I bought about 8 to 9 square yards of York stone crazy paving at some
sales, all cleaned and ready to use, but as I can't really get it to
fit in with the surrounding paving am selling it. Has anyone an idea
what it's worth these days?

It's really beautiful, old and just craggy enough to look natural
without being too bumpy to walk on. There's various sizes, so it will
look good when down. In fact, it's so nice, I'd like to keep the damned
stuff - but it just has to go!

From AJ McCormack site (http://www.pavingexpert.com/york01.htm):

Reclaimed ("second-hand") stone pavings command a price of £15 - £40 per
square metre, or more. The better the quality, the higher the price.

Personally I'd get rid of the surrounding paving and replace it with
Yorkstone.


Have just seen this. Is it possible to use the York stone by making a
feature of how different it is? Surround e.g. a square, or diamond shape of
the York stone with a border of other stone or mellow brick and bring it in
that way? When making any paved terrace to sit on, it's necessary to
remember (and lots forget!) that it needs to be of a material that will not
cause the table to wobble, spilling precious gin. ;-)
