How to Choose a Limestone Supplier for a Retaining Wall

Are you thinking of building a beautiful natural stone retaining wall in your garden? The quality of the materials you use in the wall will make all the difference in building a stunning natural feature in your landscape, making it necessary to find a reliable limestone supplier to provide you with the finest natural rock.

When looking for a limestone supplier, try to find one that sources their blocks from a well established quarry. This will ensure that the quality and cut of the blocks are consistent, allowing you to build a retaining wall with a beautifully smooth facade. You should also choose a limestone supplier that is wholly Australian owned and operated, to both support Australian industry and to reduce costs associated with transporting the materials.

Australian quarried stone is also recognised worldwide as being of very high quality, so you should not choose a supplier that tries to palm you off with a lower grade stone or even a man made limestone substitute. Although concrete imitation stones may be cheaper, they are not nearly as durable as the real thing, and will degrade and weather badly over time.

Choose a limestone supplier that offers landscape pavers or blocks in a variety of different cuts, finishes and colours to allow you to create the right look for your garden. Plain and unadorned stone can sometimes look cold, harsh and out of place when it does not match the landscape around it properly, so it is important for you to plan the eventual landscape and planting design when purchasing your materials.

How To Remove Burn Marks From Granite

When granite is used as a bench top material in the kitchen it can sustain serious burn marks if hot pots are left on the surface, and when used as a vanity top in the bathroom a curling iron that has been left on can have a similar effect. If you have been unfortunate enough to notice burn marks on the surface of your granite, you will probably be interested in how you can go about removing them. Step 1: Wet the area of the granite that has sustained the burn mark using some clean, cold water. Then, using a very fine grade of sandpaper, begin sanding the mark off. Make sure that you use a gentle, circular motion to avoid causing further damage. Step 2: Wipe the area down with a soft, damp cloth to remove any debris. Then, using an even finer grade of sandpaper, continue to sand the granite. Again, be sure to only use a gentle, circular motion. Step 3: Rinse the area with cold water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. If you are satisfied that the burn mark has been rem

How To Remove Leaf Stains From Your Bluestone

One of the biggest problems associated with bluestone when used outdoors (as a patio, pathway or even steps) is that when leaves and other garden debris are left on its surface to decompose, it can stain the stone. These stains can be difficult to remove, but with the right method you are sure to get rid of them in no time. Begin by cleaning down the bluestone pavers. Sweep the loose leaves and debris away, then hose off any mud or decomposed parts. You will then need to put on some waterproof gloves, safety glasses, waterproof boots and protective clothing (such as overalls) to prevent your skin from coming into contact with the chemicals you will be working with. Next, fill a bucket with 10 parts warm water and 1 part household bleach. Make sure that you mix this solution together thoroughly. If there are any plants nearby to the stained areas of bluestone, cover them with a plastic drop cloth to protect them from damage caused by the solution. Simply po
