When you think of natural stone, you might picture elegant patios, sweeping driveways, or beautifully crafted interiors. But behind every tile, slab and aggregate is a story, and behind every story is a team of people who care deeply about the journey from earth to entranceway.
At Stone & Surfaces Direct, we're not just about supplying high-quality stone and porcelain materials. We're about sharing our knowledge, offering real support, and delivering not just products, but peace of mind. Here's a closer look at who we are, what we believe in, and why our customers rate us so highly.
A Team Built on Experience, Expertise and Integrity
With decades in the natural stone and hard landscaping industry, our team brings a depth of experience that few can match. But it’s not just about years in business, it’s about the passion that drives us. Every member of the team is committed to understanding the true nature of each material we offer, from its geological origin to its practical application in your home or garden.
We’ve spent years, and continue to, walking quarries, testing materials, and working alongside expert stonemasons, quarrymen and manufacturers. We’ve learned not just how stone is formed, but how it behaves - how it weathers, how it lays, and how it transforms a space.
This expert knowledge means we don’t just sell what looks good, we help you choose what’s right for your needs.
We Travel So You Don’t Have To
One of the most personal parts of our process is how we source our products. We don’t rely on middlemen or trade catalogues because instead, we travel directly to quarries across the UK, Europe and beyond to hand-select only the finest, ethically sourced stone.
Whether it’s slate from the Lake District, sandstone from the heart of Rajasthan, or porcelain paving from trusted global partners, we only work with suppliers who share our values: quality, sustainability and integrity.
This hands-on approach means every product you see on our website has been vetted by our team for durability, beauty and value. We’ve seen it, touched it, and imagined where it might belong, whether that be on your patio, in your hallway, around your firepit.

We're proud to be rated 4.8 on Trustpilot, and even prouder that our reviews speak not just to product quality, but to the service behind the scenes. We take the time to guide you through your choices, helping you select the perfect material for your space and lifestyle, whether you're revamping a garden path or undertaking a full-scale landscape transformation.

Whether you're an architect, a landscaper, or a homeowner embarking on your first garden makeover, we offer honest advice and clear guidance. No upselling, no pressure, just genuine, expert support from people who want your project to be as successful as you do.
