"Indian stone is more expensive than normal stone to have laid but much cheaper than the paving and yes it is substantial"

"Sandstone slabs are only 30 mils thick so need plenty of mortar base to sit them on it will last for years if done right but it's not cheap and is time-consuming"

"I wouldn’t recommend Indian stone to be used as a drive way as there not designed for the heavy weight of a vehicle as there are normally 25 to 30 mm thick and would crack and break easy under the weight"
