Sabden Rise Sandstone Coursed Walling Stone

Sabden Rise Sandstone Coursed Walling is a premium sawn walling product, sourced from an independent Spanish quarry known for its consistency, high performance, and attention to quality. Selected for its compatibility with British landscapes, this fine-grained sandstone is precision-sawn to height and length, allowing for fast, efficient installation and a clean, structured finish suited to both traditional and contemporary applications.

Available in a range of finishes—including ashlar, split face, and pitch face—Sabden Rise offers design flexibility while maintaining the precise geometry and tight coursing expected from high-specification sawn stone. A tinted finish is also available where subtle tonal adjustment is required.

The stone’s warm buff tones, natural veining, and gentle colour variation allow it to sit comfortably within rural and urban environments. Sawn backs and sides enable consistent jointing and streamlined installation, while the selected face finish provides visual depth and architectural clarity.

With robust test data and proven performance in UK conditions, Sabden Rise is one of the most dependable European stones in our range. Cut to order in both standard and bespoke sizes, and available with short lead times, it is ideal for large-scale retaining walls, boundary treatments, garden structures, and architectural masonry.
