Really Crazy Paving

Do you remember when we told you we had an exciting collaboration coming up? Well, it is all finished and installed. Happily, we can now say that the pieces we have made for The Eden Project are complete. We are so proud to have worked with Eden, a legendary Cornish landmark that promotes, sustainability, environmental education, and creativity.

A little while ago the Eden Project contacted us with a commission that was a little different. Although the granite for this job was not from our quarry we were tasked with using our wire saw to cut it to the perfect size and create some really crazy paving!

This wire saw is an amazing machine that allows for precise cuts to be made from a granite boulder in order to create amazing bespoke pieces. This makes it the perfect tool for things like Cornish Granite Lintels and Quoins but also for bespoke jobs that use granite as a form of art. Here at Lantoom, we are passionate about not only supporting local businesses but also producing unique products with Cornish stone that tell a story.

The Eden team decided to lay their paving into a resin-bound pathway, acting as stepping stones, and we love the final result! This part of their biome is a South African exhibit.

So why would a company like Eden choose natural stone supplied and cut by Cornish production chains? Granite is not only synonymous with our fantastic county but it is also hard-wearing and therefore a sustainable product. It lasts for decades and is an amazing material to create garden features with.
