers, and probably either charcoal or buff, but I can't really picture them next to the flags when laid.
Has anyone got any photos of past work involving riven red sandstone and and edge course as described above?
Can anyone suggest any alternatives for me to consider?
Cheers!

Thanks LLL.
Seeing Tony's comments on another thread is getting me thinking that a concrete edge course might look a bit naff next to riven natural stone.. 
Any more examples out there, or aren't there any cos it's so naff nobody does it?

well its all a matter of taste and interpretation of aesthetics
the customer in the above picture was over the moon and argent are a high end block so tend to keep their looks
I think it creates a nice effect myself

I'm unfamiliar with 'argent'- is that a type of block, a brand?
One of the attractions with concrete is they're fairly easy on the pocket, I'm looking at about a palette and a bit (550 blocks or thereabouts) to do edge courses and mowing strips, so I'm not sure I'm going to command a good price for the quantities I need, whatever I use.

We supply a new shot-blasted (granite effect) cobble 100x100x60mm, in a choice of colours. Similar to the Argent but perhaps lends itself better as a bordering edge because of the size.
A few photos along with other items here:-
