Hard landscaping specialist Charcon has supplied 500m of natural stone block paving as part of the ongoing maintenance of Shrewsbury town centre.
Reclaimed Yorkstone flags laid some 20 years ago had been significantly damaged by the use of heavy delivery vehicles in the town centre. In order to reduce maintenance, improve safety and maintain the aesthetics, the replacement stone block paving was chosen in line with the medieval town centre environment.
After trials by the Council of small element setts on a number of road crossings, Charcon supplied its 75mm thick Moorland Yorkstone tumbled setts in random sizes for a rustic aesthetic. With precision cutting for tighter tolerances, the product has a variety of colours.
The company has also supplied sandstone kerbing for a number of traffic calming and maintenance projects in the area.
