Thank for you considering Paradise Stone – one of very few true Northland building stones for your stonework project. We assure you that you will be pleased with the finished result, we will make sure of it!Paradise Stone is a very dense and durable sedimentary limestone which could more accurately be described as Northland Oceanic Schist. Once part of the ocean floor, each fragment comprising the stone is a tiny piece of ancient coral, crustacean and mollusc shell laid down in sedimentary layers when the entire area of Whangarei was a giant tropical lagoon 30 million years ago. As such, our schist has more of an oceanic look and feel as compared to other alpine style varieties commonly seen.It is the very distinct sedimentary lines that create the texture and finish which separates Paradise Stone from any commercially available quarried stone available in New Zealand or indeed anywhere else in the world.In selecting a stone for a quality development we believe it is important to consider how best to blend naturally with the surrounding environment and ensure that the finished product looks like it belongs there. Paradise Stone will most certainly achieve that for you – right at home in Northland. In addition, other construction and landscaping considerations can all be sourced from the same quarry, random crazy paving, formal cut paving, stepping stones, slabs, feature rocks, garden mulch. Any or all of which will enhance the blending from one to another and give you a stunning and very natural looking result – particularly in coastal projects.Call Paradise Quarry Stonemasons today for a free appraisal of your stonework plans.
