London, England -- (SBWire) -- 09/15/2015 --The summer months have seen increasing media attention directed towards outdoor activity. Whether this is in the form of greater time spent in gardens, or recreation further afield – this time of year certainly allows for appreciation of the outdoors, and the aesthetic qualities of the country itself. Recent reports show a stunning example of this, in light of a group of Montrose Charity fundraisers who recently abseiled down the famous Red Head Cliffs in Scotland – the highest cliffs in the Angus area. Not only did their abseiling effort draw focus to their chosen charity, Save the Children, but also to the natural environment itself.
The cliffs in question are composed of sandstone – a material known for its powerful visual properties. This is further evident in that sandstone sites often provide areas popular with tourism and recreation in the UK. Other areas where sandstone features attract attention are Dorset and Norfolk, just to name a few – and this has left many appreciators of the environment desiring to take a little of the landscape home with them.
In turn, an area set to grow in popularity – and serve as an important trend in garden landscaping this year - is the installation of sandstone. By having sandstone paving in the garden for example, people can bring an attractive element to their outdoor space. Highly knowledgeable on the subject and a prime provider of the stone, is London Stone. They are frequent commentators on industry news and a spokesperson had this to say.
"The rising appreciation of sandstone is certainly something to celebrate. Although it does have historical appeal and looks stunning in the great outdoors, more people with gardens are recognising it as an ideal addition to their personal spaces too – like gardens and even with their tiling. It is durable, can be crafted into a variety of forms including flags, paving, steps and paths – and also looks brilliant. We not only offer sandstone but Indian sandstone, and urge anyone who is interested to browse our extensive range."
