Why is Sandstone an Alternative for Civil Projects Compared to Other Stone Materials?

Sandstone is a preferred choice by landscape designers, architects and landscape architects because of its visual aesthetic as a natural product and how its colour tones blend with the natural landscape it is installed upon. Sandstone is also preferred for the sheer ease of installation, durability and functionality in civil construction, especially in large scale applications.

Gosford Quarries Civil Sandstone Supply is also specified to the preferences Councils seek for civil and public works. Its end-users performing civil engineering and construction want a natural or recycled product and many councils, civil construction companies and architects just prefer to use sandstone above all other materials (another top of mind being brick and concrete).

In fact, alternative materials such as brick and concrete supplied as 20mm crushed material is a harder product which does not have as much flexibility compared to 50mm crushed sandstone material products. Sandstone is far more weather-friendly and durable as it is part of our very land and environment in its origins, hence perfectly suited to our climate and weather conditions; a fact that architects and civil engineers are keenly aware of.

Sandstone, being a totally natural product, is also environmentally friendly and environmentally sustainable. Sandstone is a 100 percent recyclable natural stone material, another factor influencing sandstone as a choice of material in civil construction and engineering. There is an ever-growing consciousness regarding our environmental footprint throughout the private and public sectors and sustainability is a high checklist item.

Quite simply, the inherent nature of a sandstone product, the fact it is a 100 percent Australian product, the reliable quality and longevity, large scale availability and obvious visual aesthetic makes sandstone an incredibly appealing material in the eyes of all key stakeholders within civil and public industries.

Generally, the council and government clients are primarily concerned with where Gosford Quarries are sourcing raw quarry-run civil sandstone materials.
