Rustic stone
Crazy paving, Palladiana, tumbled tiles, squared stone, setts, wall strips, pebbles and garden rocks: the stone of southern Italian courtyards, farmhouses and pool decks, already worked and ready on pallets.
What it is
Stone that never becomes a slab
Not all stone ends up as polished slabs. Thin beds, pieces of uneven thickness and offcuts become yard products: split, sawn on the back, tumbled. They are what Mediterranean outdoor floors and stone walls are made of, and they are bought by the square metre, not by the slab.
The two most requested stones are Trani stone, the pale Apulian limestone quarried a few kilometres from our office, and travertine, which keeps its natural holes on show once tumbled. Alongside them are warm-toned natural stones, from cream to gold, and pebbles.
The photos show the real stone, close up. Rustic stone varies from lot to lot, in tone and in markings: at quotation stage you choose from the lot available.
The trade terms
Seven words to read the product sheets
Each product's name lists the working it has received, and that decides how the stone is laid. In the product details, underlined terms explain themselves.
- Sawn back
- The back of each piece is sawn flat. The thickness is even, so the stone can be laid in tile adhesive instead of a deep mortar bed.
- Tumbled
- The pieces turn in a drum with water and abrasives: the edges round off and the face takes on the worn look of a centuries-old floor. It is also less slippery.
- Split face
- The face or edge is split with a guillotine rather than sawn, leaving the stone's natural fracture, rough and in relief.
- Bush-hammered
- The face is struck with a bush hammer, a hammer with a pointed head: it turns rough and matt, with a fine grain that does not slip.
- Sawn edges
- The sides are sawn straight, so the pieces butt together with a thin, even joint.
- Natural cleft
- The face the stone shows when it splits along its own beds: no working at all, and the best grip underfoot.
- Random lengths
- Fixed or graded height, free length. The pieces are laid in staggered horizontal courses.

More layouts, more places
Courtyards, terraces, pool surrounds, façades and gardens: the same stone as in the photos, once it is laid.
Reconstructed images, not Eurostone supplies: the stone is the one in our photos, laid in contemporary architectural settings. They show the material in place, not a completed project.
How to order
From the pallet to the site
By area, on pallets
Quantities are worked out on the area to cover; for pebbles, also on the depth of the layer. Crazy paving needs a waste allowance, usually 5 to 10%. Flags and strips travel on pallets inside a wire-mesh crate; pebbles in baskets.
A sample before the order
Tone, markings and thickness change from one lot to the next. Before ordering you can ask for a sample of the lot available, and decide on the real stone.
Italy and worldwide
We coordinate loading, paperwork and transport: full trucks within Italy and Europe, containers for shipments by sea. One point of contact from order to delivery.
