We were delighted to support the creation of a bespoke slate firepit for a private home in Stockbridge, Hampshire, by supplying the circular state copings used in its construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The homeowners wanted a unique outdoor feature that would act as a focal point in their garden while providing a welcoming space for entertaining. To achieve the design, precisely cut slate copings were required to create a smooth, circular finish. Working alongside our colleagues at Stone Workshop in Ulverston, we manufactured the bespoke slate components<\/a> to meet the exact requirements of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slate was chosen for its durability, weather resistance and natural appearance, ensuring the firepit would blend seamlessly into the landscaped setting while offering long-term resilience. Its versatility also allowed us to shape the copings to the detailed specifications of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Installation was carried out by Longstock Landscapes, with the design left by Arbour Landscape Solutions. Their expertise, combined with the quality of the slate, resulted in a firepit that is both practical and visually striking. The finished piece demonstrates how natural slate can be adapted for bespoke architectural features, bringing lasting character to outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Norfolk, a customer designed their own water feature using Ravendale Blue Grey slate. The piece was produced with a chiselled border and a hand-cut sunburst design, with channels cut into the reverse to house water pipes for a flush fit against an existing wall. This project demonstrates how natural slate can be adapted into unique, practical features.<\/p>\n\n\n
