Raj Green Sandstone Paving has been popular in the UK for many years, largely because it feels familiar. The stone comes from the Rajasthan region of India, where the fine-grained beds produce a reliable blend of muted colours. The palette typically includes soft olive greens, warm browns and gentle grey notes that shift slightly with the light. In bright sun the slabs can show more of the pale buff and light green tones. In shade or after rain the colours deepen, bringing out richer browns and charcoal accents. That changing character across the day keeps a Raj Green patio interesting without making it busy. It also means the paving sits comfortably next to brick, stone or rendered walls, and works well with both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

Because Raj Green is a natural sandstone, every slab has its own markings and shade. There will always be some variation between packs and batches, and this is part of the appeal. Across a larger area this gentle mix creates depth and movement rather than a flat, uniform surface. For many homeowners this is exactly what they want from Indian stone paving. The surface is naturally textured, which helps with traction when the paving is wet and makes the slabs feel secure underfoot. With correct installation on a suitable base, Raj Green Sandstone stands up well to frost, heavy rain and day-to-day use in UK gardens.

Raj Green Sandstone is a strong option if you want a patio or path that feels settled, traditional and easy to live with. The colour blend suits cottages, period properties and mature gardens, but it can also soften the look of newer homes where very smooth or very pale paving might appear too stark. In practical terms, Raj Green performs well for patios, paths and general seating areas. Where thicker formats are chosen and laid correctly on an appropriate base, the stone can also be used for higher load areas such as parking spaces, which gives an idea of how robust it can be.

Maintenance is straightforward. A sweep to clear debris and an occasional wash with clean water is usually enough to keep the slabs looking fresh. You do not need specialist cleaners for normal day-to-day care, which helps keep ongoing costs under control. A common question is whether Raj Green requires sealing. As a natural sandstone, it can be sealed to deepen the colour and make cleaning lighter marks easier, but sealing is optional rather than essential. Many homeowners choose a breathable sandstone sealer if they want extra protection. Others prefer to let the paving weather naturally.

When you compare Raj Green Indian sandstone price per m2 with some other natural stones, it often gives a more affordable route to a traditional stone patio. You still get the character and variation of genuine sandstone without stepping into the very highest price brackets. You may also see references to Raj Blend online. In general use, Raj Blend is associated with a similar family of tones, although it often leans a little more towards buff and pink shades. On this site, Raj Green Sandstone Paving refers to the familiar blend of green, brown and grey that most UK homeowners recognise as Raj Green.

Despite the name, Raj Green Sandstone is not solid green. The stone brings together soft greens, warm browns, buff notes and muted greys, with the odd hint of plum or beige depending on the bed it is cut from. This gives the paving a traditional, slightly weathered feel that works particularly well with planted borders and older brickwork. Raj Green Sandstone Paving is offered in a range of popular formats, including 900 x 600 and 600 x 600 slabs, as well as mixed-size patio packs that create a more random, flagstone-style layout. Matching cobbles, linear planks and circle kits can also be used where available, so you can keep the same colour running through paths, feature areas and small seating spots.

The slabs are cut and prepared for straightforward laying on a suitable full bed. Once installed and jointed correctly, the surface feels solid underfoot and the pattern of sizes helps the patio read as one complete space rather than separate sections.
